I have a 12' sealer, do I need 12' bags

If your bags are wider, you can cut them down and seal the edge. If they are narrower, they are usable. You'll probably only seal one end, and your bags won't go the full width of the sealer. It'll be fine!

you may use any width of bag up to and including 12" bags. I don't know about those 12 footers though :)

No you can use bags smaller but not wider than the sealing service. I suspect you meant 12" not 12'.... lol

The sealer will work with UP to 12", so anything less than that will work just fine. I make half-size bags for small stuff.

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.

I had some trouble with these sealing. I used this brand and never had an issue Sure Luxury Vacuum Sealer Bags, 8 Inch by 50 Feet Roll

I own the 8 inch sealer and love it. The heating strip is actually an 8 inch strip. I use mine for 6 inch bags. It's a good investment

The bags are not pre cut so you can make any size bag. We use this vacuum sealer for freezing meats and fish. I am very happy with it. Very easy to use.

I think it will work fine for that but you might want a longer sealer like the 8". I use it one 1 power for 2mm poly bags and it goes up to 10 power so you should be in good shape.

We use 1 mil poly bags, but look at the details to see which bags can be used in each sealer. I like Uline's Impulse sealers the best!

I haven't measured but I would think the difference would be minimal. We had trouble with these bags not holding a vacuum after we sealed them. I wasn't too impressed.

Somewhere between 18 and 24 inches, I think. You could make extensions; The seal would just need to be air tight.

No. I have and older Food Saver 500 that we have used for years. These bags are "thin" and actually tend to melt through causing seal to leak. Other bags at 3 mil or 4 mil thicker are much better. They work best on our machine. I guess if you have a machine that doesn't heat the seal that much then it might be okay.

We use the standard 13 gallon bags from Sam's Club. They are a little tight around the top, but they work and you don't have go around finding special sized bags.

If you're degassing a gel or carbonating using the vacuum sealer you don't need a bag, but you will need something to conntain the liquid with a depth at least 3 times the volume otherwise it will suck your fluid gel into the air chamber, and it is difficult to clean at that point

I think you can use them because the bags are just like rival bags and I also use Rival vacuum sealer bags in mine.

I bought an 18 inch bag and it is huge. I would say for home use a 12 inch would be enough

Can't say for all sealers but they do work well with Food Saver. I've had NO problems with these bags sealing even with reuse over & over.

Absolutely, then go on amazon and buy cheap vacuum sealer bags, they are less than half the cost and work just as well.

With the rolls you decide what length you need. You may not need all of the bag or the bag might be just a little short, as you do need room for the sealer to work. I like the rolls so I have control of how much it will hold. As far as economical, I think the bags may be a little more, and I like to having the option of a longer bag, if I need it, by making my own.
