Over the past couple of years, Sealer Sales has donated packaging equipment and supplies to San Jose State University to help combat food insecurity on the campus.
Sealer Sales and San Jose State University assistant professor Dan Nathan-Roberts were featured in the Summer 2019 cover story by the American Society of Engineering Education’s flagship magazine, PRISM about food insecurity on college campuses. Hunger has become a campus wide problem and many students are unable to afford dining halls. The U.S. Government Accountability Office estimated that some 3.3 million college students potentially eligible for aid, more than half—some 1.8 million individuals—didn’t apply for the benefit in 2016.
Students in the Dan Nathan-Robert’s Work Measurement and Work Design class at San Jose State University learn how to design, produce, test and improve assembly methods for trail mix. Packaging equipment and supplies for the class were donated by Sealer Sales. In addition to manufacturing a real product, more than 1,000 pounds and 3,000 bags have been donated by the class to the campus food banks over the past four years. In addition to combating food insecurity on campus, “students in the class see the positive impact that engineering can have, and our trail mix has become one of the most requested items in the pantries” stated Nathan-Roberts.
Sealer Sales is committed to serving educational and charitable organizations and we are very excited to be able to assist with this project. If you would like to help with this project, please reach out to Sealer Sales at contact@sealersales.com or Dan Nathan-Roberts at dan.nathan-roberts@sjsu.edu.

We are introducing a brand new All-In-One L-Bar sealer with shrink tunnel combo, our LST-1616.
This unique All-In-One L-Bar Sealer and Shrink Chamber is compact and quite the space saver.
The LST-1616 is designed for easy and quick shrink wrap packaging. Users can produce products that have a factory fresh clean look and feel. The sealer/tunnel combo creates packages that are free from dust, moisture and fingerprints.
The L-bar measures 15.7″ x 15.7″.
The shrink tunnel is located underneath the L-bar sealer ensuring a small footprint. The machine dimensions measure 44″L x 28″W x 44″H.
Why is using an L-bar sealer important for shrink wrapping?
Sealers designed for shrink wrapping will create a seamless seal (i.e. excess material above the seal is cut off). Once a heat source is applied, and the material shrinks around your product, this will ensure a clean look.
See below and example of what NOT to do….here is a product that used the incorrect sealer to shrink wrap.
When you shrink wrap, the package should not have any seams visible. See below:
If you are planning on shrink wrapping your packages and not sure which sealer works , please contact us or one of our distributors for assistance.
For the month of June, we will be offering 10% off our LST-1616. Use code: PRODUCTOFTHEMONTH

Vacuum Sealers remove oxygen from a package prior to sealing the bag. By removing oxygen from the package, vacuum sealing can extend the life of a food package or prevent rust of industrial items. Our vacuum chamber sealers require no external compressor and can vacuum seal liquids and powders. Depending on the bag size, vacuum chamber sealers can also vacuum seal multiple bags at a time.
Learning how a vacuum chamber works may be less intuitive than a nozzle vacuum sealers so we created a quick little infographic to walk you through the mechanics of a vacuum chamber.
As a result of this method, vacuum chambers are able to vacuum seal liquids in bags and provides an advantage over nozzle vacuum sealers.
Watch our DZ-500T vacuum chamber in action.
For the month of April, we will be offering 10% off our DZ-500T vacuum chamber.
Our latest post will be a quick refresher on what our “seal and cut” options are on our sealing equipment. There are two types of seal and cut: (1) cutting excess material so that there is a seamless seal primarily used for shrink wrapping and (2) using a trimmer on a sealer to cut a bag that is too long or to make poly tubing.
For shrink wrapping, you will want to create a seamless seal with no excess material above the seal as you will be heat shrinking the material around your product. Either use a hand sealer with a ROUND wire or purchase an L-bar sealer. For more information about shrink wrapping, refer to our previous blog: Shrink Wrapping 101.
For cutting a bag because it is too long, we have various sealers with sliding cutters. Usually there is a blade on the sealer which will trim excess material about 1/4″-1/2″ from the seal line. We carry hand sealers, foot sealers and our newest addition, band sealers with sliding cutters. The band sealer HLC-1120LD which is equipped with a trimmer to cut off excess material!
HLC-1120LD is suitable for sealing all types of thermoplastic materials and bags. This unit is equipped with a trim scrap system for trimming excess material. The vertical configuration is ideal for sealing stand up pouches and liquid-type products.
Send your material for us to test on the HLC-1120LD band sealer!
We are excited to introduce a couple of products in both our equipment and flexible packaging product line.
Our popular W-300DAT(S) series of table top direct heat (constant heat) sealers is now available with a straight vertical serrated seal line for those looking to match seal types on your current bag. The W-250DATVS still has the same great features found on our W-300DAT(S) units.
On our flexible side, we have added a child resistant stand up pouch that is both child resistant and tamper evident. Our stock stand up pouches are labeled with instructions for adult use (see below). These foil pouches are specifically designed for low oxygen, low moisture vapor and UV resistant. The bags comply with ASTM D3475.
Custom printing is also available. Contact your local distributor for more information.
Our February product of the month is our channel vacuum bags. Our channel vacuum bags are specifically designed for out of chamber vacuum machines. Using a vacuum bag can extend the shelf life and flavor of your food as well as prevent freezer burn and dehydration loss.
We want to highlight long time customer, Boss Mouse Cheese, headquartered in Traverse County, Michigan. Boss Mouse Cheese first approached us more than seven years ago looking for a high quality channel bag for their artisan cheeses. The bag quality was important as Sue Kurta, head cheesemaker, was producing small batches of cheese.
Since then, Boss Mouse Cheese has added a famous smoked butter (Rachel Ray loves it!) all packaged in Sealer Sales’ channel vacuum bags. Thank you Boss Mouse Cheese for your unwavering loyalty. If you would like to try Boss Mouse Cheese, visit their website here: http://bossmousecheese.com/ You might regret trying the smoked butter…it’s quite addicting!
Don’t forget that these vacuum bags must be used on a out of chamber vacuum sealer in order for the full benefits of food preservation and dehydration loss to take place. Visit our site for channel type vacuum sealers.
