How do you seal your cellphane bags?      CakeCentral.com Forum Index » General Author Message ttehan4 Regular Member Joined: May 24, 2009 Posts: 194 Location: Ohio Posted: Sat Nov 07, 2009 6:43 am  I want to seal several different items, pretzels, cookies, brownies, etc. in cellophane treat bags. I was thinking heat seal, but does it work? Does foodsaver seal cello bags? Any ideas? Kiddiekakes Forum SuperStar!

I just use a silver twisty tie thingy or some pretty colored raffia type ribbon. I do a ton of holiday baking and I've never had anything dry out or go stale yet that was packaged in a cello bag. ttehan4 Regular Member Joined: May 24, 2009 Posts: 194 Location: Ohio Posted: Sat Nov 07, 2009 7:50 am  I did a little searching on the web and found a lady that posts a blog on baking and packaging. She said she uses a cheap vacuum sealer and seals treat bags. It was a 39.00 sealer. I thought that I read on here before that someone uses foodsaver to seal cello bags.

I will pick up a small iron at the craft store today and give it a try.
