Zip Lock Vacuum Sealer- First version is sized for vacumes, Added a 5mm ID version (7 or 8mm OD) for vacuum sealing units. per request.. Note: if your doing meats or liquids be careful and might not want to use your best vacuum unless you can clean it well. This is my first round on this so might need some tweaks. It's designed to remove majority of air from zip lock style bags for freezing to reduce freezer burn and the like. Keep things fresher. Basic idea is zip most of the "zipper" shut leave a small part unzipped. Try one end it's easier and you can tip it up to remove air all the way to the top if you have liquids. Slide printed piece onto bag. flaps go on each side of the center piece in the slot. Center piece should protrude into the bag slightly to hold the zipper open. Zipper should be closed (locked) on both side right into the part. Insert vacuum nozzle into large end and turn on. Suck down time will vary by vacuum, you'll have to figure it out. once desired vacuum is achieved pull the part slowly back be ready to "squish" the zipper as you remove part bag should be vacuumed onto the part at this point so only minor air gaps will be present (these should not affect the vacuum do to the large amount of suction) Vacuum fitting is designed for a 1 1/8" end to it. If you have other request just PM me.
