FoodSaver Replacement Sealing Tape vs Impresa PTFE Tape for Vacuum Sealers

Buy the Impresa tape for most vacuum sealers and impulse sealers. Its half-inch width matches the sealing strip on FoodSaver, Weston, Nesco and Seal-A-Meal machines, and the roll is long enough for several replacements. The FoodSaver tape is two inches wide, which is far wider than most sealing bars, so you would trim it to fit. Both are PTFE with adhesive backing and hold up to heat; owners report the tape wears, discolors and needs replacing when seals weaken, which is normal for both.

• Choose the FoodSaver tape if you want a wide two-inch strip to cut down for a FoodSaver model or another sealer with a broad sealing bar.
• Choose the Impresa tape if you want a pre-cut half-inch strip that drops onto most FoodSaver, Weston, Nesco and Seal-A-Meal sealing bars without trimming.
