How is the resealable bag opened? I tried to figure it out but eventually had to cut the bag open.

There is a zip strip at the top on the front side of the bag. To be honest I cut mine open too and then found the opening.

The ziploc opening is about an inch down from the top. It is only on the front side of the bag and it does not go all the way to either side of the bag.

Just below the top edge is where the resealable part is. There is a curved place to press on to begin the process, then you pull the front and back of the bag apart. I hope I made that clear enough! It is difficult to explain, easier to show. It really is resealable!

My protein came in a large foil "resealable" pouch within a very sturdy Box. I found the resealable grooves difficult to use as the protein powder would get on them. My simple solution was to put the resealable bag in a large resealable zip loc bag when it became small enough to fit. Another brand I have tried uses a large plastic container with a screw on lid which was useful in my garage to put extra nails, screws etc. But I believe this to be a little better product.

You don't have to cut it its just sealed extremely tight, the first time is difficult to open but it works perfectly afterwards :)

The bags are not made to be resealed. I put my product into food grade 5 gallon buckets with lids. I suppose you could roll the bag down to the product and use something like a potato chip bag clamp, only of larger size to hold it

I simply re-seal the original bag with my foodsaver. You can't vac-pack it since the material has no texture but you just need to remove as much air as possible and seal the bag. Works great!

I would place the opened bag in a sealed Ball or Kerr jar in a pantry. If you have an oxygen absorber i suppose that would be good too. Thank you.

Please do not cut it. The top of the enclosure separates like a zip lock bag. Make sure it is unrolled and you should be able to open it.

It is in a plastic bag, after you open it it will not be sealed again, I twist and wrap with rubber band

I just bought a small bag to try it out. It came in a reseable plastic bag which i transferred the contents to a glass sealed jar.

A hot iron works great. Place the end of the bag on a flat surface, we used a wooden cutting board, make sure it is smooth and run the iron over it. Seals easily.

hehe after using it for a cpl of months now, i figured it out! initially when i heard the bag was self-sealing, i thought i couldn't look into it once i pulled it out:)

It is not resealable. I have a vacuum sealer, so I put what I was going to use in a jar and resealed the rest in vacuum bag. You can freeze it after opening in a regular ziplock too.

Unfortunately, the bag is not resealable. I simple repacked it into an old PB2 bottle than used a family member's bag sealer machine to store the rest. I think its shelf life will aide it to last a few months as long as you don't introduce it to moisture. I have stored it in the pantry for a few months in mason jars and it was fine by me. :)

We did the same thing, but I can't remember for sure. I think my husband knocked it apart with his hand and then redid it. Also you will find it helpful to put something heavy in the bottom of it before you put the bag in. This will help as an aid when you go to remove the bag.

The bag cutter inside is a blade on a rail that you operate by hand. There is a lever on the right side that you lock down after you position the bag for sealing. You can walk away at that point and the machine vacuums out the air, seals, and stops. The sealed bag is still clamped in position by the lever until you release it.

cut the plastic to size> seal one end with the heat seal to form a bottom> fill the bag with food and seal and vacuum to close
