Are these 5mil pouches really folded (seamed) on the long side as described "The lengthwise seam..."?

No, they meet at the top edge, I do not recommend them compared to Swingline, we ended up not using them as the laminated paper curls and the finish is not as clear as the Swingline.

These pouches are seamed on the short side like the 8 1/2" (width) side of a sheet of printer paper.

They are sealed on the short edge. I just looked as I had yet to open the box.

I do not know if there are other options but the box I purchased was folded along the short side.

Many thanks... It seemed rather odd as most machines accept paper the narrow way and having the closed edge on the side would I think cause wrinkling and just generally bad feed through.

No. Mine is mid-back length & there is no empty space @ the end of the "pouch".

Mine weren't that slow to arrive as I recall and are a great size for travel when folded up. They open to 18 full inches; could probably hold 3 or so dry summer shirts to drop out wrinkles, one dripping wet one to dry. Not recommended for any full, thick winter coat or a large man's heavy suit jacket. "Might" hold but "might" snap....not sure about this. Wouldn't risk it, back of a chair would be better for such items. For me, they're perfect. Only you will know if they suit you & yours. Hope this helps!

My doctor said do not fold them down. I am also 5 ft. I just pull them up almost to my knees.

If you stand facing the pouches, they are configured as follows: The left pouch is 9" tall, 4" wide, and about 2 1/2" deep (front to back). To the right of that pouch are three more pouches. The two on the top measure 5" tall, 3" wide, and 2" deep (front to back). These two pouches have Velcro flaps over the top opening. Beneath the two pouches is another pouch that is 6" tall, 7" wide, 1" deep, with a zipper top flap. None of the pouches would hold a manuscript nor a laptop.

I love the bag. There are three 11" X 3" clear pouches and three 3 1/2" by 2 1/2" clear pouches. The pouch folds over (tri-fold) into a 12" by 5 1/2" bag. I took it to China and it carried everything I needed for a month. (I was on a job so I needed a variety of jewelry.)

I found that if you keep the bags folded when you store them, they keep the fold lines and its fairly easy to follow them. Kinda like folding a map. If that doesn't work, I guess you could fold them almost any way you wanted as long as the Velcro lined up. The pocket, it's for anything you aren't worried about falling out, it's a little useless.

The extend/retract specification is 4" , however in reality mine are 4 1/4". As to the fold , both ways front or back. I am pleased with this purchase and the product.

It took me awhile to figure it out --- you actually need to fold the sides in the opposite direction that they sit in their flat stored position. If you look at the emblem on the bag butler, and read the directions (look at the emblem's location in the pictures) -- then it's easy to figure out.

They were for me. I ordered two of them and they were folding, just like it says in the description.

I have bought several of these pouches and they are positively worth it. They are 8" tall and 6" wide and 4" deep. I have used them as an IFAC bag and as a stand alone mini survival pouch for my car. It has roll bandage holders and slip behind dividers. I think for the money you can't go wrong.

folded size is not large at all equivalent to shipped size folds or collapses relative to terminology

If not used, I believe so. Mine have squashed and been folded now, and are still comfortable, but not uniformly puffy as they were when new. Hope that helps.

Sorry, I gave them away right after I purchased them... They were a gift. They do fold, but not in a extra compact way. They are nice, so you should keep the box to protect them.

I use the pouches from Wal Mart. I think they are 3m. No complaints. This is a good unit. We use it at work a lot. It heats up in about a minute. No complaints so far

They actually are like 1 3/4 credit cards deep. They reach a bit lower than the bottom of the flap of the large cargo pocket. Sorry I didn´t have a ruler at hand. And like Brian I own 3 pairs. Love these things as my travelling and work pants!

Mine is 27 1/2 inches long. The company may not make them to certain specs. I just came back from a trip and did not have any trouble. Maybe some people are trying to rip the zippers open. You do need to be careful and take your time!
