Using these bags to store dry dog food in a #2 plastic container. Are the bags shipped so that they do not get creased causing leaks?

Hello, I am glad you asked this here so that others can read this as well because this pops up from time to time. Mylar is one of the toughest flexible materials ever created. The film we use to make these can take the weight of two and a half cinder blocks EVERY square inch... and folding does not hurt it. (Still, we do ship orders of 3 or more in a large box as long as it is not Fulfilled by Amazon) But Mylar film is transparent. It looks metallic because a separate layer of aluminum has been added to the Mylar. Normal use, even filling it or moving it, will cause tiny breaks in the foil layer that you may sometimes see if you hold it to the light - but don't worry, they are not holes. This happens with all Mylarfoil films and their barrier properties are not significantly effected . I'm glad you didn't forget your best friend! We are now including extra absorbers in all our sets, which is better for items like dog food that have a lot of interstitial air. Merry Christmas!

The bags I have stay sealed. What I do is put stuff in the bag, seal it then turn it upside down and shake it. They haven't opened yet. 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 are loose, they come in a retail package (thin cardboard) with bubble wrap and a plastic bag with a bit of oil on them. Mine were not damaged, the packaging was fine in that respect, but it wasn't anything to keep for storing them.

I don't see why you coudn't. They would keep them dust-free & from getting wrinkled . The plastic bag itself is just a flat bag, no depth until you add something in it.I would not, however, use them for shipping them

Hi, they were packaged very well. There was no leakage in the shipment I received. Hope that helps

I keep them in the ziplock bag they came in just make sure that it stays sealed. It wouldn't hurt to throw onther bag over the first one, the big thing is to make sure they do not dry out

The bags are not made to be resealed. I put my product into food grade 5 gallon buckets with lids. I suppose you could roll the bag down to the product and use something like a potato chip bag clamp, only of larger size to hold it

I have not had one leak yet. I lay these bottles on their sides in my daughters lunchbox.

No, I don't believe they are meant for storage. I take them to the grocery store with me so I don't have to take all those horrible plastic bags that last forever in the landfills. They allow the checker to see what's in the bag and ring it up without removing it from the bag. I love them!

They are. I store a 15 lb. bag of dog food and haven't had any issue. My only complaint is that the shelves on the right side are not very deep, but that is due to the door having shelves as well. I am very happy with this purchase overall. The unit holds a lot. Hope this helps!

I don't currently have a Ziplock Freezer bag on hand for a comparison, I would say that these bags are of the same thickness. I use them all the time for marinating meat and they have never split or punctured or leaked. I will buy them again.

I have only had them for a short time(2 months). The mailed blankets in some and they did not leak. The ones I am currently using have not leaked. I just had one new one rip apart when I tried to close it. The rest I am using are working fine.

They are folded and they shouldn't be. The bags should be rolled. We received ours and you can see daylight through the inside of the bag on the fold. I will be contacting the seller. Don't get me wrong. The bags are good material. They just need to be shipped differently.

No, they are shipped room temp and that is how I keep them, even after I open the bag - just like oatmeal. But the bag is not resealable. I transfer mine into something with a tight lid to keep out insects or moisture.

I don't think the're airtight but the ones I have are defective. The "zip strip" is not attatched to both sides of the bag, so they don't seal at all. I have purchased these big zip bags for a few years now and have some old ones here but these are manufactured wrongly.

No. They will leak if laid on the side. These jugs are not completely airtight.
