Best for: A kitchen that seals a lot of small things and hates wasting wide film.
Three widths, and a thickness on the label
Nine rolls across three widths — 5.9, 7.9 and 11 in (15, 20 and 28 cm), each 9.8 feet — with a published thickness of 190 microns from a seven-layer coextruded film. Omtofo states BPA-free, reusable material suitable for the microwave and for sous-vide.

The number that matters, and the reason to look at these rather than cheaper film. 190 µm across a seven-layer coextrusion, which Omtofo states is soft, flexible and puncture-resistant.
Thickness is what stands between a bone edge and a lost seal on a twelve-hour bath. The Amazon Basics rolls in this hub publish no thickness at all.
5.9, 7.9 and 11 inches (15, 20 and 28 cm), each 9.8 feet (3 m) long — nine rolls, about 89 feet in total. Matching the width to the food is where film is saved: a single fillet in an 11.8 in roll wastes half of it lengthways.
9.8 feet per roll is short, though. The Amazon Basics rolls run to 19.7.
BPA-free, reusable, microwave-safe, and suitable for sous-vide and for all kinds of vacuum sealing equipment.
A temperature range for the material, and any distinction between external and chamber sealers. As always in this category, the sealer type is the first thing to establish — an external machine needs film it can draw a channel through.
Amazon.com lists these rolls under the same reference, but the listing carries no title and shows them as currently unavailable. The rolls and bags in this site’s vacuum bags hub that are sold there — FoodSaver, Syntus, Wevac, Wonzlling and xinbaolong — are the ones to compare.
It is the film thickness, and it is the specification that decides whether a bag survives a bone, a frozen edge or a long bath. Omtofo publishes it alongside a seven-layer coextruded construction; the Amazon Basics rolls in this hub publish no thickness at all.
Because sealing a single fillet in an 11.8 in (30 cm) roll wastes film on both sides. Omtofo supplies 5.9, 7.9 and 11 in (15, 20 and 28 cm) so the width can match the food — one roll of 5.9 in, and the rest split between the two larger sizes.
