Do these need to be vaccum sealed after opening?

Honestly, I keep mine inside of the original bag and inside a large jar with a very secure lid.
2050337
No, not to my knowledge. I did, however put them in a canning jar with a new lid.

I have stored them at room temperature in a ziplock bag with most of the air hand pressed out. I've made two batches of syrup and they seem absolutely fine.

I didn't vacuum seal them but put them in sealed mason jars. the bad you receive hem in actually isn't vacuum sealed either. I used half when I got them and the other half about 2 months later and they were still great.

I don't see why they would since they are dried. Mine aren't, they are just inside another bag in my cupboard.
2050341
No, not necessarily. They can be stored in airtight container until next use. They are very dry. I've had mine for months stored this way..

I have not vacuum sealed them. I store the original bag they came in, in a freezer zip lock bag, in the freezer and they are still fresh after one month.

Yes, they are. However, I still sealed everything up with a mylar bag before putting on the lid. They are very high quality buckets/lids that seal up very tight and once sealed, have a one time use pull strip to open them again. The lids will go on again without the pull strip...but I wouldn't think it would be air tight without that strip.

They are sealed units -- technical they should stay like that for ever. I buy them once in several months, and seem to work fine.

no and they are vaccum sealed. i usually put some in my vanilla bottle for even more flavor.

No. They are not vacuum packed. Just store them in a dry place until ready to use. For long term storage, just seal in mylar or a glass jar with an O2 absorber and they will last 3,000 years in a basement... anything below ground for a stable temperature year round.

Yes, you can. But just push the seal button and open the unit after about 5 to 7 seconds. No vacuum.

If you get them sealed properly they are very good at keeping a good seal. There is a little plastic tool on the front that one uses to seal with. I love mine;=.

don't know. I used mine right away but they appeared to be wrapped up tightly and everything sealed.

They come in vacuum sealed individual packages, I cannot find any information on shelf life.

Yes, I believe so. When I bought them they were in the honeywell box and had the plastic vacuumed sealed on the filters.

No. Only refrigerate after opening. However, I like them better cold, but it's not necessary.

They are not individually sealed. You need to seal the absorber each time you use one

Yes totally sealed, I've submerged them multiple times in salt water with no problem.

I keep them in a cabinet unopened until I am ready to use them. Once opened I store them in the refrigerator in a closed container.

Yes, I always pull out the sealed bag a bit, maybe 1/4 or 1/2 inch, and seal again to make sure it is sealed for sure. I've had just one seal not heat well and there goes the vacuum and the food!

it is vacuum packed and i have never been able to keep these long enough to know if it would freeze, but one would think that 'yes' the product could be frozen after opening

Yes, but not all will seal as tightly as they initially did. The travel bags they come with are reusable though as they don't need a vacuum to seal. (You just rolls those.)
