Seal function is good but can not vacuuming	Check gaskets are not damaged and well applied.This could cause air leakage; change or replace gaskets.
	Check open side of the bag lays between the gaskets.
	Check products inside the bag has no edges or sharp sides.Edges or sharp side must be protected with paper or plastic.
	Check air intakes are free.
Bag inflation after vacuuming	Check if the good is belong to easy corrosion foods?All the easy corrosion goods are need to be frozen or refrigerated after vacuuming so that it can prolong it's shelf life. But vacuuming doesn't guarantee the foods will never spoil.Check if you packed the fresh vegetables or fruit and seed food?All fresh vegetables or fruit and seed are not suitable to storage under room temperature after vacuumed, they have photosynthesis and respiration. Suggest to storage them in refrigerated.
Bags can't hold vacuum	Check sealed are is clean, without wrinkles.In case of wrinkles vac/welding operation is to be made again.
