How do you open the bags? When I rip one off the roll it takes me forever to open it!

The Glad bags I have are folded together, not in a roll, and open easily. I also have Hefty bags in a roll. When I rip one off, I first unfold bad to its full width, lick index finger and thumb, grip the unsealed end and slide each finger in a different direction. Hope it helps.

Moisten your forefinger and thumb. This creates a resistive surface between the two. Put the end of the bag between the finger and thumb and rub the finger and thumb together. This should start the bag to open on the end. If not, you are on the wrong end and then turn the bag to the other end and try it again. Sounds like a lot of work but it's not. Be patient, it does work. Good luck.

I place the bag between my hands and rub my hands back and forth , that always get the side to separate from each other .

Just take the bag at the top and put it between your hands and rub vigorously back and forth until the bag opens.

They tear away from the roll easily, but I find I have to lick my fingers (everytime), to open them...not a big deal. For the price and amount, they're great bags. And they're incredibly durable.

It's kind of a pain, and you have to have patience. You grab each end rotating them inward until they form a circle and put it in the bag. I struggle with this everytime.

Idk. I've been having trouble with mine. The bags aren't holding a seal. They must have holes and I only used them once.

To get the small bags to work you: 1.Pack your clothing (It does work better if you don't over fill), 2.Then close the zipper, Then I slightly opened the zipper in a corner and continued with Step 3. Roll out the air. I think by just slightly opening the zipper in 1 spot a one-way air valve is created because my clothes compressed just fine. It was super easy to use and didn't refill with air. And I have been able to reuse the bags with no problems.

I had the same problem. This is not normal for this bag. I crumpled the end and then they easily came apart. They must have had trouble with their machinerry. Bags are NOT produced by Amazon. If you ask for a refund, they cheerfully will do it.

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.

There is a cutter with the machine. Lay the roll in the top where indicated in the manual; then lift up a plastic bar before cutting & pull out the roll to how long you need. Fold down the plastic bar & put light pressure on it to hold the sheet where you want it. Slide the cutter across and voila! You have a nice clean cut. The only annoyance I've discovered when doing the vacuum sealing is sometimes if the food inside is a little heavy or bulky, I have to slightly raise up the bag where the food is to get the vacuum to work (there is a cancel button in case you need to cancel). There are very good directions in the manual...with a little practice you'll be a pro in no time.

Sorry you are having trouble. This is what I do. I put down several pieces of paper towels on my counter. Set the Cans on it. I then take a straight slot screwdriver and go under the lip of the cans use it a lever. I don't open the cans all the way just enough so it pops the lid up. Then I hold the top of the can closed with a couple of fingers and shake to activate the gel. Then I take the screwdriver again and just barely have to use it to finish opening the cans. Light and enjoy!

I used the rolls for a while, but found them too wide. Since I reuse the bags, carefully cutting off the sealed portion and washing out the bags and letting them air dry, the larger the bag the better for me. I have used some bags four or five times each. The smaller bags can be reused also, but what you store in them has to also be smaller and smaller items. So, take your pick! (My machine is an old one, and not as convenient for use on rolls, BTW.)

No, you just open the flap at the top and pull them out one at a time. There are two halves inside the box of 105 each. You can easily pull one bag off at a time but sometimes you get two. It's pretty easy to get them out. We love them and they are very inexpensive. We full time RV and use them for our four dogs.

I did exactly that. I used half a roll and saved the other half by sealing it in a Foodsaver vacuum bag. Unfortunately, it is still in that vacuum bag, so I can't report on whether the second half is useable.

You twist them (to the left I think). I had trouble with one of mine and had to twist and pull quite a bit before it popped open. Tricky little suckers.

Sorry it took me so long to answer...we were out of town for a few days.The FoodSaver has an auto cutter. Lift the cutter (it has a gray slider on one side), place the roll in the "bin", unroll to desired length, and replace the cutter on top of where the cut will be. I hold the cutter down on one side and slide the gray slider across. Easy-peasy!

The bags have no air in them. Just open it and enjoy. The powder will be soft.

Turn them straight up and down, then use a small flathead screwdriver to pry it out the first time. I had to use needle nose players to even turn them the first time. After that it opens fine.
