Extra Thick Zip lock bags

[VicParticipant @vic]

Anyone know where to get them? I’ve ordered what were described as such on eBay but they turned out not to be any thicker than standard ones. The last of my good ones seem to be made of 0.15mm plastic. Standard ones are less than half this. I’m after bags about 125mm x 90 and maybe some a bit bigger. TIA.

We use some IKEA zip locks as wipeable and reusable, mainly for freezer use. They come in boxes with two different sizes, very durable and the zip lock continues to work not like some.

Have you looked at zip seal food storage bags in Supermarkets?

Yes, we use those a lot in all sizes. Sadly they don’t sell small bags.

Kite Packaging do 75 micron and Rajapack 90 micron.

I’ve found 120 micron but not in the sizes I need.

I think you will struggle to find anything in 150 micron these days

… the eco-warriors frown on such extravagance

Beware: some of the advertisers seem to be quoting ‘thickness’ as the double-film of a bag

The Diving suppliers sound the best bet so far.
