VENO 4 Pack Moving Bags, Heavy Duty, Moving Boxes Alternative, Packing Storage Supplies for Dorm Room Essentials with Zipper for Clothes, Extra Large Totes for Packaging (Clear, 4 Pack)

I have bought these, and then bought more. I used them for moving cross country, then for storage, they are sturdy, good capacity, I have 12 of them, use them for everything, they protect all your stuff, easy to carry around, the zippers are topnotch, no problems, the price is right, they are magic organizing protectors of your good stuff.

I originally bought an 8-pack of these to store out of season clothes & decor items. Fast forward 2 years & we were getting ready to move so I bought 10 more to pack & move all of our clothes, linens, etc. The movers were impressed with how easy it was to carry these, compared to boxes of clothes.I love how sturdy these bags are. None of the original 8 have ripped or been compromised in any way, despite being stored in a non-climate controlled storage unit for 2 years. They fit easily on our racks & the clear plastic pocket makes it convenient to drop a card/paper in describing the contents (pro tip: A 3x3 post-it note fits quite well). When not in use, they are a little cumbersome to get back into their original compact folded shape, but even a little puffy they take up far less room than boxes.We have one permanently set up as our family emergency "go bag" since it fits enough soft & lighter-weight items for our family of 5, plus 2 cats. We've used one to pack up & store common items we use for traveling & camping like extra extension cords, fans, ponchos, etc. It's so easy to just grab it & go. However, while I wouldn't necessarily be comfortable using it for a trip where we were flying, I have definitely used it for trips where we were driving (the bag also comes in handy as a dirty clothes hamper during these trips).As others have mentioned, these bags are much bigger than you are probably expecting & will hold an incredible amount of stuff. That being said, take caution not to over-pack.

These bags are great! We were amazed at just how much they hold, and how durable they are. The zippers glide smoothly, don't get hung up, and provide perfect closure. These are great for moving, storage, camping.....you name it. We've already ordered more and hghly recommend..

Great for layering things yu need to move. Like the fact that it has handles and has flexibility to fit into moving area. Very sturdy and easy to load and unload. Folds up neatly

I haven’t grown a lot in the last 30 years. I still have some clothes I wore even more than 30 years ago. I have a small closet and have been using a dresser that I think is at least 50 years old and not in great shape. I have more clothing than I need and wanted containers to put some clothes in when I am not using them seasonally and maybe even some containers I could stack up along the wall next to my closet so at least the clothes are not just piled on my desk and drawing table. I still don’t have things as neat and organized as I want, but these do help.I put half index cards in the pockets with simple descriptions of what is in the bag. Winter clothes. Short sleeved shirts., long pants , shorter pants, etc. I have an extra blank card in some of the pockets, behind the label or more than one label. It is also easy to turn the label around because the pocket is open at the top. The cards don’t fall out very easily, especially if the bag is mostly full. Most of my labels say that the things in the bag have not been worn since they were washed.In theory I could at least put the winter clothes in another room for a few months, but although I can go more than a year without wearing a swimsuit, and I don’t wear short pants much in winter, I really can wear most of my clothes all year where I live. So, most of these big zippy bags have stayed in my little bedroom. I rearrange them and move them around to make it easier to get into the ones that contain things I want. I generally put clothes in these after they have been washed and dried. After I wear the clothes I put them in a wooden drawer unless they need to be washed again. At least that is my official plan for most of my clothes now. Some things need to be hung up to avoid wrinkles. Socks and underwear don’t need containers this big, except maybe the period underwear that I probably bought too much of, but it is easier to find what I want in a smaller container, especially if they are small items. I put some small blankets in one bag, and could probably get a comforter or two in one. These would probably be fine for most bedding. I’m not sure how many pillows these would hold. It would depend on what kind of pillows. I tend to use pillows instead of storing them. Sometimes I get lazy and put clean clothes in one of these with the intention of sorting them out later. It isn’t a perfect system, but it is an attempt at getting a little more organized, and it should keep things from falling on the floor and possibly needing to be washed again when I haven’t even worn them.I think one of these has stuffed animals 🧸 or soft plush toys in it. That might be a different type of container. These would work for that. You could put other light weight toys in, like maybe light weight building blocks or the balls that go in a ball pit.Most of the bags like this that I bought are not full to capacity, but at least one has gotten full enough that I had to stop putting things in or transfer some of the contents to another container. Probably bulky winter things. Maybe pants. Maybe even T-shirts. I have some more disposable containers for things I am willing to part with or cannot wear. I should put more in those and give them away. I think these could be used for donations if you want to donate the container with the contents, or maybe you could use them to collect items to be donated and remove the items when you get to the place where you are donating them. Similarly, they could be used to collect scraps or rags or yarn or used or unused fabric or other items for craft projects if the items are not too heavy or sharp.These containers are not as durable as I hoped, but I am probably opening and closing them and moving them around more than they were built for. So far, the zippers are holding up. Some of the pockets for labels have started to tear away along at least one side seam. That just makes it harder to keep them labeled. I got the clear ones, so I can usually recognize enough of my own clothes to see what category of clothing is in each bag without opening them or reading a label, but I do like being able to label them. Some of the other seams have also started to split. At least one is open along the bottom of one end. I don’t think it goes all the way across yet, but these types of holes grow. Things might fall through the hole if I keep smaller items in there, and it can’t be as effective at keeping things clean. I don’t know how hard it would be to repair seams on these. The plastic might be torn along the seam, and the little bit of trim along the edges doesn’t leave much room for reinforcing the seams. I have plenty of duct tape, but that might not hold as well as stitching and probably wouldn’t look as neat. It might even get a little sticky if the plastic gets pulled enough to start sliding away from the tape. A glue gun might help for the tag pockets, but it might also melt the plastic and make it worse if high temp, or just not stick if low temp. I have not tried yet. I think the pockets are stitched on. I should look again. Of course stitching makes things a little less waterproof and can create perforated lines along which a material might tear. The zippers and edges are stitched.I have not deliberately gotten anything wet on the inside or outside of this type of container. I imagine they would be splash proof, but not leak proof. If a bottle of water tips over and spills on one or more of these, I think I could just wipe up the spill without opening the bag and the contents would be fine. I would not submerge these in water if they have anything in them that I want to keep dry. I would not attempt to use these to contain liquids. I would not leave these outside for long, especially if it rains or if they are in direct sunlight. I might consider piling them on the lawn or patio to get things out of the house while rearranging furniture or something, but probably not for more than a few hours , and it would depend on weather. It gets a little humid in my house, especially in winter. We don’t have great ventilation. I don’t know if these plastic containers help to protect things from mildew and similar stuff more than they hold in any moisture that happens to get in, potentially making things eventually get a little musty from the lack of air circulation. I can’t say I have had problems with things in the bags smelling bad so far.I think these are reasonably good at keeping things from getting very dusty.I wanted something squishy enough that it could change shape a little to better use the space available, but being squishy makes things a little less stackable too. If leaning against a wall, I can stack one on top of another, but it would get awkward to try to stack more than that in my situation, because these really don’t hold their shape by themselves. Plus I would usually need to unstack them to get to things inside the container on the bottom. More rigid containers would be better for stacking. I might stack these more if mine had different contents or if I knew I would not want to get into them often. They probably would be more suited to more temporary uses than what I am using them for, or for storing things you don’t need to get out often.I would not recommend putting heavy objects in these. Even my clothing is heavy enough that I might prefer a slightly smaller container. Over stuffing these is not recommended either. That might spit the seams. These are not vacuum bags and don’t make your things take up less space. They just contain stuff in a somewhat organized fashion. I don’t think they would be good for packing things that will be handled and moved around a lot like baggage on a plane, but if you are moving your own things to a new house in your own vehicle or a truck or trailer that will not be opened before time to unpack, these should work well. It probably isn’t a great idea to use them as furniture to sit on, but maybe you could, depending on what is in them and who is sitting on them. It might break the seams with too much weight, especially with sudden pressure.It would probably be possible to use one of these as a mini green house, but I have not tried that. That would probably wear them out faster than using them to store dry light weight objects.I haven’t had to clean these because I don’t get them dirty. I imagine you would mostly wipe clean and then air dry, maybe after using a towel.You could probably use this type of thing to keep towels dry near your backyard pool. Maybe you could store smallish pool toys in one, but if you put wet things in, I don’t know how easily the water will get out.I think these would be awkward to try to carry around much, but the handles help to get them repositioned or to move them around a little. I suspect the handles could be ripped off if too much weight is in the bags.I have had mine long enough to make the purchase worthwhile, but I don’t consider these to be especially durable or sturdy or waterproof. Water resistant, probably, but not so much once they start coming apart or if there is a lot of liquid and it gets through seams or zippers. I am starting to be annoyed by how unwieldy these can get to be, and by the splitting seams from wear and tear. If I need to replace them I might get something different, maybe a little smaller and maybe a more breathable or more attractive material, but I’m not sure. There are good things about having a (mostly) transparent water resistant material and the large capacity is good for some things. They are still working and might work better if I had a better space to store them than on the floor. If the deep cupboard above the stairs was easier to reach I think I would put some in there, but my desk is in the way and I am not very tall, and I don’t know how these bags would react to being slid in and out on a wood surface often. It might be a lot of abrasion for the bottoms and the end handles would get more use than they have been getting. Handles are stitched on pretty well, but eventually I think the plastic might tear if the stitches hold.

Great for those Costco hauls, decluttering if you have children. We regularly fill up a bag for goodwill to donate. Been great for storage, miscellaneous Christmas decor, sheets & towels, pretty much whatever you neeed! Large, heavy duty! Highly recommend!

I got these to carry multiple vacuum storage bags and they’re very durable. They can hold a lot and I think it’s a good thickness to protect whatever is inside. Easy to move around and I could use the straps to wear on my back like a backpack. It’s a simple design but does the job. Would recommend for anyone moving or storing stuff.

I am very happy with this product. Good quality material and zippers. Holds a lot of clothing, easy to lift. Even ordered more! Other products were less expensive, but didn't offer the quality.
