I don't know that they're made for real heavy items. The smaller size works great for out of season clothing. These XXL ones I love for bedding...I keep the extra comforter, blanket(s) and a set of sheets in these on the top shelf of the closet in each room. They also work well for extra sets of towels, etc.

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 am unsure about how much weight your weights weigh, but we had these in the garage and had several things on them; moved to another town and had them in a basement again with many shelves, kids play things, exercise equipment etc; moved one more time and didn't need them sold them at a garage sale, they still looked great and got almost what we paid for them.

I have only use the dots with paper. I put a dot on a empty plastic bag and placed it on a wall for a few minutes. It stayed on the wall and came loose without too much trouble, but I don't think they would be strong enough to hold heavier items.

Hello. I'm not completely sure how you mean "pounds", so I'll give you the answers as I'm able. 1- the empty bag weighs 3 - 4 pounds (less than 2 kilograms). I've carried 40 pounds in it but it's more comfortable with 30 pounds or less. 2 - if you mean "pounds" as in cost, it's approximately 35 pounds. Hope that helps.

I use these to ship 4 + pounds of boots with the box in these and have not had any issues. I am sure you could add a lot more weight without any problems. These things are very strong and I have shipped 1,000's of items (from the smallest mailers to the largest) in these and NEVER had the package break. Hope this helps.

Hi, I bought this bag specifically to pack my daughter's stuff after a semester of study abroad. We filled it up to the weight limit (50 lbs, as I recall), and checked it as normal checked luggage. It performed beautifully. Good idea to have one of those luggage scales, because you could easily go beyond the weight limit and that's expensive on International flights. Hope this helps.

I put a lot of stuff in my bags. Cloths lunch rain gear thermos Ect. Probably put between 5 to 7 pounds in each side at times. I think my Rack will fail before these will.

The bags are pretty big for putting into a box unless you folded them and worked them into the size you needed for the box as you were vacuuming out the air. There is nothing about the bag that would make them unsuitable for shipping.... if the vacuum seal gets broken, they will expand to fit the box, but I don't believe that they'd cause the box to explode!

I have had my tote since last October and although I don't haul mine around every day, I don't believe you would pack yours as heavy as I usually have mine and I have had no problem with mine at all. It seems to be made very well and if I decide to purchase another one, I will definitely go with another one of these! Plus, go to the company's website and look for information on their return/replace policies - I'd be willing to bet that they have everything covered as all of the crafting items that we cart around with us are quite heavy! I even stack other binders on top of this one and put the straps over the handle so I don't have to carry those either! I don't think you would be disappointed!!

I have put three cat litter bags in weighing 40 lbs each and have not had a problem transporting, hope this helps!

Sorry, Nathan, I did not use them for moving. I'm using them for storing the plates in my cabinet, to keep them completely dust-free so that I don't have to re-wash my infrequently-used dishes when I actually want to use them. My guess is that during moving you would only need to put a lot of padding around the whole package, sort of like double-boxing fragile items when shipping.

The boxes are recommended for approx 30-40lbs although when the boxes are packed really well and taped properly it can potentially be used to hold more. The boxes have a gross weight capacity of 65lbs which has to do with the box certificate measuring corrugated strength but would not reflect actual holding weight as that would be in the 30-40lb range.

The lowest thing I weighed was 4.9 pounds and the highest was just over 55 pounds, I was trying to keep the bags under 50 pounds each so I never went higher. Not sure how high it will go.

I gave them as a gift. When I unpacked them they seemed very sturdy but I would do a little more research and maybe see if you could contact the manufacturer before purchasing this item.

Sorry, I am just using them for extra clothes. Asking about the weight would probably generate an answer if someone knew more about what you wanted to use them for.

I really don't think these will hold that much weight, but I could be wrong. The only way to know for sure is to try it, but if they break you're out the cost of the units. Good luck!
