How to open the bags? Hold the top left-hand corner (where the loop is) with your left hand, slide the plastic closing rod from left to right (AWAY from where the triangle is pointing towards). The arrow is pointing the direction for closing not opening. The plastic sealing rod is meant to provide an airtight effect so that the bags will be leak proof. In the beginning, it might be a little hard to open as the bags are still very strong and sturdy but they will loosen up a bit over time. Some customers also suggest to use a brush and put coconut oil in the slider to make it easier to open and close.
Warm Tips
Please REMOVE SLIDER BARS when heating. Before first use silicone food bags, please soak in salt water for 24hours, then put it in the airing area to get rid of the smell. It's a little hard to open or close silicone storage bags, please don't worry about it. Its normal when you use them for the first time. It is great for the slider bar to have a tight seal, just make sure to line up the zipper and track correctly. And this is what keeps the bags Airtight and Leakproof.
