Paint Storage Bags

[Color: Royal Blue, Color: Royal Blue]
The 8 Pack of 1 Quart Paint Storage Bags worked great for getting rid of some gallon containers taking up lots of space. These use far less space for leftover paint that I need for touchup jobs in the future. The appearance of the seal seems great too so hopefully in a year or so it stays good.However, filling them up is a challenge by yourself with the small funnel (glad a funnel came with it though) and bags that can't sit on their own. I had my son help me and it made it 10x easier so keep that in mind. Overall, a good value and I'll update if there's any issue with the paint the next time I have to use one.

We have been storing a couple dozen cans of paint under my husband's workbench, and every time we needed to pull one up to touch something up around the house it was a huge ordeal. These storage bags let us not only reduce the amount of space necessary to store the paint, but also have an easy solution for using a small amount as needed. We chose the paints we need to pull out most often to fix chips and dings (the hallways, kids bedrooms, kids bathrooms, and kitchen cabinets) so we can get the most use out of the easy access. The label makes it very easy to identify the paint and finish. I know off hand which paint is in which rooms, but I could see people notating the room on the label as well to make it easier to reference. Getting the paint into the bags is definitely a two person job, especially because the included funnel is not very wide. We found that if you poured very very slowly it was totally fine, just took a bit of time for each can. Pro tip: make sure you label the bags before you fill them, it's much easier to write on a flat surface!

This is a neat idea and the bags are decent quality and I like that they have locking lids and can be stood upright once filled. I also like that they don't hold a lot of air so your paint will stay workable for quite a while without drying out or skinning over. This is certainly better than throwing away unused paint or leaving it in a half full can to dry up. This is a great idea but there are some points that need improving. First off this is something where I would highly recommend having an extra set of hands. Trying to do this yourself and pour from a paint can is nearly impossible or at least it is for me. You need someone to hold the funnel and bag and someone to hold and control the can because both are pretty prone to going a direction you weren't expecting if you are trying to coordinate it alone.You get 8 quart bags with sealing lids and the package does come with a collapsible funnel which I found to easily be the weak link in this design. The funnel provided isn't large enough or stiff enough to deal with heavy paint and will collapse to the side or try to fall out of the bag. I would recommend getting a much larger and more rigid funnel like the super cheap ones from the dollar store. Once you have that and a pouring buddy, things will go much smoother. The bags themselves are high quality and seal well. They have a space for labeling. I recommend using a sharpie and writing on them before you attempt to fill them. They are reasonably priced and will pay for themselves easily by preventing the need for you to buy more touch up paint or wasted paint.

I have been fixing up and old, unoccupied family house and I have a lot of paint stored there. I have the additional problem that the house sits empty most of the time, and I don’t heat it during winter. So, I have to keep the paint on the basement floor where the temperature doesn’t get as low, and the closed up basement gets pretty damp at times. Metal paint cans don’t survive for too long in that environment.These storage bags have really helped. I can transfer leftover paint to the bags, squeeze out the air and the paint should last much longer then in the cans. The bags feel thick and sturdy, and the included screw-on funnel works well except that you can’t try to fill the bag too quickly as the thick paint doesn’t go down the funnel very quickly.I like these bags, but there are a couple of things that aren’t perfect. One is that filling the floppy bag through the small funnel is pretty much impossible to do alone. You’ll either need a helper, or rig up a way to hang the bag from the handle to free up both hands for pouring. The other negative is that you can’t stir the paint while it’s in the bag. I found that you can shake the bag and have the paint slosh around inside and that seems to mix it up well enough. But that shaking and sloshing of a floppy bag is kind of fatiguing

I’m currently repainting the interior of my 2000 sq ft home, and I’ve found these storage bags to be fantastic. Previously, I used large glass mason jars for leftover paint, but these bags fit perfectly side by side on my pantry shelf, which is ideal since my garage isn’t climate-controlled and I want to keep the paint at room temperature. Unlike traditional paint containers that can be bulky and take up too much space, the 8-pack of 1-gallon large-capacity paint storage bags provides a practical and efficient solution. These reusable plastic bags are excellent for storing leftover paint from larger projects, making them a great option for both DIY enthusiasts and professionals alike.What sets these bags apart is their ability to remove air completely before sealing, which helps prevent drying and oxidation, ultimately extending the paint's shelf life. Their airtight design is especially advantageous in commercial settings where maintaining paint quality is essential. Additionally, the bags come with a professional twist-on funnel and a wider spout, allowing for quick and mess-free filling, which eliminates the drips and spills that often occur with traditional containers. This thoughtful design enhances the handling of large paint volumes, making the storage and application process much smoother.The bags are made from a transparent, thickened material that allows you to easily see the paint color and how much is left, while the included labels help you stay organized during your projects. Furthermore, these industrial-grade storage bags are not only more robust but also better at resisting pressure compared to standard containers, thanks to their tough, tear-proof, and leak-proof construction. This durability makes them perfect for demanding job sites, ensuring safe and reliable long-term storage for gallon-sized paint.

These are a really good solution for leftover paint. The biggest advantage isn’t even the space savings - it’s being able to get rid of most of the air in the container. With a regular gallon can, once you’re down to a quart or two of paint, you have all that air sitting above it. With these bags, you can squeeze out the excess air before tightening the cap.They also take up considerably less room than a collection of partially empty gallon cans. The bags feel sturdy, the large screw cap makes filling and pouring easy, and the handle is useful once there’s some weight in them. There’s also a good-sized label for writing down the color, room, date, or other information.I have plenty of partially used cans of paint around, and these make a lot more sense for storing what’s left.

After having the house interior painted, I am left with 7 gallons of paint that are half used or more, that I will need to store for touchups for the next couple years. Instead of storing these cans that need to be opened with a screwdriver by prying the lid, and closed by tapping with a rubber mallet or your shoe or whatever is around when you need to close it, I am overjoyed to have found these paint bags. They have a small opening that will be difficult to pour paint into, even with the little collapsible funnel that is included. You are going to need something like a spout or a larger funnel or a big dropcloth and don't wear your favorite shoes to GET the paint into the bags. But once it's in there, you can store them easily and move them around easily with the handle on the top, you can shake the paint easier than in the can, and you can pour out just the amount you need, then squeeze the air out of the top so it doesn't get a skin on it that makes lumps in your paint. The only other issue next to how to get it into the bags is that you can't stack them, they will need to sit upright on a shelf. It can be a high up shelf though, because if these fall on your head you are not going to get a concussion! Altogether an excellent solution even with the minor IQ puzzle of how you get paint into the bag, and the limitations to stacking the bags.

I had six cans of old paint, each less than half full, that were taking up a ton of space. But I needed the paint because they were the exact colors used in different parts of my house, so if I needed a touch-up or we had repairs done, I needed to be able to patch it. These were great for consolidating those cans down to a much smaller space. Now, there are a few watchouts. First, getting the paint INTO these bags was tricky. I didn't get a funnel with the set I received (and I looked pretty thoroughly), but from the photos, it probably wouldn't have been big enough anyway. You need a fairly large funnel because paint doesn't flow as quickly as less viscous fluid. I had an old oil funnel that worked well, but it was a 2-man job. I had to pour the paint (and our old paint cans had 'pourable" lids to help direct the paint) while my partner had to hold the bag. And at less than half-full, the bags still didn't quite stand upright, but that's no biggie. It was easy to squeeze out the air and though I won't be able to stir the paint before using it again, I think I can kind of knead the bag to mix it up enough before pouring some out next time I need it. And while you can't really stack these bags, four of them (none more than halfway full) took up the footprint of a single paint can, and I kind of propped them up by stuffing them between more solid objects and laid the other two, least filled, bags on top. We're only a day in, but so far, no leaking, and all of them take up about the same amount of space as a single can was before!
