50pcs 1 Gallon Mylar Bags for Food Storage, 10 Mil 10"x14" Stand-Up Zipper Pouches Resealable and Heat Sealable Bags for Long Term Food Storage(10"x14", Extra Thick)

Just what I needed. Gallon size was too large, and 1 quart was too small for the packages of food I was preserving. Love that the oxygen absorbers came with the bags. Nice and thick, good quality bags. This was definitely a great value.

I am on a farm and preserve alot of my own food to eat healthier and know what's in my food. Also, if you live out of town it's just natural to stay stocked up on things so you don't run out. These are my favorite ones so far. They are nice and thick so don't rip, tear, or stretch out. The ziplocks are nice and strong so no worries coming loose. I love the extra they leave for sealing above the ziplocks at the top. If I only seal a little at a time they can be resealed 2 or 3 times. The stand up feature is huge for me as I"m usually doing everything by myself without an extra hand. I store heavy things like flour, sugar, salt and cornmeal in them so those bags are pretty heavy and they hold up great. I accidentally got some that fill from the bottom and were already sealed at the top and they were no comparison to these. I've ordered their sets of mixed sizes and those are just as good, but I tend to use gallons more than anything. The labels on these are good as well although I tend to just write on the bags with a Sharpie.

Fast and cheap

These are my go-to bags for all my freeze drying needs. Excellent weight, not thin like some of the others I had tried. They do a wonderful job. I also love the zipper close so I can seal them prior to heat sealing the bags. That provides me a lot less stress and more working time to get them in the heat sealer. I do all my work alone and before I had to do one bag at a time so as to not waste oxygen absorbers. This allows me to do all my bags at once and seal the oxygen absorbers in and then go back and do all the heat sealing in one go. It definitely makes my work much more efficient and saves me time. Would highly recommend.

For the money you're paying, these are very nice, quality items.There are others that are more sturdy/durable but they cost an arm and a leg.Being a person that must watch every penny I spend, these are a smart use of my money.I will keep buying these for my quart storage needs.The only "con" to them is that the zippers on the bags are always zipped close and there have been times that I've damaged the bags, trying to get them open. I guess one could argue that the zippers being so difficult to open means they are top quality zippers!If you need good quality at a decent price, I'd recommend you try these.

I learned about this product from a friend. I am very happy with the results.

Overall, I'm satisfied with the quality of the product, but note a few details.The bag is spec'd as 5 mil thickness , and actually measures 4.5 mils....10% thinner. I'm satisfied that the 4.5 mil will work for my use, but if this -10% is a make-or-break deal for you, be advised.The zip-lock does leak air, and does not offer a hermetically sealed bag. Inflate the bag, and gently squeeze the sides and you will note that air does escape through the zip-lock. The side seams and the gusset on my test will not leak air, so these are quality joints. So these bags are suitable for short-term storage, but for long-term you will need to heat seal above the zip with an impulse sealer, defeating the use of the zip-lock. Or move onto a vacuum sealer.No evidence of pin-holes in the gusset seams. The seams are well formed on all the bags I inspected.Others have reported that the zip is difficult to open. It is stiff, and does require some effort. However, the stiffness insures that it will not open accidently in a backpack, and enables air-tight short-term storage.Totally satisfied, and would buy these bags again.
