Ateco 4718 Disposable Decorating 18 Inch Reviews Summary

Texture and Feel

Pros:

• "Easy to use, dispensing from roll is a bit fussy but a non issue for my purposes."
• "Oddly, but in a good way, the plastic is slightly grippy, which makes them so easy to use if you get filling or cream on your hands."
• "I love these. They are not flimsy like some of the others I have tried."
• "These bags are nice and strong but I struggle getting past the sticky residue on the outside."
• "These bags are by far the best disposable bags I have ever purchased."
• "These bags are perfect for writing or detail work, they are strong and so easy to use."
• "These bags are great quality!!!! No busting."

Cons:

• "Should have believed the other reviews about the poor surface of these bags."
• "When I opened the box of piping bags it’s dusty inside."
• "Very sticky. They come out as a roller. Stuck together like pillsbury crescent rolls."
• "The bags are a weird 'sticky' on the outside that make it hard to push frosting down the tip."
• "Once I unrolled the bag it had an adhesive film on the outside."
• "They have a sort-of rubbery/tacky texture that I hated the feeling of on my hands."
• "The roll was stuck together and had a sticky, tacky feel to them."

Usability and Design

Pros:

• "I love how big the bags are!"
• "Ateco’s 18-inch disposable decorating bags are easy to use and load."
• "I love the roll dispenser. This size is great for most cake decorating needs."
• "They have a very clear bag that makes it easy to see your frosting or whatever you have in your bag."
• "These are the best bag and the best price."
• "I mainly ordered these to use for getting thicker mixes into popsicle molds."
• "The inside of the bags are smooth and make it easy to fill the bags with frosting."

Cons:

• "The packaging is a little frustrating at times."
• "They are a little bit lighter so if you are like me and normally wash and reuse a couple times, these won't hold up."
• "I usually have no problem with Ateco products, but this box of bags was horrible."
• "I do not like these bags in the roll style. They have seemed lip which is a hassle with putting a tip on the bag."
• "The plastic is sticky and hard to use."
• "Same dirty/sticky residue covered the outside of every bag."
• "I cannot utilize the box to tear the perforated bags."

Durability and Quality

Pros:

• "These bags are strong and do the job. I never had one break."
• "These are sturdy bags and yes they are a little sticky for gripping."
• "These worked perfectly for my needs and were a bargain price."
• "Large and will pipe over 18 cupcakes (as oppose to 4-5 with store bought bags)."
• "These are great bags! I bought them for the cake shop and like the feel of them!"
• "The bags are awesome. Very sturdy. No rips from squeezing too hard."
• "These are very sturdy but they don't hold enough for a single recipe of buttercream frosting."

Cons:

• "Very cheap bags. They broke easily when using piping tips after a few uses."
• "Also have a weird tacky feeling when holding them."
• "Worse than that is the tacky feeling while trying to handle the bag."
• "These bags do not 'pop up' free from the one after it. One has to rip the bag lengthwise to use."
• "They are definitely more suited to cookie decorating as the open end of the bag is fairly narrow."
• "These do have a large seam. So you cant use them for tipless detailing."
• "I would not buy these bags again. They are a series of rectangles cut on the diagonal so the opening is not round, but oblong."
