I want to seal a fabric product with a handheld FreshSaver. Do these bags have a port of any kind to vacuum air out? Are they clear? Can cut?

These bags have no air port. They are for vacuum sealing food for freezing.

It's not a bag until the machine makes it a bag then only the machine can vacuum it, no port, clear on one side only, easy to cut!!

No attachments im aware of. We use this exclusively for food, they are clear, have pattern on them cam be use only with machine

You would basically cut the size you want. Seal one end, then add your item and the food saver will remove the air and the seal the bag.

Cut to side, then you seal one end with the heat sealer, the place food in the bag, and put the open end in the sealer. The sealer sucks the air out before it heat seals the end. Each foodsaver is a little different so follow the directions, it's pretty easy.

I don't think the're airtight but the ones I have are defective. The "zip strip" is not attatched to both sides of the bag, so they don't seal at all. I havepurchased these big zip bags for a few years now and have some old ones here but these are manufactured wrongly.

I didn't get an image to your question so I think you are asking about the Ziploc Storage bags, if so they stay sealed for almost forever, you can unseal and reseal, they are the best!

I have never used mine on a trip to pack to come home. Once I open them after storing items for seasonal changes I discard them. I have found them to be very hard to reseal again and get a good vacuum seal after the initial use. I had one, with blankets and a quilt lose it's seal and was beyond it's usefulness. I would imagine if you were using a new bag in your hotel room you could call the front desk and ask them to borrow a vacuum with a hose attachment. Hope this helps.

It is not easy to vacuum seal Mylar bags but it can be done. I insert a very thick straw into the bag with the tube for the lid sealer attached to take the air out. There are some good YouTube demos on the procedure. I also use a flat iron to seal most of the bag so that only the straw space is not sealed when I begin to remove the air.

I sent these back as soon as I got them. you could seal if the bags don't have a slit down the side.

I don't know if the seal-a-meal will work. I use a vacuum sealer but I remember reading that other bags can be used but make sure and get out as much air as possible.

Your Foodsaver will require a port to install the vacuum hose. It's a small round hole in the top of the Foodsaver. If there is no hole, the vacuum cannot be hooked up. Just as an aside, the Foodsaver jar sealers will work with the small handheld Foodsaver vacuum. I use both every day and have zero problems with them.

I have not used these bags for traveling, but have used them to store my granddaughters clothes as she outgrows them. They are not vacuum bags, just large Ziploc bags. They do not swell if they open. They just are open like a plain Ziploc bag. They are a little difficult to get zipped since they are so large. It takes a few minutes of getting the zipper aligned. It works best if you don't try to overload them.

Probably not. They are smooth bags that do not have the channels that most other vacuum sealer bags need to be able to suck the air out of the bags.

Yes, you can vacuum seal a Mylar bag! It takes a little practice to get good at it but it can be done. See my note below and/or watch a YouTube demo. I have bags sealed in the spring of 2013 that have no air inside. Adding an oxidizer as someone else suggested is good idea.

they have sealers, but i just use an iron. place bag in bucket and fill , leaving enough room to seal, about 4-5 in. place a wooden dowel under bag, and seal from BOTH ends leaving a small opening to put in the oxygen absorbers. push out remaining air and finish sealing. the bags will end up looking as if there is no air in bag.

No, the vacuum hole on those clothes bags are made for the diameter of a regular vacuum hose. This has a nozzle that is smaller and concave like a suction cup.

Yes you can just seal s bag, just hit the seal button once you insert the bag. I have never tried using regular bags, but I think they would be too thin and not melt properly, and possibly ruin the vacuum slot. Not recommended by Foodsaver.

Cut a length from the roll the size that you wi8sh to make. Place one of the open ends on the bar that makes makes the seal(do not place the ends in the vacuum tray only on the part that creates the seal). Close down as you would to seal a bag. Check to make sure you have a proper seal. Place food in bag and seal as you would for a vacuum seal. Easy peasy!
