Can this bag be heated sealed

Very doubtful. The bag seems to be made of the same material as a Zip-Loc bag and I'm reasonably certain it would melt if heat were applied to it.

I have not tried to seal a wet bag. I used a paper towel to clean/dry the inside of the bag where I'm going to make the seal. Works fine.

It is not resealable. I have a vacuum sealer, so I put what I was going to use in a jar and resealed the rest in vacuum bag. You can freeze it after opening in a regular ziplock too.

No this is not an air tight sealed bag. It is a storage bag and works well for this especially if you hang a moisture absorbent pack in side.

A hot iron works great. Place the end of the bag on a flat surface, we used a wooden cutting board, make sure it is smooth and run the iron over it. Seals easily.

Hello, All Mylar bags must be heat-sealed to be effective. There are a few ways of doing this but I think the most common is to simply use a household iron. I have also heard of using a hair iron, which should work as long as it gets hot enough. The recommended sealing temperature is 400 degrees. They sell impulse sealers that work well but are not really worth it unless you plan on sealing a lot of bags. We usually recommend you rotate your food supply every year or two by actually using it. However, when properly sealed, low moisture food like you are storing can stay fresh indefinitely as it is protected from oxidation, bugs, light, mold, and oxygen dependent organisms. If you plan on extended storage, be sure to use quality American Mylar as small holes in the foil layer can let oxygen in whether the bag has been punctured or not, no matter how thick the entire laminate material is. A Long-Term Food Storage Guide is included with PackFresh products and you are always welcome to send us your questions as well. Have a great day!

Yes any plastic lined foil bag. Coffee, chips, etc Adjustable heat. Have not tried but on high heat, I see no problem to weld 4 layers. Good unit.

Not unless it's sealed in plastic....BUT, it is very water resistant with DuPont Teflon or some other water RESISTANT coating making it an ideal bag for most conditions other than being under water or sprayed directly with a hose.They make great bags and tried a knock off...I finally got my 2 different bags about a month ago and couldn't be happier.They've already been to Jamaica!

You can, but I would seal what's inside in a zip lock freezer bag. Make sure the box is upright otherwise it would collapse under pressure. I wouldn't burry it to deep.

yes... anything you froze before, and put in foil & a ziplock bag, before throwing in the fridge, you can seal w/the vacumm... liquids, like soup, need to be frozen to the point of being solid or the vacumm will suck up the liquid causing it not seal properly. home-made tv dinners or small portions of food can be sealed. they even have lids that go on jars that can seal dried foods, etc. meats you have done in a smoker, or foods you have grilled... it's great. no freezer burn.

Yes, you can heat seal without vacuuming. You do need to use the Foodsaver bags.

You may have already got your answer, but hopefully this will help. Ziplock (reg.) bags will not work, but any other heat-sensitive bag will. The heat element that the unit uses to seal the bag, needs to have a material that will respond to the heat that it supplies to secure a viable seal. That doesn't seam too clear, I hope you understand.

This came to me in a sealed bag. Once you open it, it must be put into a jar or tupperware. The bag is not resealable

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.

I've not done this personally, but see no reason why it would not be possible. depending on the moisture content, you may need to clean the new cut edge and get it dry for a proper vacuum seal again, but as long as you had adequate bag remaining for the new seal you should be able to easily re-seal the contents as if it was a freshly filled bag.

No it does not come with a heat resistant bag, I think you can purcahse those separately.
