Are these "Ziploc Gallon Freezer Bags with Double Zipper 152 bags" actually freeze bags, or Storage bags?

They're double the thickness of storage bags, so they do well in the freezer, but leave anything in the freezer long enough, they'll still freezer burn.

R.StoneAs far as I can tell these are Freezer Bags and they work well for our family. I buy storage bags which are not as thick as these and not as durable either. It is seldom that we put the item in the bag without wrapping it in either foil, wax paper or plastic film. That last step eliminates most of any freezer burn and have not had any so far. Just out of curiosity, why do you ask? John

Yes, these are the freezer bags, not the storage bags. I have ordered these twice and my most recent order arrived as freezer bags as well.

They say Double Zipper Gallon Storage bags, we wrap our stuff in foil and put into these bags and meat and chicken does not get any freezer burn and last longer

They work great for freezing; that's mostly what I use them for. I have reused a few bags for dry goods, a couple times, with no issues yet. Most of my bags are used for uncooked foods, and I have not reused those. So far the system has worked well, with no apparent problems.

These containers appear to be polycarbonate or PETG plastic. They use what appears to be a silicone seal. They should be safe for the refrigerator and freezer. However, I really do not see the point of using them in the freezer. These were designed to seal air from shelf-stable food. A freezer is designed to extend the life of decomposing foods. I would wrap meat or cheese in tin foil and place it in the freezer. I would use the OXO containers for pet food, snacks, candy, rice, beans, or other dry foods. We purchased these with the square buttions and then OXO changed the square buttons to the PET line and manufactured the same units with round buttons for consumers. We still use the square button models for people food. No problems on any of them yet.

Yes. Take caution in shuffling around in the freezer as other frozen items will pop this bag. These work great but I would imagine a vacuum seal would be better for a long term freeze (more than a month).

I don't know - I've never tried to use regular ziplocks. I considered trying them out to see how it would go, but decided against it. The sealer uses heat to seal the bags, and the ones used for the Sealer System are much thicker material. *If* the sealer's heat is too much for the regular ziplocks then I'd have a mess on my hands cleaning up the melted plastic. Better to stick with the bags they recommend - which are far sturdier than any of the regular ziplocks, including the heavy freezer bags.

Most definitely! That's all I use. These bags are great! I bought 12-15 boxes to get price per bag down. I love them, no more freezer burn.

Yes, I believe they are. The bags are very strong and they seal, however they are very, very large. Unless you are packing away thanksgiving leftovers, you might find them too big. I used them for other reasons, ( wet clothes in Antarctica ) and they were very durable.

The bags have a Ziploc type top. You then vacuum out the air. It works great for me, but I have had one bag that would not vacuum seal. Probably a tiny hole in it some where. Figured it was a factory defect which will happen.

The bag has a ziploc seal, but they stapled their cardboard sign to the bag so it has holes in it. I had to store them in another bag. The last bag I had lasted three years. Same as you 2 or 3 at a time. Even if they dry up, just put some water on them and they will still work .

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!

Yes! The bags hold for enough for the freezer, I have frozen almost anything on the bags.

Yes, they are ideal fir freezing. I have used them for two years nearly and I freeze most of the food I bag.

I have not used them on freezer bags, so I would prefer not to say one way or the other.

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.

The ones I received are very tough. They are more like a "freezer" strength bag rather than the flimsy sandwich or regular type ziploc bag. I use them for delicate supplements when traveling but have used them for many other items including jewelry.

I have not used them for storage. I used them shopping at farmer's market then transfer to those green bags for storage.

I never have used them bags myself. I would recommend calling L.E.M.at 1-877-536-7763 for that answer.for freezer bags it is the best I have used and I have went through several.
