Yes they do. I really like these bags because they are just as durable as Food Saver brand but much cheaper. I had tried two other competitor brands before I found these and they were just okay, they weren't as durable or as big as these are. I'm very pleased with this brand and will definitely purchase from them again.

I got 1 order that was smooth on both sides and 1 order that was textured on 1 side.

They have same brand of bags, and the ones we purchased were worthless. We never understood how to use them. Other brands did not work. We returned the sealer and tossed the 6 rolls of "bags", which were basically a piece of plastic doubled over.

I can't answer that questions without knowing what sealer and what bags you got with it. I can say they are not as strong as the major brands but I agree with L. Franks about the second seal. I do recommend this even with the major brands. I have had the same problem with them. As cheap as they are it would be worth the try to make that decision yourself. As far as a ridiculous question I do not agree. No question is a bad question, sometimes more information is needed. Ones gain of knowledge may come in a form that is ridiculous to another.

are you using the foodsaver brand bags? the Weston bags I have a problem with it holding its seal, but the foodsaver brand I've never had an issue with. do you have "quick" seal selected or "normal"? that may make a difference as well. if you are sealing meats, I've sometimes had an issue if liquid from the meat seeps up into the seal area, solved it by putting in a ziplock first, then the Foodsaver bag, then sealing as normal. hope this helps somewhat!

We have a FoodSaver vacuum sealer and use these bags without issue. With the amount of bag you are forced to sacrifice between the vacuum and the sealer bar, its more like 1.5 cup useful capacity rather than a pint.

Do you mean the Foodsaver bags or the Foodsaver sealing machine? Don't know about the Foodsaver machine, but I would not recommend using the Foodsaver bags with the sous vide machine. Although the plastic used in the Foodsaver bags is supposedly a high quality plastic that shouldn't leach chemicals, the Foodsaver bags appear to be too thin to stand up to use in the sous vide machine. When we tried using a Foodsaver bag in the sous vide, the bag fell apart. So there is a reason why the bags that come with the sous vide machine are made with a thicker plastic.

I have a Rival vacuum sealer and I really like the bags. I've used the sealer bags where you cut the bags to the desired length and seal both ends. These eliminate the extra step.

I have a Food Saver vacuum sealer and found that these bags work as well as the "Food Saver" branded bags at a fraction of the cost. I'll buy more of these when my supply runs low.

I have a foodsaver appliance and these bags work just fine. I have been using them for 2 years now with no complaint.

I just ordered these bags and like you, I use a different brand sealer. I vacuumed sealed about 5 items of which two of them did not work the next day...

Yes. These bags will work with all standard vacuum sealer machines (like Foodsaver, Weston, Cabela's. Seal-A-Meal, VacMaster...).They are a universal bag and a great value!

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 don't have experience using foodsaver accessories with my MaxVac, but that doesn't mean they won't work. I have used FoodSaver bags! I would purchase the vacuum hose accessory offered through LEM if you plan on sealing canisters. If the FoodSaver hose fits, try it out! Either way, I'm very pleased with my MaxVac and would not hesitate to recommend it!

If your asking the thickness of the plastic itself, I don't know but I can say it's slightly thinner than the "Food saver" brand and I have not had one bag not seal correctly and I'm on my 3rd roll. I have found with the store bought FS brand, I had several times it wouldn't seal and the white strip on it sticks to my heating element. These rolls do not have that white strip. As for the size of the full roll, 5"-6" (They won't fit in the small compartment your food sealer has until you use most of it). I love these bags and I plan to order more.

Not sure of the question, but I have sealed everything up to and including ham shoulders. It is a good food saver. For replacement bags, I ordered directly off of ebay, 400 8x12 quart size for $70. I also have used the roll type, and havent had any issues yet. Hope it helps.

I tried the food saver bags today and was very disappointed with their inability to get all of the air out of the bag.. Is it because I have a Cabela's vacuum sealer and not a food saver? The Cabela's bags are smooth on both sides where yours are dimpled on side and smooth the opposite side..

This is my second Foodsaver, an upgrade from my first one bought via infomercial. It's fabulous. I've used the first one to seal other types of bags, but I have not tried it with the new one. However, I can tell you that you can seal without using the vacuum function first. So it will probably work just fine.
