I just opened these up, they seem to be perforated with lots of organized tiny holes.. is this ok?

I took a look at the filters I bought and couldn't find any kind of holes throughout the filter, not even tiny ones. You might want to post a picture for people to compare. In any case, the filters are supposed to stop tiny particles of dirt. Any holes will defeat the purpose.

They have been very effective in our house. I buy them by the case to save a few $$. They should be a fiberous mat with a wire backer. Holes are made by the machine that folds it but should not be large more like tiny pin holes and not big enough for dust to pass through.

Not holes in my clothes but they marked up the inside of my brand new dryer. the dryer is not steel/aluminum, it is painted white. after using these dryer balls one time, it looks like I but a bunch of rocks in my dryer and turned it on. black marks everywhere. I was so disappointed. it wouldn't be a big deal if the dryer wasn't brand new. I can totally see where they could put holes in your clothes. the spines are way too sharp. I would advise against using these as they can be dangerous to your dryer and your clothes, it sounds like.

I don't know. I actually fixed my issue with the cases with a small piece of sticky backed velcro. Tightened the case up and all of the holes line up now. I THINK they just sewed them a tad loose. The rest of the gadgets are OK. Starter set of chargers and other handy items.

I did. I wasn't sure whether or not the holes should be in the very bottom or where the punched in area is. I bought two containers so did one each way.

They are not holes. They are a raised spot in the lid. I thought the same things when I saw them. They work great!

The solution is already in them. It comes with a stick to use to perforate the 4 covered holes on the top. This product worked very well for me.

Mine were sealed and in great condition. You should return them as damaged.

Yes, there are holes in the bottoms, but they are BIG, like I can fit my pinky finger in there no problem. But they are not hollow, it's like you could put them on top of a big pencil. Hope this helps! I could see these drying really easily with no mold!

There's a perforated line. You just fold on the line and rip, it's easy and comes out nice. They're thick enough that they don't tear awkwardly as long as you fold it before you tear.

You have to tear them from the roll. They are perforated and very easy to tear.

No, they are not perforated, it is put together like a traditional marble compostion notebook.

First you cut a hole using the template enclosed. It is up to you to space them correctly, but if you put the center of template at the places you have marked for holes they look great. I used a chalk dot on the spots I wanted. Then you put 1/2 of grommet pair (the side with the rim) on bottom of hole. It is a little snug, but it will be OK. Then you put the other 1/2 over it and press down with the palm of your hand. Done. After you do one you will realize how incredibly easy it is and begin to think of other ways to use them!

It come as a sheet and I think they are somewhat perforated, but I ended up using a round cookie/biscuit cutter to cut them out.

The holes are not punched out all the way, therefor no mess to clean up. So you only need to flatten them to reuse.

I am not finding this a problem. I think all plastic bags are a bit difficult to open by the nature of what they are made of which makes them stick together. I don't think these are any worse than the average.
