SnapBags are design to seal tight. On the top of the bracket there are 2 latches that open and close in opposite direction. Be sure to hear the snap when properly closed. They can be used just as you would other plastic zip lock bags, in the pantry, refrigerator and freezer. The bags can also be used in the microwave.
