Category: Home > Food storage bags and wrap. Updated 2026-10-08. Based on 141 counted first-hand reports from Target shopper reviews, Sep 2020 to Aug 2026.

**Question:** Which food storage bags don't leak?

**Short answer:** Glad Press'n Seal Wrap has the best record at 19 of 19, but it's a cling wrap for covering bowls and plates, not a bag. Among bags, Ziploc Freezer Bags come first at 20 of 22, ahead of Ziploc Sandwich Bags (18 of 20) and Ziploc Storage Bags (17 of 20).

**What stands out:** Reviews copied from Ziploc's own site are much harsher than Target's: 0 of 7 for the freezer bags. We show those but don't count them.

## Questions

**Which food storage bags don't leak?**

Of the bags here, Ziploc Freezer Bags come out ahead at 20 of 22, then Ziploc Sandwich Bags (18 of 20) and Ziploc Storage Bags (17 of 20). Glad Press'n Seal Wrap has the best record overall (19 of 19), but it's a wrap, not a bag.

**Are Ziploc freezer bags better than storage bags for liquids?**

Both did well with shoppers, and the freezer bags edge ahead at 20 of 22 against 17 of 20. Freezer bags are made of thicker plastic, and 22% of their reviews praise them in the freezer.

**Can Press'n Seal replace a freezer bag?**

Not for liquids. It seals bowls and plates well for shoppers, and 6% praise it in the freezer, but it's a wrap. For soup, marinade or anything that can tip over, use a zipper bag.

**How do I stop a zipper bag from leaking?**

Press out the air, run a finger along the whole zipper, and freeze bags of liquid flat. For marinades, double-bagging helps if the plastic is thin, a complaint in 8% of sandwich bag reviews.
