Ziploc Gallon Freezer Bags, Stay Open Design (60 count)
Easy to fill gallon freezer bags that guard against freezer burn; seams can be inconsistent.
The short version
- Batch cooks and anyone who freezes meat in bulk
- People who find it awkward to hold a bag open while filling
- Households that want a widely available, standard gallon freezer bag
- You mostly freeze soups and liquids and want the most leak-resistant closure
- You want to cut single-use plastic with reusable silicone bags
- Lowest cost per bag matters most
What owners like
- Little or no freezer burn over normal freezer storage
- Stand-up bottom makes filling easier

- Seal holds even when the zipper is wet
Common complaints

What it does
A 60-count box of gallon size Ziploc freezer bags with a double seal zipper and a stand-up bottom that holds the bag open while filling, now sold as the Stay Open Design version.
- Stand-up bottom keeps the bag upright and open while filling, which cuts spills
- Double zipper seal with a textured grip for closing
- Marketed with Ziploc's 9 Point Protection claims for durability
- Gallon size suits roasts, batch cooked meals and bulk meat
- Sold in several box sizes besides 60 count
A dependable choice for batch cooking and freezing meat or leftovers, and the stand-up bottom makes filling easier than a flat bag. Freezer burn protection gets good marks, but one editorial test of Ziploc's Grip n' Seal freezer bags found seam defects and bags that split when dropped. Buyers who freeze liquids often may want a slider bag or a reusable silicone bag.
