Our direct heat (constant heat) sealers are available in two different seal types: meshed or serrated. Before purchasing your sealer, determine which seal line you are looking for as your sealer will only be able to provide one type of seal.
Meshed: provides a woven, knit, or knotted material of open texture with evenly spaced holes
Meshed Seal Line
Serrated: provides evenly spaced horizontal lines

All of our stainless steel band sealers provide you with the option to code your bag whether through embossing or dry ink coding or hot stamp printing.
Embossing leaves an imprint on your material w/o using any type of ink. Our band sealers will continually emboss characters at the seal line and show up best on darker or foil type of bags!
CBS-880 / FR-770 offer embossing on the seal line
Dry ink coding prints ink on the bag using an ink roller that is heat activated. The standard font size is 18PT but we also offer an option of 10.5PT for those seeking smaller print sizes. Dry ink coding prints a very clear and solid message at the seal line.
Dry Ink coding Example – 18PT Font
Dry Ink Coding Example – 10.5PT

When shopping around for a heat impulse sealer, the two most important questions you will need to answer are:
Q: What sealer size should I purchase?
A: How wide is your bag? This one is easy. If your bag is 6″, then you will need a sealer that will fit your 6″ bag. The closest size to that is our 8″ hand sealer.
Seal Width Examples
Next Q: What seal width should I choose?
There are a variety of seal widths that a sealer can make. There are two types of heating elements: round or flat. The round wire is mainly used to cut and seal with no excess material above the seal. Depending on the width of the flat wire element, sealers are available in 2-3mm, 5mm, 8mm, or 10 mm. If you are sealing thicker materials, you may want to choose a wider seal width for better heat penetration. Please download our seal width guide for a better idea of the type of seal width you should choose. The most basic seal width is 2mm and if you are sealing a general poly bag, the 2mm seal width will do the trick.

Do you have a vacuum sealer and looking to purchase vacuum bags? If you are, remember that there are TWO kinds of vacuum bags available on the market: standard or embossed/channeled. Make sure you purchase the correct bags. See our post to differentiate.
Standard Vacuum Bags – two smooth layers
Channeled Bags – One smooth layer and one coated layer
Bags Defined:
Standard Vacuum Bags – are clear poly/nylon pouches that can be used with a vacuum chamber or nozzle vacuum machine. Standard vacuum bags are much LESS expensive than channeled bags. There is also much more variety of the standard vacuum bags such as sous vide (boilable), thicker bags (4mil or 5mil), zipper and hang hole, and much more! To purchase our standard vacuum bags, visit our website or speak to a distributor near you.
Standard Bags – for sous vide
Standard Bags – zipper and hang hole
Channeled Bags – are characterized by the embossed or special surface which creates a pathway or “channel” which allows the air to be pulled out of the bags. These bags will work on ANY and ALL vacuum sealers. Your home machines (Foodshell, FoodSaver, Seal-A-Meal models) MUST use the channel bags because they are external clamp machines. To purchase our channel bags, visit our website or speak to a distributor near you. We also now carry channel bags with a ziplock as well as one with a gold back.
Gold Foil Backed Channel Bags
Zipper and Hang Hole Channel Bags
Most home users have a vacuum sealer that must use the channeled bags although there is the SINBO vacuum sealer series which is the only home use vacuum sealer that utilizes STANDARD vacuum pouches saving you money right away.
