Thread: Vacuum Bags

Has anyone used Temu's cheap vac bag film? Looking for a cheaper option.

Not their vac bags but I bought a selection of sizes of their bin liners bags.
One lot, I use in a small rubbish bin in my gun room. It ended up with rags from barrel cleaning in it, wet with solvent. When I came to remove it from the bin, it fell apart.
The larger ones appear to be OK in another bin at this stage.

I've now bought 3 times from Temu. Quality success rate is about 75% but that's OK given some of the stuff I bought was only around 5 bucks. Bought a pencil sharpener ($2.68) for flat builder's pencils - not successful. Back to using a chisel or Stanley knife. Bought a car sig lighter plug-in device ($4.48) which displays voltage and has USB outlets - destroys my FM reception but OK on AM.

I perceive there is a lot of rubbish on their website.

Packaging is abysmal. OK for items like plastic bags. Everything be it flat or round square or pointy is thrown in one bag. Comes via an Auckland address. Still, postage is free so you take what ya gets.

With the vac bags they could be good but you may not know until you haul the pack out of the freezer after some time and the bag has deteriorated.
I may give those ones a go though for my vac sealer.

kmart vac pack bags seem to work OK at least for fish.

I've been using rolls from the Warehouse which look similar, but I've noticed about 10% have failed over time. Sometimes it pays not to go too cheap. Back to Russell Hobbs rolls for me. I stock up when Briscoes have one of their ridiculous "sales".

I got my last lot from dunninghams, not any cheaper but no failures either

we use warehouse ones....

Greetings from Nelson.

I use a SHIT LOAD of vacuum sealer bags. I used to use the rolls but honestly am just too lazy to make the bags - I generally keep one roll for the odd weird sized thing I want to vac-pac. Anyway...I have recently changed to using the Temu ones, as you're right, they are cheaper and Temu is bloody good to deal with. I previously religiously used Ali Express but get annoyed at the glacial speed that they ship and the time it takes for refunds if there's a nuts-up (I will say I have NEVER EVER been burned by Ali though and regularly get stuff off them - just read the ads and specs etc. CAREFULLY!)

Back to your question (but not too sure what you're referring to when you write "film"?)...But the Temu bags are as good as any and I have just bought another 50. I'll send ya ten for free if you want a sample :-)

PM me your deets if you do.

Cheers.
