Which tape fits a FoodSaver vacuum sealer?

The FoodSaver roll is the direct fit at 1/2 inch wide. The BOMEI tape is 1 inch wide, so it only works on a FoodSaver if you trim it or your bar is wide enough.

Is the BOMEI tape worth the extra $3.89?

Only if you need the 1 inch width, the 0.18 mm thickness or the above-518°F rating. For a standard FoodSaver bar, the cheaper FoodSaver roll does the same job.

The BOMEI tape has a fiberglass core and a published 0.18 mm thickness, which usually holds up better against heat and repeated sealing. The FoodSaver roll has no published thickness, so its life depends on your sealing frequency.

Can I use either tape on a hand impulse sealer?

BOMEI lists hand impulse sealers and insulation as uses. FoodSaver markets its roll for vacuum sealers, so BOMEI is the safer pick for impulse sealers.

Do both come with adhesive backing?

Yes. Both are adhesive-backed PTFE tapes that press onto the sealing bar.

How much tape do I need for one re-tape?

One strip the length of your sealing bar. A 30 or 33 foot roll covers many replacements, so either roll lasts a long time.

FoodSaver Replacement Sealing Tape Roll vs BOMEI PACK PTFE Teflon Tape

Both are PTFE tape rolls for vacuum sealers, but they are not the same part. The FoodSaver roll is 1/2 inch wide and 30 feet long, sized as a direct replacement for FoodSaver sealing bars. The BOMEI roll is 1 inch wide, 33 feet long and 0.18 mm thick fiberglass-backed tape, so it fits wider bars and hand impulse sealers. At $5.99 at Amazon as of November 7, 2026, the FoodSaver is the cheaper and safer fit for a FoodSaver machine; the BOMEI at $9.88 at Amazon as of November 7, 2026 is the better buy only if your bar needs the extra width or you want the thicker, higher-heat-rated tape.
