FoodSaver Replacement Sealing Tape vs PTFE Fabric Tape 1/2 Inch x 30 ft

Both are PTFE repair tapes for vacuum sealer sealing bars, but they are not the same part. The FoodSaver tape is 2 inches wide and 33 feet long, sized to cover the full sealing strip on FoodSaver-style machines. The generic 1/2-inch tape is a narrow strip that suits small sealers or spot repairs. Buy the FoodSaver tape for a full-width replacement on a standard sealer; buy the narrow tape only if your sealing bar is narrow or you need to patch a small section.

• Choose the FoodSaver tape if your sealer has a wide sealing bar and you want one strip to cover it end to end.
• Choose the 1/2-inch Teflon fabric tape if your sealing bar is narrow or you only need to patch a worn spot.
