How to Vacuum Seal a Bag?

To vacuum seal bags with a vacuum sealer, follow these general steps:

1. Prepare food or items

Make sure the food or item to be sealed is clean and dry, as moisture can interfere with the sealing process.

2. Turn on the vacuum sealer

Open the lid or compartment of the vacuum sealer, if your vacuum sealer has a cutter and your bag is too long, you can cut it to the proper seal size.

3. Place the bag

Place the open end of the bag into the vacuum sealer, making sure the bag is properly aligned and lays flat on the vacuum channel, and that the contents are in place and not blocking the sealing area.

4. Start the vacuum process

Close the lid of the vacuum sealer and click the vacuum or seal button on your vacuum sealer to activate the vacuum mode.

5. Wait for the process to complete

Wait for the vacuum sealer to automatically remove the air from the bag, this process may take a few seconds to a minute depending on the model of vacuum sealer.

6. Seal bag

When the air is removed, the vacuum sealer will automatically switch to the sealing process, which ensures that the bag is airtight and prevents air from re-entering.

7. Take out the sealed bag

After sealing the bag, remove it from the vacuum sealer and make sure the seal is intact and secure.

8. Labeling and storage

For best preservation, label the airtight bag with a date, if desired, and store in a cool, dry place.
