storing small amounts? Can you customize the size of the bag to very small dimensions if you buy the rolls of plastic rather than the bags?

I believe you could cut the bags to fit as they seal on all sides. A better alternative is to buy the gizmo that seals caps on mason jars and buy the tiny mason jelly jars. Every time you open a bag you lose some, and then you have to have 3 inches remaining for it to seal.

Hi Mike, The best bulk bags I've found are the Weston Bags. They seal very well and come in both 8 and 11 inch sizes. However I'd recommend buying a 50 foot roll and make your custom sized bags. Less waste, and a bag that will fit the exact size of the item you're vacuuming. Plus by creating your own custom bags they're even less expensive (and they're reusable too just like pre-made bags). It only takes a minute or so to make them and it is really the best way to go IMO.

They would have to be the thinner rolls. My point of reference are rolls from Costco which are doubles &, no, they really wouldn't fit. It's really handy for all kinds of things & holds quite a bit.

there are actually heat and seal rolls you can get- those are like, a thousand times better. you can make it whatever size, and then no need to vent, you can pop them in the microwave without slitting them. I really didn't like these bags because they sometimes didn't seal well and I couldn't always tailor them to the size I needed.

My understanding is the bags are not for freezer use, so the answer is no. To do that you'd need to purchase their bigger food saver sealing machine.

The smallest width in rolls is 8" and it depends which size or shape leftover, etc., you want to save. I am using both because it is very handy to have already one seam pre-sealed, but often the pint size bag does not leave enough required extra space before making the seal on the other side. When I got started with the FoodSaver I invested in one 8" roll and a few pint-size bags and I have been switching between both as needed.

I'd think if you were willing to quarter your memory foam and sew velcro strips to pieces for reassembly later you'd be able to fit it into the bags and compress it into a tiny size. The problem with fit isn't so much as getting it in the bag - it's closing the bag afterward.

With the rolls you decide what length you need. You may not need all of the bag or the bag might be just a little short, as you do need room for the sealer to work. I like the rolls so I have control of how much it will hold. As far as economical, I think the bags may be a little more, and I like to having the option of a longer bag, if I need it, by making my own.

I have found that the rolls are better. The ones you can get that are perforated down the middle are great for making whatever size you need. Just be sure to allow for sealing of the bag on both ends.

Not all rolls are that difficult; however the quality of the bags do not seem to be as good as in the beginning. Sometimes, when I run out, I use the plastic bags from stores; unless they are illegal where you live!!

Dear Busy Mom,The bag size for each of the inner plastic bins on this recycler unit is Liner Code G. Each of the inner plastic bins are also removable, which can be removed one at a time. Kind Regards,simplehuman

Regular plastic grocery bags will be too small for this trash can. For the smaller models they will work. They are not as neat as a simple human trash bags though.

I never tried. You might be able to, but I've just filled mine with 2 packets of 13"x9" and they are gorgeous!

No. You can stuff a normal "American" size paper towel roll in there. Normal foil rolls and wrap don't fit until you have used a quarter of them.

Yes, but the plastic roll is about 4" in diameter and doesn't cut like the smaller rolls.

Yes, The bags that come with the machine are 11" x 10' so you could do a bag long enough for 2+ gallon size. I hope that helps.

I store it in a large ziplock bag. Right now it is about 12"x13" and about 1/2 inch thick. Would probably take less space if rolled tight.
