Adding a "Cut" Option to Your Sealer

We have two types of sealers that offer a "cut" option:  a cut and seal sealer (aka a sealer with a round wire) OR a sealer with a sliding cutter.  Please take a look at the two options to determine which sealer works best for you.  If you  have questions, please contact us or one of our distributors! Seal and Cut Sealer A seal and cut sealer is most often used in shrink wrapping  film and bags.  When using a seal and cut sealer, any excess material above the seal is cut off creating a clean seamless seal.

When purchasing a seal and cut sealer, ask for an impulse sealer with a ROUND wire instead of a flat wire.  Flat wire sealers create seal widths such as 2mm, 5mm, or 10mm seal widths.  Round wires create no seam.

If you already have a 2mm sealer, you can easily purchase a round wire heating element and convert your sealer to a cut and seal sealer.  Please note:  ONLY 2mm sealers can be converted, a 5mm or 10mm sealer CANNOT be converted to a round wire.  See our instructions on how to change your heating element wire.

Sealer with Sliding Cutter Now, a sealer with a sliding cutter is most often used to trim a bag length or seal poly tubing.  A sealer with a sliding cutter is equipped with a blade which will cut any excess material about 1/4" from the seal line.

We carry sealers with cutters in a 2mm and 5mm seal width.  We recommend using a 2mm for sealing materials 3-5mil thick (6-10mil total) and 5mm seal width for sealing materials 6-10mil thick (12-20mil total).
