Side by Side Comparison of: DayMark Safety Systems vs Ateco vs AmeriColor

 These bags are great! I was looking for disposable pastry bags that wouldn't break the bank - since I just went to a pastry class in Paris that taught me many wonderful recipes - but each one would call for multiple pastry bags in use at one time! And I don't know how easy it is to clean the reusable ones. I was unsure of sizing - so this video shows the 12" one in action - it gives an idea of how much will fit in there, how well it holds up with refills, and how easy the bag is to work with! I like how easy it is to store them, too - since they're on a roll. I will definitely order these again!

NO REGRETS! This thig is so useful, I used mine to make french macarons and I used it also to melt chocolate!

These are worth every penny. Over the last few months we have been honing our skills with pastry bags and these have been great. We used to use one that we had to wash each time but it was hard when we needed multiple colors. They are a great size and easy to use. You can discard when you're done or you could wash and reuse.This size bag is perfect for cupcake decorations but if you're going to decorate a whole cake you may want to think about the 18 inch bag. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009YM776U/ref=aw_cm_cr_asin_lnk

This 18 inch size of the Daymark disposable pastry bags are a good size to choose if you're frosting a batch or two of cupcakes or embellishing a cake. The best part of using these is that there is no messy cleanup like you have when using reusable pastry bags since you just remove your decorating tip or coupler and toss it in the trash when you're done.As with the other pastry bags in this product line, the plastic used is sturdy enough, although not as pliable as the plastic used for food storage bags. They can be used with or without tip couplers, and they can also be used with both the small or large and extra large decorating tips since you cut the small end off the bag to insert the tip or coupler.Keep in mind that the actual in-use size of the bag will be reduced by the amount you cut from the tapered end, so what starts out as an 18 inch bag will actually be shortened by a couple of inches when used. If you're planning on a massive amount of decorating on a large cake, you might prefer the DayMark 115437 21" Hand-E-Grip Pastry Bag with Dispenser (Roll of 100) bags.If you sometimes feel like you could use an extra hand when filling the bag with frosting or pastry for piping, here's a hint that might help. After inserting the tip or coupler into the bag, I fold over about a third of the bag to the outside then place the tip end of the bag into a tall glass with the folded portion hanging outside of the top of the glass. Then you can fill the bag using both hands to hold the mixing bowl of frosting and the spatula or large spoon without trying to steady the bag upright at the same time. This also makes sure you've got enough clean bag material at the top to twist closed to begin piping.Recommended.

I finally decided that with as many cupcakes as I have been making lately it was time for larger piping bags, but I HATE HATE HATE trying to figure out the best way to store them (like I don't have enough baking and crafting stuff to figure out storage for). Enter these awesome piping bags. They are in a box not much different in size than you get plastic zipper bags in which means they fit easily into the drawer with those! The quality of the bags is great, they are thick enough to be durable without being so stiff as to be difficult to maneuver. They have a little bit of texture on the outside that is supposed to help with gripping, I don't know that it does or doesn't help, but it doesn't bother me and it doesn't negatively effect the usefulness of this product at all. I love that I can fill these 18" bags with enough frosting to easily and plentifully frost 9-12 cupcakes at a time without having to refill (as a 12" I was lucky to frost 6 cupcakes with) but my favorite thing has to be how easy these are to store!

These disposable bags are a terrific time saver over the reusable style decorating bags since there is no messy washing and drying to do when you're done.The plastic used is sturdy enough, although not as pliable as the plastic used for food storage bags. They can be used with or without tip couplers, and they can also be used with the large and extra large size decorating tips.Because a small portion of the bag is cut off for the tip or coupler, the size of the bag is reduced by that amount. The bag that starts out at 12 inches ends up being quite a bit smaller in practical use since you must cut the small end for the tip or coupler and need to allow several inches at the wide opening in order to twist the bag closed after filling it halfway with icing. It makes these 12 inch bags the right size for small amounts of frosting, enough for accents and small designs, but not enough to do a whole cake or batch of cupcakes without refilling it several times. Be sure to get the right size for the job at hand. These larger DayMark 115436 18" Hand-E-Grip Pastry Bag with Dispenser (Roll of 100) or DayMark 115437 21" Hand-E-Grip Pastry Bag with Dispenser (Roll of 100) sizes may be more practical depending on your intended use.Recommended.

Bought these a while ago and finally almost finished using them up.These are great! I actually like the finish of the bag. I have small hands so the finish helps me keep a good grip while piping. I found that with other piping bags my hands would always slip.The only reason I'm not giving this 5 stars is it doesn't really dispense nicely out of the box, especially when the roll gets smaller. I actually don't use the box anymore and just tear it from the roll itself. Other than that I will be buying these again soon.

I originally bought these to make umbrella candy favors for my baby shower after seeing them on Pinterest. They worked really well and everyone loved the creativity. I've recently become more interested in baking so I've been using the leftovers to pipe frosting. They are higher quality so I like how well they stand up to being refilled a time or 2. However, they are very sticky and sometimes this makes it harder to fill them. It does make it a little easier to hold onto when you're piping for longer amounts of time, though so it's a catch 22. As an amateur baker I would purchase these again, I have liked them more than Wilton so far which is the only other experience I have so far.

I had ONE cloth pastry bag for a long time and I will tell you that it isn't even a difficult decision to get these. I'm finally able to experiment with frosting colors and flavors without having to wash the bag. It's convenient to use, and it's sturdy! While I appreciate their disposability, I also think I can wash it out and use it once or twice more. I don't even go through the trouble of using my cloth bag anymore.My only which was that there was a general guideline on where to cut. Since I'm switching off of cloth bags, it's hard for me to guess the opening size. I have, on a few occasions, cut too large and frosting leaked out -- but my bad.

I find that the other smaller bags (12-16) just are too small if you are decorating a dozen cupcakes or a regular size cake. These are a great size to do a cake without having to reload on frosting. One and done. I like that they have a slight grip on the outside, so they won't slip when your hands are covered in slipper ingredients. You could wash them and reuse, but with a box of 100, why bother. (Even tho I have done this several times). The only time I used anything smaller (size 12) pastry bag, is when I use it to pipe melted chocolate, or put sour cream in it for taco night.The bags are great and accommodate the regular tips or the large ones, without the coupling. The bags don't stretch a lot so the tips don't push out the tip (at least when I tried it, it didn't). I plan on buying more when I run out of these. But I still have a whole bunch left.

As a professional cake decorator, I have used a lot of pastry bags, and these are one of my favorite.Pros:*The plastic is not too thick and not too thin. Many reviews of this product say that the plastic is too thin or not thick like the Wilton brand- I believe that Wilton is too thick. When you have a bag that is too thick, it can be hard to manipulate, especially if you are working on small detail work like swags, string work, etc.*This is basically the smallest bag on the market- any smaller and you would need to make your own parchment triangles. These are a great size again for smaller detailed work or when you only need a little bit of a particular color/ ingredient.*These tear really easy on the perforations. I don't keep the roll in the box, because I think the box makes it harder to tear- if you just keep your roll out on the counter and tear them off as you need, I have never had one of these tear.*Price- even if you are just a hobby decorator, these are well worth it. A pack of 12 or 16 bags at Walmart or Jo Anns is almost the same price for 100 of these. Best deal I have found for this amount of bags without going through a wholesalerCons:*The seam- the seam of the bag is on the outside, not the inside. I often times use a bag without a tip or a coupler- I just cut the end off (to write or make leaves or whatever), but since the seam is on the outside of the bag, and it goes all the way to the end, there is this weird plastic "tab" that can interfere with your work. Even with a tip, I have found that that plastic seam gets in the way, again, on those smaller detailed jobs.*The box- as I wrote above, just take your roll out of the box because trying to tear it while in the box makes it way harder.

These are nice quality pastry bags. Although I was used to the slippery Wilton bags, I think the tacky finish on these will be easier to use for longer piping tasks. I have not mastered the dispenser feature, and have even reversed the roll direction to see if that would help (the full roll is pretty tight in the box, and the box opening is a bit narrow for easy dispensing). Maybe they will be easier to dispense after I've used several more and the roll gets a little smaller. I was hoping for one bag to be dispensed at a time, but they come out two at a time that have to be separated at the perforation.The plastic doesn't seem as thick as the Wilton brand, but I had no problems with the seam strength. The decorating tips/couplers don't fit straight into the point of the bag, but that didn't affect how the icing flowed. To fill, I insert the empty bag (with tip or coupler) over an empty Pringles can, fold the top couple inches of the bag over the edge of the can, and use a spatula to fill with icing to the rim. This prevents icing from getting in the top of the bag that gets twisted.I will probably buy this brand again.

Update- After using 100 of these bags, I have grown to love them! Frosting consistency can make a big difference in the stiffness. I did not change my recipes, the bags just take some getting used to.These are a lot stiffer than I am used to. I can usually frost a few hundred cupcakes before my wrist begins to hurt however with these piping bags, my wrist starts to feel fatigued after a half dozen. So I probably won't order these again unless I am in a pinch.

I bought these bags when I started to get interested in baking and decorating. They're a great price for the quantity and I love the fact that they're rolled up in a box for easy storage.BUT...after using them for a while and getting more experienced in decorating, they're getting more annoying. The bags are too stiff that it's hard to put the icing into them. There's a trick of putting your piping bag in a glass and filing it over so you can scrap your icing in the bag with ease, but these bags make it so difficult. Yes, it can be done but due to the stiffness, it turns into the mess I tried to avoid by putting in the glass in the first place.

Update: Wow. Never mind. 10 dollars more per box now. Isn't the great deal it was...boo.I found these while searching for disposables, but it was the reviews that gave me the courage to try them. I can see why these are so well-loved. I am frugal (mostly because I hate wasting money) - so I was hesitant to buy these because they were so cheap (7 bucks). However, the price is the only cheap thing about them!! For the first time in a loooong time, I actually feel like I got a great deal on something wonderful.I'm just getting into royal frosting/flood filling cookies, and when I learned bags worked the best for parts of the process, I almost didn't bother because I've had nothing but rotten luck with reusable bags. Of course, being frugal, I hated the thought of disposable bags and saw them as a waste. However, I could never get reusable bags thoroughly clean and stink-free, so I ended up tossing quite a few. And yes - I've tried even the (too!) expensive ones.These bags have a rough'ish texture on the outside so they are very easy to grip and control. Between the grippy feel and the size, they were MUCH easier to handle than my reusables. Bonus: They stay upright when filling!! Can't tell you how many times I've had bags flop over - as if on purpose - just as a big blob of frosting was hurling downward. These stood tall and I was able to get almost every bit of icing out of my bowl without having to catch the bag. Genius!Keep in mind they are only 12" (and that's not leaving any room for closing the top), but they are so cheap and so easy to fill that it's worth filling 2 to frost a cake.I experimented and snipped the very tip off a bag and was able to push my edging icing through my (smallest) writing tip (without using a coupler) and the bag didn't split. Doing this with zip freezer bags was often risky business.The box is a thing of beauty. It does dispense 2 bags at a time, but you can just stick the second bag back in the box if you only need one. Not much thought required there. The best thing is - it's no bigger than a sandwich bag box so it is easy to store! (Space in my kitchen is very limited, so this is extremely important to me.)This is definitely another basic stock item in my arsenal of cookie/cake decorating supplies. (Much to my husband's dismay.)

These are handy, but they have a weird shape. The top part (where you fill the frosting, is more narrow than the middle of the bag, making it a bit difficult to get the frosting in the bag without making a mess. Usually cut the bags down. They end up being smaller, but easier to fill. Probably won't buy again.The bags are a good thickness- haven't torn yet.

It's quite possible that I'm using these wrong but I've had a hard time with them. They're a pretty stiff plastic so trying to turn them down and fill them is frustrating and messy. I do wish I'd gotten a bigger size but I don't think that's the entire problem. I'm used to using the canvas ones that fill a lot easier but you can run into bacteria issues with them. Overall, everyone else seems to love them so it's probably user error. I'd recommend going with a bigger size unless you know you need the 12".

I like this brand. Because the bag is thick and tough. But this bag is more narrow than wilton's disposable pastry bag(12"). I have 18" one. I recommend to buy 18" one than 12".

these are NARROW and hold barely any frosting for a size 12" in comparison to the wilton 12" bags.

I have used many, many piping bags over the course of the last few years. Sadly, this brand in my opinion was one of the lesser quality items. I was disappointed at the overall lack of quality. These bags just did not do very well with thicker buttercream. The bags were almost flimsy if that makes any sense. I prefer Wilton brand over these (and that says a lot because Wilton brand bags are not that great to begin with). I would not recommend these bags.

Very thick plastic and not playable

The packaging was great however, the product has a large overhang where the seal is on the side of the bag which makes it difficult to decorate small items like cookies.

I bought these to make "carrots". They have a waxy feel and smell.

I have purchased these a couple of times. Every time they are the same. They have a nasty, gritty feeling on the outside that makes you feel the bags are dirty. I don't like that at all. I always end up washing down the outside of the bag before using.

I've been buying these bags for years. I have a baking business and they were my go to brand. They have significantly chaneed the quality and now when I tear the bag from the roll, it makes a whole and unusable. Looking for a new company.

I do not like these bags and I can't wait to use them all up. The plastic has a strange coating on it which makes it very slippery. I can't explain it, but it makes it hard to handle once I add the frosting in the bag. I will never buy this brand again, sorry.

Not what I expected at ALL, if I knew that it was a roll of single usage baking bags with no mouthpiece, and for that price, I would NEVER have buy it!

Bags are too small, but I could deal with that. It's the material. No flex and sticks to the fill container to the point you can't work it on and off quickly. They are also slightly angled which is not good for perfect pressure.

I have found better quality bags for about the same money. These were not awful but priced to high for what they are

The bagage have a odd shape And they feel a little dusty to the touch! But they do the job And are a great value for the money.Excuse my whriting Im dutch!
