Great size for freezing small portions
I picked up this single-pack 6" roll just to see how it would work for me. I'm usually only cooking for one or two people, so I often buy the family-/army-sized packages of things like pork/lamb chops, steaks, ground meats, etc and then repackage them into more convenient single-portion sizes that I can freeze and grab out as I need them.
The pre-made pint-size bags were usually a good width for this, but often longer than necessary - so a fair bit of wasted bag material. (1/4 pound of ground beef looks positively pitiful in a pint bag. :-) I figured the 6" roll was the same width as a pint bag, and since I could cut it to length I hoped it might work better for my mini-portions. And it's worked great - I actually just went and ordered the six-pack version of these rolls.
Possible downside for some is that unlike the Foodsaver-brand continuous rolls there's no white labeling area pre-printed on these Univen rolls. Personally I find freezer tape works better...
