These bags feel thicker and more durable than other vacuum sealer bags that I have bought in the past, even other bags which claimed to be 4 MIL. They work really well with my vacuum sealer. I am able to suction all the air out and get a strong seal, which holds, on the ends. I like the width of these bags. It is just right for vacuum sealing things like steak and chicken breasts, without wasted space. I like to buy meats in bulk and freeze for individual thawing or even sous vide, directly from the freezer. The bags hold up well in the sous vide and maintain their seal, which is important if I’m including marinades in the bag. I like that they are BPA free for safety. They are good quality and I would buy them again.
