I want to prepare and freeze some particle this year and would like to vacuum seal these in kilo bags to save some freezer space. I remember some post(s) on here in the past but I am unable to find them whilst doing a search, so I have a couple of questions:-
What Vacuum sealer would you recommend?
What size bags would I need?
Links to any would be great.
TIA

also thinking about one of these . . .are they -
1 - Cheaper than ziplock bags in the long run
2 - Easy and faff free . .? (ie. pre-bagging 10kg boilies in 1kg bags etc)
. . ?

You don't get the vacuum effect in zip lock bags. No real faff, easy once you've done it a few times. You can then use it on food etc for fishing and none fishing.

Just been looking for bags to freeze boilies in, these look perfect but are they thick enough?

The great thing about vacuum packing you're bait for freezing is it virtually eliminates any type of freezer burn and really does extend most food items storage times significantly, it's great for meals on the bank to, you can portion up and freeze, Chuck in a cool box or bag and then just add it to a pan of boiling water, negating any dirty pan on the bank! Keeps fresh food really well for longer periods of time too!
I like to sous vide cook (at home) steaks, sausages (any meat for any meal on the bank) and then freeze it and all you need to do is flash fry it on the bank, it really is a game changer, less camping gas consumed, less pots pans to clean, fast fresh food 👍
I bagged up and vac packed 20kg of bait in 15 mins the other day, so it's relatively faff free.

No buddy 😂 I'm a water production engineer
A mate put me onto it that's mega obsessed with perfectly cooked steaks! It really is a brilliant way of cooking as it gives perfect repeatable results every time, tbh they're not mega expensive now either, from memory mine cost me 70 odd quid and it's seen some hammer lol
Another advantage is you can pre cook any meats prior to a big barbecue then just chuck it on to the charcoal to give a crispy barbecue taste without having to spend ages stood turning meat lol
It's simply time & temperature combinations that give you rare, medium rare or well done.

or he read the description in the bag link
I'm mainly doing it for the storage side of things. Thinking along the lines of a flatter bag means I can use up less space.
