Preserving/Expiration: Can the bag be opened then just bag-clipped shut, ect?

I would just keep the bag shut as air-tight as possible, away from moisture, and basically try to have it finished within one year, or I suppose two, but it will lose a little of its freshness by then.

I am not an expert, but I freeze the bag and take out and fill a shaker so it lasts longer! Hope this helps.

Absolutely! I've changed the contents many times. They're made of much thicker material than a food storage type baggie. You open the bag, put in your items, seal it, in the middle of the bag there is a plastic cap you open, you attach a vacuum hose and suck out all of the air. Some have said their bags leak, there is a slider to close it, but I always manually press my hand along, pressing the edges together to make sure it's sealed tight. I haven't had one let go yet.

Only if you can cut off the original seal and have enough room to reseal. Would suggest cutting a bigger bag if you plan to reseal, cut, reseal frequently.

I didn't get an image to your question so I think you are asking about the Ziploc Storage bags, if so they stay sealed for almost forever, you can unseal and reseal, they are the best!

I've never refrigerated this bag even once opened. I've kept it around for a few weeks without any issue. However, I don't see how putting it in fridge would hurt it either.

with a bag sealer....same way you close the food storage bag after placing the correct amount of absorbers in.

The adhesive is on the bag, which is user friendly. Just rip of the little strip and fold over. You and reopen and reseal bag.

I had opened a bag of this and used a small portion. I stored the remainder in a double zip lock bag. It lasted the for the 3 weeks it sat before I finished it. As for how long over all I can not give you a definitive answer on that part of your question. Make sure to keep it dry and I would think you would be ok.

Wendy and Larry's answers are both good. I've had an opened bag for over six months without any problem and haven't resorted to a freezer.

I read all of the content that was on the box of bags that I received and did not see it say that you could or could not reuse these bags. These are to be used with the sealing machine: Food Saver which uses heat to create a seal - not a zip type bag. You have to cut the bag open to get to your food after it has been steamed...... I suppose you could try it, but your bag will get smaller with each use, and the company probably cannot give you advise on reuse because they don't want to be responsible in case of bacteria left over from the previous use....

Yes Definitely when not in use just put back into its original bag reseal it and it should last sometimes up to three months I've had mine I think six months and three of them are still good that have been opened and in jars with material.

I've had mine open for about 2 years and it is still fine.After I take some out I make sure the bag is tightly closed and remove as much air as possible.

Yeah, these are like what they put in shoes at the store. The entire bag will not be ruined if you open it just make sure you store in an airtight place. You can heat them in the oven to dry them out for reuse.

When I opened my bag I immediately transferred them to a ziplock baggy. I don't think opening the bag to get one out will ruin them, but I wouldn't leave them out for long periods of time. Not the same as a oxygen absorber, these absorb moisture. I use them in my underwater housing for my camera for extra protection.

I bought mine in December 2013 and I still have some left from that bag and I keep it closed tightly and in a freezer bag. On the bag it states 'best by September 2016'.

You can twist the bag and wrap the twisted section through the cardboard ring at the top, as far as I can tell the don't seal.
