A sturdy construction is important, but so are features that make it easy to use. That includes a flat profile that makes it easy to stack, a wide mouth that's big enough for thick foods like tomato sauce or frozen chicken soup, and a smooth zip-top closure that doesn't get stuck when you're opening the bag. A strong, tough side seam and a tight seal also helps prevent leaks and spills.

Some reusable bags have a gusset or wedge shape that's helpful for holding items upright, but they can be harder to clean because of the creased surfaces and corners. They can also be prone to losing their shape and sticking together, and they're not always completely leakproof with liquids like tomatoes or turmeric. If you choose a bag with these attributes, we recommend occasionally wiping down the inside tracks with cooking oil to help it last longer.
