Two new families of minimal balance surfaces are described. Their surface patches are not finite but have the shape of infinite strips. Such a strip is bounded by two congruent zigzag lines in one case or by a zigzag line and a meander line in the other case. In addition, certain minimal balance surfaces derived before with the aid of finite surface patches can also be generated from infinite strip-like surface patches.
