Best bags on the market

I've tried many compostable bags. HoldOn bags are by far the best. They're sturdy, they don't tear or disintegrate quickly when wet compostable foods are put in them. All in all, I love this brand's bags!

We use several of the zipseal bags each day for sandwiches and lunch snacks. The bags work great, are sturdy, and hold food well. We are a HoldOn household and love all the products!

So happy with these!

Other compatible bags I've tried just doesn’t work. HoldOn bags are great, don't leak and freeze well. I'm so glad I have an alternative so I can officially break up with traditional plastic baggies!

Questions, out of the bag

What are HoldOn bags made from?

HoldOn bags are made with plant-based & compostable materials. PLA increases strength, Cornstarch (non-GMO) helps the bags to break down in a compost setting, PBAT expedites the process & Calcium Carbonate slows down moisture absorption (13g only).

What testing and certifications does HoldOn Bags have?

HoldOn bags are TUV OK Home Compost certified (with the exception of our 13g bags) & all HoldOn bags are certified by BPI (Biodegradable Products Institute) under the ASTM D6400 standards for industrial composting. HoldOn is also a Certified B Corp.

Do I need to compost HoldOn bags?

HoldOn bags are designed to reduce traditional plastic waste, no matter how you take out the trash. If you want to compost your bags, use an industrial compost service (where available) or compost them at home (for home compostable certified bags).

Are HoldOn bags nontoxic?

We're proud to use food-safe materials that are made without harmful toxins like BPA or PFOA. Additionally, HoldOn bags do not undergo fluorination at any stage in development or production, and are both BPS & BSE certified free.

Can I use my zipseal bags for food prep in the fridge and freezer?

Yes! Our food-safe zipseal bags are fridge & freezer-safe. For optimal freshness, close the zipseal tightly to prevent moisture build-up inside the bag. For marinading, place a plate underneath the bag to capture any excess moisture or condensation.

How should I store my HoldOn bags?

For optimal strength and performance, we recommend storing your bags in a cool, dry area away from heat and places that could allow for moisture build-up. We also recommend using your bags within 6 ~ 9 months of purchase.

What is your return policy?

We offer a hassle-free return policy within 60 days from the delivery date for a full refund to your original form of payment. If for any reason you are not satisfied with your purchase, send us an email to hello@holdonbags.com.
