Ziploc Freezer Bags, Reusable Gallon Size Slider Bags, BPA-free Plastic, Power Shield Technology - 10 Count

We recently went on a family vacation, and as usual, I purchased Ziploc products for food and other uses, buying several boxes of both quart and gallon size bags. Several bags from each box split down the side before I'd even had a chance to put anything into them. The bags were purchased from different retailers, and even in different states, so I don't think it was a batch issue.

Argh ! I use the Ziplock Freezer Bags at home as well as in my restaurant. We go thru alot of them as we are always repackaging the cases of phillies, Steak fingers, Chicken Fried Steaks , ect for easier storage and handling. We also bar-b-que for the restaurant and use Ziplocks to store chopped beef , puled pork and sausage . They just are not working for us...all of the cooks complain about how hard they are to deal with, I agree.

I have been using Ziploc bags for years, but someone broke them! The new design of the easy open tab makes the bags break. I have to use scissors to cut them open! I don't see how these passed any kind of testing! I will be buying a different brand for all of my storage needs.

Your new "Easy Open Tabs" on the gallon size freezer bags are nice to grab to open, however, they are so strong that when I open the bag, the sides of the bag tear down the seam. This is happening on almost every bag I open, even when I am especially trying to be careful not to tear the bag. This is very frustrating. You either need to reinforce the sides, or change the strength of the grip on the zip!

Ziploc has ALWAYS been my "go to" bags when freezing. I have been a Ziploc user for years, especially when canning/freezing season comes in. Recently, I ran out of the older freezer bags I had in stock, and had to buy the new ones. What happened?! I pulled a bag out of the box, and had to look twice to be sure I had picked up the correct ones. They are SO much thinner, had holes in the first 2 I pulled out of the box, and they don't seal as well as the older ones. Epic fail!!! I will be returning the new stock I just bought, (pint, quart and gallon bags) and looking for another brand.
