do these stay forever sealed until you unseal them or do they only stay that way when u first put them in storage only later to lose seal and expand?

These are not the vacuum type bags. They don't collapse by vacuuming the air out. They are just regular storage and yes they stay sealed until you open them.

The ziploc bags are not air tight. They have a zipper around the top so should stay shut but also have a narrow mesh around the top and are not vacuum sealed.

I didn't get an image to your question so I think you are asking about the Ziploc Storage bags, if so they stay sealed for almost forever, you can unseal and reseal, they are the best!

My assumption is they should last virtually forever, each package is sealed. I buy, and keep them for years.

It depends upon how they are kept. They should be kept in a cool, dry location in an airtight container. I have kept them safely for a year following these procedures.

They come dry, once you get them and when you are ready to use them place them in warm water in order to make them expand. They will stay expanded for a couple of weeks once you see them shrinking place them in warm water again so you can re-used them

I honestly haven't tested them, I load them up and stack them and put them in the freezer. I have never had anything leak out, the lid is tight, it won't pop off. I haven't put them on their sides or upside down however to test the seal. Hope this helps!

They can be resealed as needed, the seal holds well, the slide mechanism tends to come off the ends. I expected better quality from Ziploc products. I have things stored for over a year now no leaks!

They last a very long time, i too have a foodsaver and i prefer to vacuum seal it that way last forever and no funny burns or ice inside the package and after i freeze them, hope it helps.

They have a vacuum seal, but I always open and use within a month of purchase. Then again, I use them in a lot of recipes.

Well, I keep them after opening in a ziplock bag and I think sometimes it's 6 months or more before I use them all. Sometimes I put them in the refrigerator in the ziplock bag. Once you've reconstituted them with water however I'd use them within a few days.

They have a long shelf life. I just keep them unopened in the pantry. Once opened, I store the opened bag in a gallon ziplock bag for several months with no problem.

Yes Lori, they are sealed airtight. Sometimes they can be difficult to open, but have always succeeded. They stay fresh for a while, but they never last too long around my house. They are delicious!

They last for quite a long time as long as you keep them sealed tight and in a dark place. I just seal mine back up in the bag they were shipped in and store them in my spice cabinet inside the bubble envelope they arrived in. they are delicious! I make vanilla sugar, vanilla extract, vanilla frosting, vanilla ice cream...etc

They certainly seem to be completely sealed. Either using the snap on, one time use lid or the more expensive gamma lid.I prefer the gamma so that access is available to the product stored with out the hassle of replacing the snap on lid.

Yes they are sealed once you connect them. I love them, especially for the price

Yes, freezing them gives them a longer shelf life. We freeze them, tightly sealed, and they stay fresh for several months. We take out small supplies to use, keeping them in a jar with a tight lid.

Unopened, they last a long time and would be good for storage. Opened, they don't. It depends on how humid your climate is, but I'm in a very dry place, and they sog after a few days to a week.

They are vacumn sealed in double plastic and expand after you open them. It takes 24 to 48 hours in a warm flat place for them to fully expand.
