Quality is good for long term storage100 pcs is a great value compared to the "name brand" super expensive comparable bags or rolls. The quality of the bag was excellent. I am very pleased with this purchase!The vacuum bags are sturdy, economical, and will keep patterns from getting any moisture inside, and because once the air is vacuum out the pattern will weigh less thus saving on postage.I am new to the world of vacuum sealing, so please take that into account with regard to my review. That being said, I like these rolls of sealing material. My machine came with several bags that worked great, but they were not all exactly the right size for my various jobs. This set of bag material has more variety of sizes, plus being able to cut them to size makes them even more customizable; they're also a lot less expensive than the equivalent amount of individual bags (for my uses).I cut a piece of material to the size that I needed (the contents filling about 2/3 of the bag). I put one end into my machine and used the "seal" setting to close the end. I filled the bag, put it in the vacuum sealer, sucked out the air and sealed it...it worked perfectly (I have a temperamental machine, so it took a couple of tries, but that's more my model than the bags). The one thing I found out quickly is that you have to be careful to cut them very straight; if there's too much of an angle, it won't fit properly in the little vacuum heads of the machine (this differs from the bags that are pre-cut and already quite straight, and this was the learning curve I had to deal with).I generally freeze meat because I buy it in large packages (making it less expensive) and use small amounts at each meal. I was able to freeze the meat easily with this, and it remained sealed until I needed it. I could do this with regular bags, though. Where these really stood out was small serving items. For example, I bought a box of frozen eggrolls...we only eat one each at a meal, maybe twice/month, and they tend to get freezer-burned in between; with these, I was able to cut perfectly sized bags to hold two eggrolls in each (so they're good for small serving sizes), which uses less material and saves money.I would definitely order these again. The only thing I don't love is the hassle of making sure that they're cut very straight, but I learned to use my cutting board edge as a guide, which helped make it faster.I got these as replacement bags since I was almost out of the ones my sealer came with. They work great! I’ve also used the sealer to make little pockets and seal fresh herbs in 1 tablespoon amounts so I can pull basil and rosemary out for recipes and that has been really handy!I got this because it has two rolls of 8” which is what I needed the most so this was perfect for me.When I first got this I use my saran plastic wrap cutter to cut the bags, which did not cut so well but it did the job. It was better than individually cutting the bags with scissors.Since then I purchased a large 8” roll that has a cutter and have been using that instead.I purchased a vacuum sealer along with these bags to help clean up/organize my refrigerator and box freezer. The different sizes helped a lot to sort out various things.Using a vacuum sealer allow me to buy things in bulk without having to worry about food getting spoiled too quickly especially since I usually only go to Costco, Bj’s, and Sam’s club.I have used these bags for nuts, meat, fishes, fruits etc. They held up very well and can probably be reused but I have not test that out yet.If you just started with vacuum sealing, this would be a great starter sealer bags!While the headline says that the bags are 6"x10", the description says "Easy to use: this bag rolls allow you to cut any size," making it sound like a roll of bags that you have to cut and seal to size. These actually come as a stack of individual bags.The advantage of pre-made bags is that they are faster and easier to use but the disadvantage is that their size may not fit your needs. So I resolve this by getting a lot of different sizes. A hundred of this size should last a while since being only 6" wide may limit their usefulnessAs the picture shows, it's only wide enough for 2-3 cookies but that can be offset somewhat by being 10: long - perfect for long, narrow foods or something like a couple of stacks of cookies. And you still have the ability to seal the bag closer to the food and cut off the excess if you wish. I usually just fold any excess to the back.The bags seem high quality and work fine with my sealing machines.We buy several items at our local membership warehouse. Many of the food items are too much for just the two of us. Vacuum sealing to the rescue.Yesterday we got 4 big steaks at the club. One is enough for the two of us at one meal. We simply used these bags with our vacuum sealer and sealed each steak by itself and froze it for later. We write the date on the package and have eaten meat 1 year after vacuum sealing and freezing.We are happy to have these.
