What mil thickness are the bags? (To allow comparison with the bags we currently use - which are rated at 0.92 mil)

I don't know exactly how thick they are but I have been using the for 6 months and I have never had one tear.

I can't verify the information, but 12 micron (as reported by Diane M) is equal to 0.47 mil (0.012mm = 0.00047 inches)

They unfortunately are not labeled. But if you have tried DogiPot bags or Earth-Rated poop bags, I think they are as thick or thicker than either of those.--UPDATE: I found it: 12 micron thickness--not sure how that compares to "mil" measurements, though.

I haven't measured but I would think the difference would be minimal. We had trouble with these bags not holding a vacuum after we sealed them. I wasn't too impressed.

Yes....as opposed to BioBags which are .8 mil thickness, these are 1.0 which makes a big difference in how long you can go without it leaking or tearing.

I didn't see a thickness on the box...they feel pretty flimsy, but they are still much stronger than the bags I used to use...which was Doggie pot.

I measured the bags at 17.5 inches in length, so barely. However they are a great heavy weight plastic and I'm nearly ready to order more! ;-)

These bags are pretty darn thin, they get torn easily before they are even used. Much thinner than any bags I get in the mail at least by half or more thinner... So if you use them make sure there is a layer of bubble wrap or box to protect what ever your shipping. I would not agree they are good quality....

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.

They are about the thickness of your normal store bought bread bags. They work great for my bread making and I have not had any problems with them.

I don't know the exact thickness. They are not tissue paper thin. They seem pretty sturdy and well constructed. The zip closure seals tightly, but does slightly limit the effective size. For medium sized items, they are a good value.

Almost the same, but thicker. You get several bags in the package. Each is 12x24 and flat (about 0.5 inch). When they absorb water, they 'inflate'; some can get up to 3 - 4 inches thick. They stay approximately 12x24 when they absorb, though they might lose up to an inch in each direction as the thickness increases.

I am not sure exactly how thick but definitely a much higher quality bag than the rolls of food saver backs i used to buy at Sams Club. You won't be dissappointed trust me, i won't buy any other bags now and i process over 500 pounds of venison each year. Great product.

Our Eco Mattress Bag is 2.2 Mil, Non Vented ( meaning no holes) and is the thickest American Made Mattress Wrap on the market. Most bags are 1.8 and 2.0. We designed our bags at 2.2 to take the rigors of moving, storing and of course bed bug protection. Please let us know if you have any additional questions! Thanks

The bags I purchased were DVC Brand and are three ply. They do not look like typical "fabric" bags, but of a composition (similar to the underside of some mattress pads). We have mild allergies to dust and animal dander in our household. From my experience, these bags perform as well as the ones I've purchased from the Sears store for only a fraction of the cost. The bags work well with holding in the vacuumed dust and dirt. I have never had any problems with them and I would definitely buy them again. I've also purchased the pleated rectangle filters that fit on the back of the upright and they fit and work as well. Hope this helps.

I have been using these for about 6 months. Much less expensive than the Food Saver bags. And the size is good for 2 people. By feel, I think they are the same thickness. I have not had any problems with them.

I have not used them in that way, but I can say they are the heaviest bags I have yet found, really good quality! Hope this helps!

Not sure of the exact thickness. At least as thick as a regular plastic shopping bag. I have never had issues with them ripping or tearing.

Not sure of the exact ply, but they are very strong and in 8 years of using them I have never had a bag leak!
