I found this didn't work as well for me; even using "brand name" bags,
I found that I wasn't completely sealing bags-of-1x2-tiles and such. Also,
the bags aren't holding up well now five years later. I think they'll
be more useful as I add more sorts of containers to my storage.

The Hefty One Zip bags seal very positively. The Ziploc Slideloc bags
don't always seal so well. I use freezer weight bags, which I hope will
last several years (though some have been damaged by getting jammed as a
drawer was opened, causing the corner of a brick to slice the bag open.
The bags without the slider are definitely harder to get a perfect seal.
