MAGBAG | Review

MAGBAG is the food storage option you’ve been waiting for! Whether it’s leftovers, meal prep, or frozen goodies, MAGBAG has you covered.

MAGBAG uses a patented magnetic seal that simply snaps shut – no more fiddly zips or clips. Just press the sides together and the magnets lock in freshness.

But it’s more than just convenient. Designed and invented in New Zealand, MAGBAG is made of US FDA-approved material and is built to last. It’s reusable, eco-friendly, biodegradable, and versatile – perfect for leftovers, bulk food storage, snacks, or prepped meals. MAGBAG is at home in the fridge, freezer, pantry, or lunchbox.

Whether you’re aiming to reduce single-use plastic, save space (because it folds flat when empty), or simply make everyday food storage easier, MAGBAG delivers a clever, sustainable solution that blends practicality with design.

You will find so many other uses for MAGBAG too! They’re great for the nappy bag to keep wet items separate, perfect to protect school notices in the backpack, and convenient for your holiday packing needs. The easy-to-use magnetic closure makes them accessible for all ages.

Bee2020 We always have leftovers from our meals (especially from my toddler) and having an easy and environmentally friendly way to save them for later would be so helpful!
duaa2202 I was eyeing out this product the other day. I’m really interested in trying the reusable bags for storing things in the freezer and using them for my kids lunches
Charland I’ve been searching for a reusable options for a while so I would be keen to test this out for my household

Meganfionapatterson We are always on the go with our 19 month old and an eco friendly/reusable way to store snacks would be so handy.
Yabby90 Being a family of 6 we always have leftovers of bit and pieces that we either need to find a container for or some sort of bag to keep them fresh. This would be amazing to try as being a bag they would take up less space (especially in the fridge which is prime real estate). I would love to try especially with cut apple or things that go brown to see how it holds in the freshness
Serena Lim Great environmental friendly products that i would like to use for kids snacks for lunch boxes. Instead of one off zip lock bag this would be great for environment
Jaime I make school lunches each morning so would be an add bonus to help keep food fresh or even to take in the car for trips
Briii12 I would love to try these because it sounds so simple easy and convenient and also a good way to store things in the fridge or freezer tidily. These would be the perfect addition in our household I reckon, we always have a bit of left overs with a family of 5.
Rose These would we perfect as we have some fussy eaters and hate wasting food
Mamasparkles Would love to try this product I’m

I’m constantly cutting up fruit for My toddler and he’s not eating all of it which is making food waste  thanks

sara.williams788@gmail.com I am sick of reusable bags that dont last and dont keep food that fresh
Sexcpinkplayboy Would love to trial this, I use a lot of zip bags for left over foods or storing foods in for the kids to take on the go. Would love to be accepted for this trial. Thank you.
Jo.27 I’d love to trial a MAGBAG because it ticks every box I care about: it’s reusable, eco-friendly, biodegradable, and incredibly versatile.

My main use would be freezing meal prep but I’m sure it will come in handy so many other ways.

I’m excited to see how it can help reduce storage & waste while keeping my kitchen running smoothly.

lilmiss0t I need something that is reusable as I buy the plastic bags for the kids lunches but they dont always bring them home or they get yucky and cant use them again.
chaaarleylol I have 2 school ages and a partner who works shift work! These would come in handy for snacks!
Lacyr Would love to try this new product! Handy for the kids as they would be able to open and close them, have. 5yo and 3yo. Be good to not have yo buy snap lock bags anymore with this new alternative.
Natstar Because i think they’d be amazing
melinda1nz Would love to give this a go, our son has autism and gets very fixated on foods touching each other, so being able to easily pack snacks for on the run with him would be great, keeping them fresh and ensuring things are separated 🙂
Em_hendo We are always on the go with 3 kids so it would be great to have the fridge full of ready to go chopped fruit so we can grab them when we are rushing off to our next adventure
Casss86 I love prepping things ahead of time for school lunches, these look perfect, taking up less space than containers and easy for my son to open when picking things out for his lunches.
xkatiepiex Would love to try mag bag for my daughter’s school lunches to see if they hold up well as an alternative to rubbish free snack wraps or containers. Magnets seem like a great idea!
rhiancmorris555@gmail.com This would be amazing for our 4 year old who struggles with ziplock bags. I also love that this is reuseable rather than disposable.
Cath_champ Looks like a fun way to store things
ppalfi The zips and clips drive me batty so I would love to try these please
Robmel We would love to be considered to try out MAGBAG.
Unfortunately we’ve tried many reusable bags over the years and found that most of them are hard to clean/wash & dry.
So we’ve resorted back to single use snaplocks.
We go through a lot of bags for things such as: excess produce into the freezer, leftover chips, on the go snacks, opened cheese blocks.
We would be interested to see how MAGBAG stacks up.
Crystalwinter 4 wild kids always leaving packets half open to get stale hopefully this will improve the shelf life of our Kai!
rhea29 Always looking for ways to keep my kids snacks fresher and more accessible. this would be great to try out
Bevik1971 Oh wow!  About time someone came up with this ingenious idea!  I would use these everyday and would be getting more when these had done their dash!  I’m ALWAYS looking for clips etc to keep food inside bags that have been opened.  Perfect for the lunchboxes too!  Would love to trial these products 🙂
Tansy Because this is could be my solution to my overuse of ziplock bags in my daughters lunchbox. I like this idea better than fabric bags…
Stacie29 Trying to find something to keep fruit fresh especially in the children’s lunchbox is insanely difficult. This may be an awesome option.
Kana I like to get bulk and try to reduce rubbish so this would be handy
Jackie They look  very handy to keep my food fresh.
BIGAM4 Would love to try this option as continually purchasing snack and sandwhich bags a need something more sustainable then throwing out loads of plastic waste.
Jesswooster Always using disposable bags these look awesome
Skyla11 These sound amazing for all types of things, I feel like they would be great for the kids in their school bags as they sometimes find the ziplock type ones hard to close so these sound like a great east kid friendly alternative!
Kamox We love reusable and these look awesome. My kids always always eat .. so we carry snacks everywhere
Amba My kids use these daily and loose them daily
Tesha I would like to get rid of excess packaging in my tamariki lunch box, so I would really like to try this and see how I go.
Moggiecat I always love the idea of reuseable bags and products and would love to try ones that are durable and easy to clean and reuse.

The magnetic function in particular is attractive especially for easy access for my daughter to try

raz1984 We would love to try these in our household!! Over the single-use bags that end up breaking anyway, we use them every single day to keep food over the day for after school snacks.
Kesa Having a toddler, life is busy enough. So having these would make life easier with not having to deal with trying to use gladwrap
EL Would really like to try something that takes up less space in the bag, and versatile for putting snacks, wet clothes, used nappies when out and about. Great for the kids to use as well as they can seal the bags easily after having their snacks.
SophieP I have two school aged children and these would be handy for separating foods and not using plastic
Karlieplusfour I’d love to try this product with my girls for school lunches and packed snacks for after school activities as an alternative to zip lock bags. They look super handy!
emmajvickery@gmail.com I love that this is a reusable product. My kids and I are always looking for ways to reduce single use items and a product that can be used for fridge and pantry is exactly what we’re missing!
I would love to give this a go and also promote it to work colleagues
Micht We are always using ziplock bags in our home…and a more reusable and permanent option would be great!!
Keades13 I am forever wasting ziplock bags that end up going in the bin. A reliable, reusable product would be amazing to give a go! Then I can keep my food fresh, AND save the turtles 🙂
gemm73 As a mum of 5 boys I love to reuse and recycle – these would make the job so much easier!
IWaghorne Would love to try this product always keen on new options that is not single use plastic
Joanna Morrison I have four kids and would love to use these for snacks, we are constantly packing after school snacks and ‘d love to reduce packaged food options and go for healthy snacks in reusable bags.
kteam0@xtra.co.nz We as a family use a lot of the ziplock bags to store opened packets and other food stuffs around the fridge and pantry. These would be perfect for my son and elderly father who both have trouble resealing the ziplocks and love the fact they are reusable!
natnat_y3k@hotmail.com I love the idea of a magnetic reuseable pack. It’s convenient and easy to use for kid’s lunch box or on the go. So keen to try one!
CourtzM17 Because my kids are often not finishing their food and sometimes I have trouble keeping it fresh
Andyandbek My kids love having Apple cut up and this would make it so easy- able to do in advance. Also would be great for leftovers, packets that get opened or taking lunch. Keen to try them camping this summer also- wouldn’t take much much space but so handy!
rebeccam We would love to trial the Magbag as Miss 15 refuses to take lunch to school unless it is snacks in a zip lock bag, so this would be a gamechanger for our family! Thanks for considering us to trial this amazing new product
Missyanne8 I would love to give this a go – my busy toddler is always snacking and this would be so handy to store cut up fruits! They never eat the portion you give them, they always start and stop with the snacks so it would be amazing to have a quick and easy storage option. I can see these being great for storaging other foods for day trips too, and the magnetic seal means no second guessing whether you’ve closed it properly and no nasty surprise spillage when it comes time for food.
Melanie I am always trying to be environmentally conscious when packaging food and snacks, either leftovers or just something to quickly grab and have handy for the kids. MAGBAG look like a brilliant, easy solution to our containers (bulky) or snaplock bag (hard to clean/dry and have a short shelf life of reusability plus they’re hit & miss with the kids being able to actually seal the seam themselves. Would love to give them a go with some. feedback on how they work for our family snacks and leftovers.
steff Would love to try this product for several reasons. Reducing food wastage would be top of the list. Next would be ease of use and then space saving. These look like an amazing product.
MelClare I’m always looking for ways to use less waste and help the environment. I’m all for reusing.
eeyorenator@gmail.com A busy home, kids meals, left overs, sports events and picnics, all requiring snacks, storage and transportation. A quick open and seal is ideal. A product likely to become a family favourite.
LaniGM Our daughter is in her very loving phase so we are always packing her Strawberries and blueberries in sistema plastic containers which can be a bit of a pain when it comes to an already full nappy bag. We’d love the opportunity to try something more practical and fresh.
Thanks so much !
Melandtrinity Having kids means lunch foods and snacks, trying to reduce waste products is a real thing, I love the idea of magnetic closing as sometimes these zip locks can be hard for the kids to open ending in ripped bags.  3 kids of different ages an a man child who also needs lunch foods means they would get alot of use and I love the idea of this product
HIna I usually prep chicken for kids ij advance and then freeze it so I can use it over a variety of meals. This would help store it easily in the freezer without the need for big plastic containers taking up so much space
emmap We use resealable bags to portion food in our pantry and fridge so we can see clearly how many serves/meals we have to keep us from going over our monthly budget and spending too much leading to waste. We have tried lots of brands but never found one that lasts very long so would be keen on trialing these. Just looked at their website, they sound amazing.
maplan We use ziplocks a lot to store bulk baby food. Would love the opportunity to try a more environment friendly and cost effective approach. Thanks!
Curse10b I’d love the chance to trial Mag Bags because I’m always looking for smarter, more reliable ways to keep food fresher for longer while cutting down on waste. The magnetic seal system really stands out as a practical upgrade from traditional storage options, especially for busy weeks when I need things to stay organised and airtight without hassle. If they can genuinely deliver better freshness, easier storage, and a more sustainable alternative, I’m keen to put them to the test and see how they fit into everyday use.
Lindanne Wonderful for leftovers in the fridge without taking up a lot of room and you can see what it is!!!!
Truddles Looks fab for keeping food fresh
Shellv I would love to give MAGBAG a go! I have very limited space in my little old kitchen, so there’s no room for bulky containers in my cupboards! These would also be great to store things like sauces and produce in the freezer and freezer to maximise space, and even to pop in lunch boxes. They look a much better, sturdier option to normal plastic bags, and would be perfect to wash and reuse.
Mrsbplus3 This would be amazing to try. I am forever buying snap bags but this looks like a fantastic alternative that would be so much better for the environment.
Angelgirl081 This MAGBAG actually looks amazing. My kids use other disposable plastic bags for their lunch snacks and as much as I try and reuse them, this generally doesn’t happen or if it does, they only last 1 or 2 more uses and it feels like such a waste and bad for the environment. My youngest also struggles with her fine motor skills so getting ziplock or press together type bags to do up properly can be a bit of a challenge for her. The fact that these bags just snap shut is perfect for her and will mean fresher food and less spills.
Like most people, I am reluctant to invest in products without knowing if they will actually do what they claim or be suitable for our family, so being able to trial a couple first would be great.
Tendra We use a lot of plastic containers in our house which are a huge pain to try and store. These look great in terms of space saving!! Keen to see how well they work and ease of cleaning. If they tick the boxes, I would be keen to change to these from bulky containers
stepankas@mail.com We would love to trial the mag bag because it has so many ways to make life easier. It’s perfect for leftovers and keeping kids snacks fresh. Plus, it’s reusable and super simple to use, something I need in my life.
Lauren.m.fick@gmail.com This product looks amazing, we use a lot of fruit and always looking for new  ways of storing them. The fact that its eco friendly and biological degradable is amazing
FionaLiam We eat a lot of fresh foods through the summer, and hate seeing food go to waste when it goes off if not eaten in time. We would love to use these to keep fruit fresher for longer, be able to take snacks on the go, and reduce waste. Food is too expensive to see it wasted.
Jessandava23 We use snap lock bags all the time a reusable one would be great
Kim007 Magbag sounds like a great hassle-free storage solution for a wide variety of items. Great for the kids to use too as sometimes they don’t quite seal the zip-lock bags together properly so food doesn’t stay fresh for as long. We would love to trial this product and give feedback.
Tina School lunch box. I think it would be amazing and mess free
Aboyd With 2 young ones I often have to repack foods this bag looks so handy and being reusable is such a bonus
Amyhoneybun Perfect with young children
Mischella These sound fantastic! So versatile and eco-friendly. I’d love to try one in the fridge, pantry or freezer for leftovers and one in my son’s school bag as he often gets water spillage from his drink bottle in there and this would protect other things from getting wet, too! Not to mention the space it would save if using one in the handbag instead of the container I often take with me!
louiseweber82@hotmail.com We use ziplock bags frequently to help reduce contamination for my 7 year old son with coeliac disease. But he can find the seal frustrating so the magnetic strip sounds amazing.
Cerulean We have a almost 3 year old who devours food but also leaves lots of leftovers. And we also need to carry snacks everywhere we go as he loves his food so this would be so convenient for us!
tarawr158 Because I am looking for sustainable, eco friendly ways to better store and keep fresh freezer food. This looks like a great solution so would love to give it a try.
HayleyW We currently use Stasher bags and do a lot of food prep for our three little girls, so I would love to try a different option!
ZoeA I’m always looking for the most environmentally friendly options that also incorporate actual sealed freshness in these products. These look awesome!
raglanmum These would be perfect for my teenagers daughters lunch at school and snacks to the beach.  Ziplock bags are handy, but not so reusable, and would like to reduce my use of them.  These mag bags look practical and cute as well.
AmyT We use bento style lunchboxes but this would be great to put something extra in a bigger compartment but keep it seperate
Pencat To keep things fresh
Louisa21 My daughter attends preschool and we are trying new ways to separate her crackers from other foods in her lunchbox to prevent them from going soggy. I’m also a very eco conscious mum, so am always interested in different reusable packaging.
kelbean25 my kids lunches contain too much plastic – i’d like to become better at reducing the waste
Renztreats I would like to try these in my son’s lunch box.  I’ll put cut fruit in it and freeze over night then use it as an icepack in summer and he can eat the fruit inside too . Also I’d like to keep fruit segments separate from sandwiches to avoid them getting soggy as long as they don’t leak
Hturner I am looking for a reusable food storage option to use in my twins lunchboxes – this could do the trick!
juliereidnz Hopefully I can stop using pegs on bags to keep things fresh!  This would also be great for taking snacks to kids sports without having to use a ziplock bag which often gets thrown away.  Be lovely to have a reusable option.
Sarah_g_nz We are conscious of reducing our waste and would love to have another option to help us save leftovers
Ruby12345 We are trying to reduce waste in our household and this would be the perfect alternative to using disposable bags.
likichee I want to try the MagBag because I love practical, space-saving products, and this looks like a game-changer. The magnetic storage idea is brilliant, and I’d be excited to see how it works in real everyday use in a household of 4 with a 3 and 5 years old and share my experience.
Abbey Wow these look great! Love the concept and the opportunity to Tey before we invest. We’re currently looking into replacements for storage products, so great timing.

Interesting that you say FDA approved. Could you help those more decerning  understand if this product is Phthalate/PFAS/PFOA/BPA free please? If these are I request for the opportunity to test these out and I’ll give thorough and thoughtful feedback on them.

The fact these are environmentally friendly is a highly valued aspect in our whānau, so we are very curious to check them out; but before I buy an investment (in this case a new set up) I need to know 1st that it ticks the boxes for us and iur needs.

Thanks again for the opportunity

Sonya19 As a busy Mum, I’m ALWAYS preparing food, and needing food storage solutions!
RoxLiley I’m encouraging all family members to reduce waste and use reusable containers etc for their lunches and leftovers.

These bags look like a game changer and would be fantastic for the younger children to use.

marketa.vaega@gmail.com It’s about time our family starts using reusable bags so we don’t pollute the planet with you neverending sandwich bags.
gemleigh I use the Glad ziplock bags and really hate how many I use. I’d rather have something I can reuse for years to come!
Keiramitchell@hotmail.co.nz I have 3 kids and am always looking for easier ways to pack lunches
Megan I’m always wanting easier storage options to keep food fresh as we live rural an need to make it last longer
laoshizhu The traditional zip can be hard to zip up, and magbags look so handy to avoid that inconvenience!
Vickybijal Please pleases pick me..I would love to try this mag bag. I love carrying this type of zip lock bags bit sometimes those with poor quality doesn’t work well when we are out and about. I have been looking for a different brands bag. Would love to try.
Pheeny Love a more sustainable product than using plastic bags or glad wrap, also anything that’s keeping food fresher is a plus
Mallie We have just started solids with our youngest baby and this will be perfect to store the leftover fruits and veggies.
rochelleg Less waste happening in my house!
ebuceci I think this would be the perfect product to help prepare my daughters kindy lunch boxes. She often struggles to open containers so this looks super handy for her to use.
Miss_laloli It’s new and different. I’d love to see how well it works for collecting little bits of leftover fruit and freezing them for an easy smoothie base.
vannrose We tend to snack a lot and so this will be perfect for our leftover snacks to keep in the fridge or pantry! I also store a lot of frozen items in the freezer and this would be perfect for those too!
ncbessette@gmail.com This sounds like the solution to aging hands. Always getting together school lunches, leftovers and packing up the “little things” for the little ones. My fingers find it hard to secure snaplock bags as lining up the edges that need to carefully be put together to seal the bag is now a challenge for my fingers and eyes. This sounds like it would be the perfect solution and make me confident once again in packaging things for the children in bags that are new, improved, magnetic and not a challenge for an adult.
Kelsey2022 This would be the perfect item for me to use with our 4yr old. Giving the ability for me to prel fruit/snacks for her, keeping it nice and fresh for her to be able to help herself whenever she wants a snack – also giving her independence
Fiona In our family we reuse ziplock bags so would be so interested to try magbag.
Nicsters What an awesome idea. I would love to trial these for holding lunches. These look way easier than ziplock and the zipper ones break!  Very cool!
Mad Sidd I would like to try as I store a lot of food for my special needs boy which saves me prep time for next couple of days. Thank you
Aaditi Wants to try for kids lunch boxes
MelE81 This would be perfect for kids and adult lunches. Love kiwi summer and especially being able to buy fresh strawberries,  blueberries and cherries at the moment. I would love to try out those reusable bags as I am annoyed about the amount of glad bags we are using. We are a family of 4 and with 2 kids doing lots of after school activities those would be perfect for their extra snacks/afternoon tea.
Kelseyfeisst@gmail.com This would be great in the kids lunch boxes and mine. I go through a lot of tinfoil or gladwrap and it would be good to have something  reusable
brookekb@hotmail.co.nz My daughter has to have a nude lunchbox at school every day so would love to try these
Mxtherofchvnce I would love to try this product i use zip lock bags for lunches and would love to find an alternative that is cost effective and more efficient.
albabe It is a great practical and sustainable way to store food
nikkirox92@hotmail.com i would love to try these for use in my kids and my own lunches and also for any fruit they leave leftover.
Mama88 I am forever needing and using snap lock bags these look much more convenient
Chrislean We are a family of ‘leftovers’! All leftovers from a meal that I can eat the next day for work lunch or my son school lunch, then this is what we do.
These convenient Mag Bags would be so ideal, quick, user friendly and simple for our family’s needs. Absolutely love to trial out a Mag Bag
jrjinga My wife has arthritis and this product will allow her to seal her snacks in a bag that is easier to seal than a zip or clip which is fiddly and could cause hand pain. (Also sounds easier for my daughter to open at school and not need to ask her teacher to open a bag or reveal a bag of her lunchbox snacks!)
Kylaoconnor Always looking for products that can be reused esp for food items such as chip, crackers etc
Smilezr4eva Wash and reuse my sealable bags all the time, but I’m lucky to get two or three uses out of them. This looks a fantastic option. A flourishing vegetable garden means keeping up with produce, often freezing till a quantity is enough for preserving. Or snack bags in lunchboxes, reducing our waste.
Heyleebeez Trial in outside fridge
Riverwoid Looking for a reusable option for sandwiches for the kids that will keep their bread fresh throughout the day.
Yet to find such a solution so keen to try a new brand and provide a review with photos.
Have done 100s of trials/mystery shopping over the last 15 years including mystery shopping at restaurants, test driving vehicles, trying food products before manufacturing etc.
Coring because i want to  experience less hassle when I use a bag to put my sandwhich etc.
Shris I want to trial MAGBAG because I’m looking for a smarter, more sustainable way to store food and everyday items. The magnetic seal really appeals to me because it seems quicker and easier than traditional clips or zip bags, and I like that the bags are reusable, eco-friendly, and made from safe, durable materials. I’m also interested in how versatile they are — from leftovers and meal prep to travel and organising my bag. I want to see how well MAGBAG fits into my daily routine and whether it can help me cut down on single-use plastics while keeping things tidy and fresh.
BluffBokkie1978 I would love to trial this product as they look very effective and I often have leftovers that I like to freeze for the next day.
shirl2912 I would love to try them for food prepping and keeping fruit snacks snacks on the go!
Helensouth I don’t have reusable storage bags so these bags will be a good trial. It will be perfect storing on the go snacks for my 3 year old and 1 year old.
Ashleigh1994 I am a mum of 3
Jessikah1995 My now five year old now goes to school and these would be perfect to put his fruit and snacks in for his lunchbox. They would also save a whole heap of plastic (cling wrap and snack/sandwich bags) from going in there and in to the bin!
fefifofum Ooh yes please I would be very interested to try MagBag in the fridge to store vegetables or fruits. At the moment I use all sorts of plastic bags and ice-cream containers.
I think this version with the magnetic seal will be really beneficial as opposed to plastic clips or the ole twist or twist tie.
It would also be great to try this instead of snap lock bags for food snacks for work or the kiddies lunches. Such a good idea with the magnetic closure.
Terry100 I regularly use zip lock bags to store leftovers or for food to take out with me somewhere, so these sound perfect!! I love the fact the closure is magnetic, this would make it simpler for arthritic fingers and little fingers too I’m sure!!
Anitagoveas Would be cool to try this as when the bag is empty easy to fold and keep in bag
Maryke Schneider I have 2 boys that really struggling with closing ziplock bags and container lids. We deal with a lot of wastage and mess everyday and would like to see if this bag could solve our daily lunchbox problems.
Dognay We use plastic containers in our fridge and plastic clips on bags in our cupboards, so I’m really interested to try these.
BJW Our family always seems to have leftovers and I’d love to try the Magbag for leftovers to take for lunch the following day without any spills & especially that it is reuseable.
The Magbag would also be so handy when going away for the weekend or on holidays as it is flat when not used to save on luggage space.
We’ve bought clips from Home Shows which work to a certain extent, but some can’t clip bulkier items together or they get lost in the drawers.
Our family would love to try the magnetic seal which seems so simple & would love to do a review.
Shar222 I’m after something more simple less fridge space but also keeps your food fresh as so many containers keep becoming disappointing with all above wants
Sasha We do a lot of tramping and I’m keen to see if its good for using out bush and how well it holds up. Currently I use snap lock bags and reuse them until they are worn out but even thin that’s not ideal for the environment. Also they can be hard to reseal if you have used them too many times so I’m keen to see how these compare.
Jrochelle Love to try them out to see how they would work for my littles lunch snacks or snack bags for in the fridge!
davidjalene@gmail.com I have 3 kids I could definitely try these on. We use so many disposable ziplock bags. I’ve actually been on the lookout for reusable ones. For my two boys in primary this would be good for their snacks or fruits for my 5 month old this would be good for her frozen purees that I make
Weenie_nz@yahoo.com They look great to use for lunches for me and my kids and I love anything that helps keep not using gladwrap!
neverland I’d love to try MAGBAG because it solves a real pain point in my kitchen. I struggle to keep food fresh without the hassle of clips or single-use plastics. The magnetic seal sounds like a game-changer for convenience, and I’m excited about the eco-friendly, reusable design that aligns with my goal to reduce waste. I often meal prep and store leftovers, so having a durable, versatile option that works in the fridge, freezer, and pantry would make life easier. Plus, supporting an innovative New Zealand invention makes me even more keen to give MAGBAG a go!
zyonsmama As a mama of 2 I’m always looking for new ways to store food to stop waste!
Kikikiana I would love these to carry in my bag and in the car as wet bags!
I also think they would be great to keep strawberries frozen in the freezer for the summer season!
Naomi Will be so good to reduce waste and to carry fruit and things that get messy in a sealed bag when we are out and about over summer!
Elleycat99 I’m always looking for efficient ways to store my snacks as I often run out of containers. I try to avoid disposable bags so this looks great! I’d love to try it to store all the little foodie bits for my young kids.
mantakoe It would be good to try a new storage system for snacks for my babies
Leeshy Would like to see how well these hold up in my sons lunch box and try and reduce the amount of ziplock bags we use
Fluffidukz Always looking for new and exciting ways to keep food fresh. Especially when my hand dexterity is lacking at the moment due to injury
BluffBokkie1978 I would love to try this product as I will have plenty of leftovers after Christmas this year that I would love to freeze.
tingaling124 We use a lot of ziploc bags in our day to day, especially in the summer when we go camping or to the pool. It would be great to try this eco friendly option to reduce our waste!
Jimxy Just started school and this would be super helpful
Samsam28 It looks like something I would invest in would be nice to try before you buy
Niki.Lal Trying to pack snacks for my two kids on the weekend when running errands is such a nightmare, I end up with multiple containers of different snacks having to carry a whole separate bag of food. The compactness of the Magbag sounds amazing
Laswh We’ve started solids 2 weeks ago. Doing a few batch cooking and freezing things of various textures including purée and different flavours. Would like to see if they hold up to handling purée. Also it would be fantastic for allergen introduction especially with batch & freeze cooking due needing to have breaks in between exposure.
levy_317@hotmail.com Because I am constantly using all our plastic snack bags and hate wasting so many each day.
I would love something the girls can bring home and I can resuse.
serenajay We often use ziplock plastic bags to store food in, in the fridge and freezer, as well as in lunchboxes, etc. I get so sick of ziplock bags not sealing properly or the plastic bits that seal the bag falling off, etc. so I would love to give the Mag Bag a try and see how it holds up and compares against traditional storage bags.
yejin22 I’ve been wanting to try a product like this – mainly because I always use a baking paper for my sons lunchbox as it seems to make the food smell like dishwashing tablets so tis would
Come in handy as I wouldn’t need to use baking paper. Also my husband would like it for his lunchbox as as its not bulky.
Brookefairweather@icloud.com Perfect for my 3 year old left overs /lunch box and my soon to be baby starting solids
Christiana Looks super handy to store leftovers, especially since kids never finish their food!
Lauren.gregiry1@outlook.com I would love to try this to keep my boys fruits especially nice and fresh
ksenia.wells I love utilising reusable products in my home and always keep my eye out for something new. I also like the idea of having a magnetic closure as I think it will be easy for my children to use. My 9 year old really enjoyed helping in the kitchen, however he struggled to seal some of the bags fully. I think this product might be a game changer!
Vanessa Hayward My son won’t use a lunchbox and be good for me too when I’m in town all day
Greerw Having snacks in a bag thay my 1 year old could easily open qould be great. He would feel so independent.
Plus it sounds so versatile.
Id love to try freezing cookies in it to see how fresh they stay
Hunter23 Would love to try this over christmas I think they will be so handy for us at the  beach. Easily accessible is what we love when we’re out and about and the kids are running back and forth for snacks.
nessa_7@hotmail.com All the current reusable bags I’ve got simply don’t cut the cake, my boys get very frustrated and find them hard to open. These Magbags look promising 🤞
LeighT My toddler is constantly wanting a sandwich then after two bites decides he is full! So this would be great to try so we can keep his sandwich fresh for when he wants his next 2 bites!!
laurenbi Eldest child starting primary school next year and baby recently started solids, snacks on the go are essential and it would be nice to have an easy go to pouch that doesn’t leak or take up heaps of room like containers do.
Ivyjoshuamum I would like to try as i would love to try the freshness of food inside the bag and see how good they last in it
Liz181 I try to be environmentally friendly and these would provide a good reusable option i often have to take snacks & cant carry a lunchbox around so these will be perfect
Lara Have two kids (one new entrant almost) that will need to bring fruit break snacks to school. Will hopefully help with the ease to open, and the loss of containers and lids!!
Leala0819 This would be perfect for my sons lunch boxes 😊
jude21 I am always looking for better storage solutions for food and crafts. I find it frustrating when zip lock bags don’t close properly this looks like a great product.

Sophielouise I am sick of resealable bags that don’t seal properly and also having to throw them away after each use. I’d love to give this a go!
butterfly67 These seem perfect for morning tea snacks at school, especially for little ones who struggle with ziplock bags and opening and closing containers.
SarahBlair This would be fantastic for my kids lunchboxes, keeping thing separate without using single use plastics. We are trying to eliminate these from our home.
palindrome I always have a million and one items haphazardly stored in my freezer, and much of it is protected by gladwrap.  Would be very keen to trial a non-single use option, especially one that is leakproof!  Thanks:)
Elizna We are starting to meal prep and I would love to try this

    I received these just before we went away camping so it was perfect timing . They were great for throwing in left over stuff , and easy for the kids to access and open as well. Can take them on the go. Really happy with them. Awesome magnet close, seems nice and strong. I rate these & appreciate receiving them to review.

    I have used the Magbag for leftover veggies so far but I can imagine how many various ways I can use these bags for which is just amazing specially when we need to keep something handy to eat while traveling and so on. The best thing is that it saves a lot of space in the fridge also because boxes do take more space. It keeps the food fresh and I liked that it was so convenient that the magnet gets closed well. I am definitely gonna buy more of these.

    I was one of the lucky ones chosen to review, I found a use for these bags sooo fast, the smaller bag I immediately decided to pop some frozen breastmilk bags in to keep them together in the freezer and then I used the medium bags to store some burritos that I’d meal prepped, the bags are so handy and fit more than expected, they appear to be quite durable and flexible. No more snaplock bags that are never closed in a rush, or bulky plastic bins, the magnets on these ensure a firm seal every time and the bags dont take up much space! Impressive and extremely useful in a busy household

    I used both bags to store different types of vegetables in the fridge. This saved me a lot of much-needed space as they were all being stored in bulky plastic containers prior to this. For this reason alone, I am a fan! They are also super easy to clean, and appear to be durable long term. For that reason they are super eco-friendly and I recognise their versatility so will definitely use them for snacks in the future. I would definitely recommend purchasing these for their ease of use and convenience and would purchase them myself, perhaps as a super useful practical gift!

    Wow fab product, good strong silicone, nice design, I think the larger one is more versatile for our large family in particular for biscuits and cut up fruit, love the smaller one for individual servings.
    I have used the regular silicone bags but found after a few uses they are hard to reseal however this is not the issue with these bags.

    I would definitely buy these again.

    A great surprise to receive these to trial! Love them already, more durable, easy to seal, easy to wash compared with plastic reuseable bags. Have used to carry food and books for my child. Definitely would buy to use and would make great presents as most people love using more sustainable products.

    I love how versatile and useful the bags are. I’ve tried using them for leftover snacks as well as for freezer items, and it just does the job! I also like the material of the bags, they have a very soft feel and is very durable. I would definitely recommend this product to family and friends if it were out in the market for sale. It’s a very good buy in my opinion and very useful for the household. I’m thinking of even using it for travel where I can put in my small items and small bottles, it’s like a mini-packing organiser 🙂

    I’ve been testing the MAGBAGs in my freezer, and I’m genuinely impressed. I used them for storing leftovers, portioning out meat, and freezing chopped fruit, and they’ve handled everything really well.
    What stood out immediately was how easy they are to open and close. They’re so much better than a traditional ziplock — honestly, have you ever tried sealing one of those when your hands are cold or the bag is slightly damp? The magnetic seal on the MAGBAG just snaps shut with no fuss, which makes the whole process faster and far less annoying.
    The design feels sturdy, and the material holds up beautifully in the freezer without going brittle or cracking. I also love that I can reuse them over and over instead of throwing out plastic bags. It feels like a small but meaningful upgrade for both convenience and waste reduction.
    Will I purchase these in the future? Yes — they’ve already earned a spot in my kitchen routine.
    Would I recommend them to others? Absolutely. If you freeze food regularly or just want a reusable alternative that’s easier to handle than a ziplock, these are a great option.
