I am beyond frustrated with this crap.
I've had a Food Saver sealer for years and their brand of film was fine until a couple years ago when EVERY damn roll I get has wrinkles in it and the closer you get to the end of the roll the worse it is creased, to the point where several vacuums will fail in the freezer within weeks. It is really not cost effective to try and buy things on sale in bulk and freeze for later if I am burning through expensive sealing film and having to either reseal or use the stuff I am trying to stash away.
I have tried Seal-a-Meal brand also...same results. Looks to be made in the same factory honestly.

Anybody, somebody...Help???!!!

No issues with creasing in the rolls?

Buy the bags pre-made, I've been noticing the same thing with the rolls.

I have been using Wevac in the 150 ft. rolls with good luck, and no wrinkles.

I have a Food Saver, but I rarely use the rolls, though I don't recall having an issue with them. I've had the same rolls for a good while, though.

This would be my answer too. I have been through most of a box (5 or 6 rolls) and haven't had a problem.

I buy vacuum sealer film about every 3 years and just about to make an order. I look on Amazon and buy what every rolls are the cheapest deal.

I have never had a problem with the film quality. I hope the manufactures have not lowered the quality since my last purchase.
