These vacuum sealers will seal almost anything. I regularly use cheap quart zip lock type freezer bags from the dollar store. I cut the zipper part off with scissors put a serving of food in, fold a pleat in the opening and vacuum and seal perfectly.

Buy small bags (quart size). Depends how small your food is, starting place the food on the bottom of the bag, shake the bag, then begin to do your sealing process. You then can place the new load in the same procedure and seal. You now have your food stack or lined up in separate compartments but one bag. The food then can be trimmed to separate them or leave it in one bag then freeze them

Sure, use the 8 inch roll and just be sure to cut off enough to seal both ends.

I buy the rolls & cut them the size I need them. Just be careful not it too small or it doesn't have enough room to close and seal. Learned that the hard way. Hope this helps

If your using a tall 12" bag (for example) seal the top closed without anything in it. Now you have a sealed bag on both ends. Cut the bag MidWay in half. You now have 2 smaller 6" bags to work with. Fill bag, seal it and ready to go is the other half...Hope it helps!

You can cut the bag in half or to fit the item you are vacuum sealing. Then just seal the open end(s) before vacuum sealing. Hope this helps.

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.

The bags are not made to be resealed. I put my product into food grade 5 gallon buckets with lids. I suppose you could roll the bag down to the product and use something like a potato chip bag clamp, only of larger size to hold it

it can seal anything as long as you use the food saver bags, I once sealed cash to go to mexico wo I wouldn't have a big bulk pack

there are actually heat and seal rolls you can get- those are like, a thousand times better. you can make it whatever size, and then no need to vent, you can pop them in the microwave without slitting them. I really didn't like these bags because they sometimes didn't seal well and I couldn't always tailor them to the size I needed.

Yes, you have to leave a 0.5 in between the items so they can be sealed around the edges.

I just folded the top over and clipped it shut. I was just thinking the other day I ought to take out a small jar full to use and use my vacuum sealer to seal up the rest. There's so much in the bag!

You can use a vaccuum. Not all the seals hold, though. I'd say generally about 70% of these bags stay sealed. Still, they stay sealed long enough to pack them into a box for moving or storage.

I purchased my rolls of bags from http://www.pmgquality.com/productCat90502.ctlg. They have work well for me. But it depends on what you are sealing. Check out the videos on this site or on Utube for more info.

Yes you can. I suggest double seal on both ends.Also I suggest food saver bags, some other brands are just not up there in quality. The price difference is well worth it.

Not sure what the seal a meal is. You can make the bags any length you would like them but the width remains the same. I only ordered the wider rolls since we never used the smaller rolls much. I suppose you could change the width of the bags by cutting and sealing them to fit your needs. I would check with the seller to be certain. I can tell you the bags are the cheapest I found, arrive very quickly w/o paying for fast delivery and I am completely satisfied with the purchase. Will DEFINITELY order from them again.

You can twist the bag and wrap the twisted section through the cardboard ring at the top, as far as I can tell the don't seal.

Not at all since we've had it. to be honest though when we use it, it's usually only a few items we'll seal so not a lot of bags in a row.

The best way I've found is using a hair straightener. You can get one at Walmart for less than $15. It clamps down perfectly on the bag and seals it immediately.

It would br difficult with the bags BUT you can buy the attachment that seals jars ... That would work

Use a grocery size bag that is thick and durable like the bags used at Target. Avoid the thin bags.

The key to getting a good seal is if the bag is not filled completely. I just squeeze the air out and roll the top over a couple of times and I get a perfectly dry seal every time.
