These bags have a sturdy base to offer which allows them to stand erect without any additional support. The stand-up zip lock bags are used to store snacks, powdered food, nuts, spices and stuff like that.

These bags are our favorite and here’s why: sandwich bags are specially designed to store sandwiches, wraps, subs, paninis, etc. These bags are super handy for storing deli items and other snacks. And the best part? It’s totally safe for food to come in contact with such bags.
5. Anti-static bags:

These bags are produced to store electronic items and it’s always a great idea to use bags for their specified purposes as these anti-static bags protect the electronic items against electrostatic discharge (ESD). They come in both open and closable formats.
6. Gallon-sized bags:
As it’s evident from the name; gallon-sized bags are bigger than zip lock bags that are regularly used. These bags are best for storing big sizes of food items and even whole chickens, pumpkins, etc.
7. Pinch double seal bags:

These bags offer a conventional method to seal them, unlike the slider bags. Nonetheless, they do the job well by making the bags airtight and allowing you to keep your food safe and secure.
In short, zip lock bags are one of the best inventions when it comes to storing food and one should make the most of them while also ensuring that they are purchasing from brands that are mindful of the environmental impact of such products.
