Are these bags easy to open? I am having a hard time opening the ones I have now.

They are hard to open, it takesa little work to get them open when you need them. Bob Lounsbury

yes their OK the only problem I had was the bag holder very cheaply made I like my original holder but these bags don't have a spindal in the middle so I cant use it

Yes they are pretty easy (as long as you're not trying to open the wrong end). I am now on my second box/order of these bags and will continue order as needed. Out of 2000 bags the only problem I've had is about 3 bags have not torn apart easy and a small hole will be in the bottom. But it's easy to see before you use it. Never had a problem other wise.

I don't think so, they're like opening a plastic bag in the produce section of the grocery store

Pretty easy, sometimes you need to squeeze between your fingers. Just like you do with bags for fruit at the local store. If its a cold winter night I'd suggest checking bag before heading out.

Yes it is ridiculous how hard these are to open. I will not order them again. For the ones I still have, i flip them over and use a can opener to open them. Thats the only thing I could find to do with them.These cannot be opened like a normal paint can, at least not the batch I have. The metal is soft and it breaks, you can't get any leverage to pry it open.

I did not find them difficult to open at all. There is enough space between the rows to access the individual containers.

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.

The bags I have stay sealed. What I do is put stuff in the bag, seal it then turn it upside down and shake it. They haven't opened yet. Hope this helps.

At first I agreeded that the containers were even to hard for me to open! After week of using ,washing and opening they did get much easier to open and afer that little ones should be able to open them. They are perfect size for salad dressing.

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!

Well..I usually dampen my fingers prior torubbing them to open the bag. 99% of thetime one try and the bag is open. Hope thishelps.

They are quite easy to open, hold the top and pull the bottom. But be warned the allow flies in.

They are 'floppy'; Not sure of your preference, but these bags RULE! I got some others previous to these but wasn't happy - my search ended when I got these!

Just take the bottom and top half and twist. It can be kind of difficult to open, I still struggle with mine.

Hummmm...I'm not sure how you're trying to open them if it's causing difficulty. If you use a flat head screwdriver, and pry all around the can, like a pain can, it should pop right off. I'm sorry, I don't have any other suggestions, if you were opening it as I mentioned :-( Good luck!

They are very easy to open and seal. They seal really tight also. They don't come attached to that board as the picture shows either. They come connected at the tab so that two bags are attached together at the opening. It's more convenient that way also because it keeps them organized. Hope this answers your question. I have bought them again so that tells you I find them very good quality.

They are very stiff when you first get them. Just keep wiggling them open and then when they do open, just open and close them a few times to loosen them up. If they are really too stiff to open, then wedge something between the handles and twist a little bit to get it started. If still no luck, then find a coin, or a large flat head screwdriver and loosen the flat screw in the center a few millimeters.

I had the same problem. You have to pull the silver handle up REAL hard the first time. After that they open easy! Good Luck!

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.

somewhat difficult. They stick together and I have to moisten my fingers like when opening a newspaper, but then they open easily. Other than that they are excellent - no leaks as they have no holes in the bottom. Maybe you could open a weekly supply for her and store them in one bag?
