I just figured you said 28 grams because that's what your scale reads. Due to past business practices I immediately recognized this as being an ounce.
It is the rough equivalent of a US ounce. However, it is a more precise measurement because my scale will read to the nearest 1/8 ounce or 1 gram. My recipes all have hops in grams to account for differences in scaling or process or AA levels, so I usually open a bag or two and then reseal what is left. I usually use one or two ounces of hops when I dry hop though, so it is convenient to just open one or two bags and dump them in.
I keep my bulk hops in the original bag. After I open it, I just put the whole silver bag into a large vacuum sealed bag. When I need more, I just open it, measure the amount, and reseal. They take up less freezer space that way.

+1 I do this.
