Do these bags seal good enough to be able to ship honey in? Can you seal the bag with a gallon of liquid in them?

I have not tried to use them with liquids, but I can say they are tough and if I had a reason to use them with liquid, I would not hesitate. I can say I feel they are very good quality and have held up very well to the storage uses I have used them for. I sealed dry goods then "stuffed" as many as I could into 5 gallon buckets with a lid for long term food food storage. I have not had any problems using them.

If sealed properly, these bags will not come unsealed. Personally, I prefer to make a wide seal. I do not think you could do a gallon of liquid in this bag and be able to seal properly because it is liquid. I would put your honey in another container then seal.

You may want to put the honey in a multipe seal Glad type bag first before putting it in a Mylar bag. If the bag is packed so that it is free from pressure, it may be OK. Make sure both are well sealed.

Idk. I've been having trouble with mine. The bags aren't holding a seal. They must have holes and I only used them once.

Yes, they do seal because they come with a removable silicone ring. Jus an FYI, if you put Splenda in one of your canisters, don't use the seal because Splenda will become hard as a rock if a drop of moisture is present.

No, I don't think so because then it wouldn't adequately seal. Try putting warm water to the indentation in the bowl and set the dispenser in it for several minutes. It will heat the honey and then it will come out quickly and easily.

I second JarCie's reply. As for sealing items with fluids (e.g. fresh meat) I suggest having a bit longer bag then watching the flow of fluids. As they approach the sealing area, press "seal" to stop the suction and commence sealing. This ensures a good seal.

You need special containers unless you want to seal the jar in an air tight plastic bag but I would not because after time, these bags leak air.

They are 33 gallon bags, so I would say yes. They really are quite generous in terms of what they will hold. And strong, too.

Unfortunately, these are not self-sealing. I seal my packages with shipping tape, which is a bit challenging without an extra hand! Am considering purchasing the self-sealing pack next time.

Hi, I LOVE this product! I normally use 2 1- gallon freezer bags. They freeze wonderfully and stay fresh in the fridge for weeks if they last that long:)

Yes, most definitely. I think these are at least 13 gallon bags, but I'm not sure about that.

I did this before when I got the bags, this time I ordered it they came in larger jars. If you do get the bags instead, just store them in a ziplock bag after you open them. I did this and they did not go bad.

Dear J, I use different brands of food saver bags with my unit. As long as the bags are designed for vacuum sealing you should be fine. Enjoy!

Yes, that should do it. Try to make sure when you open it that you don't rip/tear the bag but a nice cut just under the seal would be the best. Then just use a hot iron to reseal being careful not to over heat the bag.

Hmm, interesting. Just a guess but if you're thinking dry mix in the bags, they probably won't. Mix it thin, good amount of water, then into the bags, it could seep through enough to stitch them together. Test it first, to see what works.

I have not used them with the Foodsavrr, but would expect that they would work. The problem that I ser, is that if there is any liquid in the bag at the time of sealing my could get sucked into the machine.

The Vacupack Elite has been able to seal any brand bag I've tried. There are really good deals on bags on Amazon. However, when I run low on bags I buy whatever the local stores offer. It's still the best sealer I've ever used. BTW, I've sealed zippered bags before, too just to see how it would do it without melting through the bag. Just turn the temp down. I still recommend bags designed for sealing.

I sent these back as soon as I got them. you could seal if the bags don't have a slit down the side.
