I'm looking to vacuum seal a cake for shipping, to keep it fresh. Are these bags wide enough to fit a cake that's 3-4" tall? Thanks!

I'll qualify my answer....IF it's a loaf type cake(Banana nut bread, etc.) and you have frozen it solid first, you can definitely vacuum seal it in the 11" roll...remember it MUST be frozen solid before you do this or it will "squish" down big time. That being said, it should come back to normal or near normal size when it is released from the vacuum wrapping. As to layer cakes, prolly not a good idea, but again, if small enough, and frozen solid before vacuum sealing, you might be able to get it to work. Good luck.

I measured the bag. Looks like it would accommodate a 3-4" tall cake. Not sure of the width though. The height cuts down the width.

I wouldn't seal a cake because it compresses the air out and would smash it.

What I would do were it me, I would split the bags open to make them wider and then it would work, and double seal when you are done.

You can cut the bag to be big enough to fit the cake but!!, vacuuming a cake would crush it??!! Try really freezing it solid first, that would be your best bet. Good luck

I sent these back as soon as I got them. you could seal if the bags don't have a slit down the side.

We have a FoodSaver vacuum sealer and use these bags without issue. With the amount of bag you are forced to sacrifice between the vacuum and the sealer bar, its more like 1.5 cup useful capacity rather than a pint.

Absolutely. I buy them regularly to repackage meat for vacuum freezing. My only suggestion is that you need to minimize handling after freezing because you can disturb the vacuum seal if constantly moving things around in your freezer (unless you are very careful when doing so). NOTE: I assume you have the Ziploc vacuum contraption to remove the air. These bags require that.

Personally, I think that would be a very tight fit. These bags are wonderful. But, I have used them strictly with flat items like cookies.

looked at your foodsaver, dont think this will work, these require that a bag is cut to length, then sealed on one end, items placed inside and vacuum sealed (and heat strip made) sorry

These would work great for shipping shoes in original boxes. I think this larger size is best for that , more so than the 14.5 x 19 ,as some shoe boxes height is higher than the smaller bag would stretch to. Hope that helps!

if you freeze the bags flat, they are too wide for the container. They do, however, fit very well into the top.

JR, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner on this one. I just measured my bags, and they very easily fit into the 4x6 (small bag) clear bags. This size bag can be readily obtained at a craft store. The actual size is a bit smaller being more like 3 3/4 x 6. I have gotten them at Michaels with no problem.

Yes, the bags are gusseted, about 17" long and when opened out at the mouth, laid flat they are 12" wide. I use them for a 2 pound loaf (rather tall loaf) from my Zojirushi bread machine. They fit my large loaves just as well as the more expensive pretty" bags I can purchase where I buy my grain.

My apologies for just responding sooner. These are 24 white cake boxes just as it is described in the heading. You have to assemble them. They're not seals that you see. They are doilles (little liners that you can pick up at any arts and craft store like Michael's, Joann's, etc.), or just use some wax paper from the grocery store. The boxes are light weight and flimsy. So if you have a favor that's heavy, these boxes won't do.

If you order 5-7/16" X 7-1/4" there is no reason they should not fit unless the wedding cards are very thick. If the bags have the adhesive strip you will be able to fold the top down on the 7-1/4 " to made them fit perfect in one direction and the other 5-7/16" will have some space on each side. Hope this helps. The bags are crystal clear which works great. Hope this helps and congratulations on you wedding. John

If you were only making a batch or two I think these would be perfect! But if you are making a lot, then you might want to go bigger! I LOVE these bags! I have the larger ones and use them ALL the time for cake/cupcake decorating and filling!! Wonderful product!

I have had my V448 for quite some time. After cutting bag to desired length, notice a natural curve to bag. Place bag into slot with natural curve down. Ensure after placing item to be vacuum sealed, you have approximate 4" of head space. Again, place into vacuum sealer with natural curve down.You say that the largest bag width is 10". It sounds as if you are using off brand bags. Foodsaver bags have one side "quilted". This quilted side allows grooves for air to be vacuumed out before sealing. Hope this helps.

Probably not. They are a perfect size for miniature candy bars. I put lip scrub & lip balm along with several miniature chocolates in it. If the muffins or cake is bigger than 3-4" in diameter they probably wouldn't fit well. The bags are long & narrow.

No. I have and older Food Saver 500 that we have used for years. These bags are "thin" and actually tend to melt through causing seal to leak. Other bags at 3 mil or 4 mil thicker are much better. They work best on our machine. I guess if you have a machine that doesn't heat the seal that much then it might be okay.

The sealer is about 12 inches wide. The bags that I use are uncut and come in a roll so I can make any size/capacity that I need and it doesn't change the width of the bag. The largest pre-cut bags that I have found are one gallon size but they fit nicely into the sealer. Hope this helps.
