READ THE FREE BUT SHORT VERSION? JUST BUY THEM - THESE ARE THE BEST VACUUM PACKS EVER MADE! NEVER LEAKS AND THE QUALITY ALLOWS YOU TO USE THEM AGAIN! I am amazed at their durability! I used them for long term item storage and 8 months later? NO LEAK - they all look exactly the same as the day I boxed them! Although I didn't buy them to reuse when traveling or moving house, I ended up using them a lot! Within 9 months I had to perform several minor surgeries. Because my retired parents know that my husband is an excellent watchdog, they also know that he is a very busy financial planner/consultant! When they wanted me to stay they thought it was a great idea! Then they realized that I was so picky about my linens that I had to bring "queen" size sheets! Thought I'd use a few of them to try them out! While I don't think this size is advertised for large beds, I decided to see what they might hold up. I took king size pillows, king size sheets, duvet covers and more to my parents house and they held up with no problem! When packing, I turn items with zippers, metal buttons, etc. inside out so they don't rub against the plastic. ! But, it really is as "cautious" as I am! One bag contained a pair of NorthFace winter pants, a down jacket and a fleece jacket, then a thick Patagonia jacket, oversized sweatpants, a fluffy scarf, gloves and 2 warm hats! These bags have accompanied me on 3 different trips - packed, unpacked, then repacked and unpacked back home each time! None of them have ever leaked and they were just as easy to grab last time as they were the first time! My mom ordered several after seeing how durable they are! I reorganized my linen closet without using vacuum bag storage plans as ALL branded storage bags have let me down! Each lasted anywhere from a few weeks to a few months? Even if they worked, the plastic used is not strong enough for more than one use! But a friend said she used this brand and liked them, so I bought a size small to try! The thick plastic allowed me to "sculpt" things while sucking out the air. I put a king-size bedspread in one pocket and a protective king-size mattress pad in the other. It was easy for me to shape them to fit 13 inch square baskets! After they were on the top shelf he almost removed 2 of the more accessible shelves! I now order larger sizes for larger duvets, European pillows, etc! I happened to find some pretty baskets and coordinating boxes for sale, 2 hold these king size items. I was planning on using them all to "hide" the items in the vacuum bags, but I wasn't planning on fitting that many things into 2! So I put sheets and towels in others. This is obviously a popular article as my 25 year old niece said my linen closet is becoming "Pinterest worthy" - haha!
