There are a number of companies that sell vacuum packers/sealers. I have two different ones. The first will seal any type bag. However, the seal is not that great. The other requires the use of their bags, since they are designed with cross-hatching that allows the air to be vacuumed out. The bags, if cut carefully can be washed out and reused. We generally freeze meats for storage and then wash the bags to use for non-food items. Pete
