Will it seal the ends of a plastic straw? I want to fill the straws with products to make "travel sizes".

I haven't tried anything other than edible oblate discs. It's an inexpensive machine, so perhaps buy it and try it out. I'm interested in your final product, as well. What are you making?

The straws do not have a wider lip at one end. However, they are sturdy and not sure how it would fall out. I hope you are not disappointed. I love my straws and plastic straws are no longer an option. Peace.

I bought these and I would say that it works for regular straws and if you intend to use it for bubble tea, the lids work for the bigger straws as well for the boba to fit through. I have used both straws for this cup and both work fine. :)

it can seal anything as long as you use the food saver bags, I once sealed cash to go to mexico wo I wouldn't have a big bulk pack

I used the plastic seal that was suggested on Amazon, but I am sure a wax seal would work too

Hi Kay, I just went and shoved one in a beer bottle. It fits in with about 1/2 inch sticking out the top. I'm not sure what you are planning on using these for. But they are very tapered, so they wouldn't seal something completely for long term. I used them for making decorative wine bottle stoppers. The kind you us for the short term after opening a bottle of wine. They worked great for that. Regards, Shelley

This item works great but the only thing I don't like is that it's not quite wide enough to seal the whole end of the bag.

Hi, they work on any container smaller than the size of the lid. And they work on different materials - plastic, pyrex, glass etc. Keep in mind they just rest on the container, they are not a tight seal. But they are so much better than plastic wrap and better for the environment.

No, the straw would have to bend around a stopper mechanism that would render the straw ineffective, and it won't fit through the stopper opening.

just cut the size you want and seal one end and the fill it and seal the other end. Must seal the small end first.

Yes I think it would because the top hole is big enough for a straw. But I don't know that this would be a container you'd want to use for that purpose. Like for example I use it to store my daughter's liquid formula so I pour it into her bottles.

Yes you can. Just put the adapter that came with this unit on the bottom and connect the plastic hose. I don't know if you will achieve as good a vacuum as you would with one of the regular bag sealing units but it can be done. I can get pretty good results with other plastic container food saver units using this small sealer. The best answer is to go ahead and give it a try and if it works for you, do it.

I can't guarantee that it would. Read the product claims and if it says it water seals products, then it probably does. These are good people that made this product. My complaint was for almost $8 you can't just use a small portion of it. You MUST use it all and for some repairs, it's not cost effective. Annie

No, it doesn't have a wider end. I am guessing you have a lid that the straw can fit in. I think you would find with the weight of the straw it wouldn't fall out easy. I really enjoy mine a lot!

Sure, use the 8 inch roll and just be sure to cut off enough to seal both ends.

It depends on which straws you are talking about, but I would say no, they are narrower than a regular straw. Also, no, I doubt they will reach the bottom of that jar. Think of them as designed for use by a child, and you won't be disappointed.

I'm not sure but I know it sealed a plastic coffee bag. You may have to simply shorten the seal time
