Which Products are Compatible with That Seals It!

That Seals It! is a patented vacuum lid system for sealing #10 sized cans. To use our lids, you will need a #10 can and a vacuum pump. You probably already have both. Let's talk about the products that can be used with That Seals It! vacuum lids.

#10 Cans

Vacuum Lids designed to seal #10 sized cans

The term "Number 10 Can", #10 Can, or “10 pound can” refers to a size of can (See our post about it here). #10 is a popular size for freeze dried food storage products. That Seals It! can be used with any container that is this size. Be sure to check the rim of the container for any nicks, cracks, or debris. Anything that prevents the lid from sealing to the rim will allow air to leak out and the lid won't work. This shouldn't be a problem, but just make sure and check.

#10 cans are also commonly used with bulk foods. Once you have opened that can of nacho cheese, you can vacuum-seal it until next time. Once the cheese is gone, wash out the can and use it to re-seal anything you like (we recommend vacuum sealing brown sugar, it never gets hard!)

Vacuum Pump

This Sucks! manual vacuum pump & electric bag sealer

That Seals It! is compatible with manual or electric vacuum pumps. In order to create the seal, you need a way to remove the air. You may already have a pump, just make sure it is the kind that pulls air out, not pushes it in.

We offer a manual pump that is a great addition to any food storage or emergency preparedness system. The pump is small and easily stored. If you already have a manual pump it will need to connect to the vacuum hose that comes with That Seals It! vacuum lids.

That Seals It! is also compatible with most electric vacuum pumps that have an accessory port. We personally use the Food Saver brand. We have not had the opportunity to test every available electric vacuum pump. If you have a different brand that you use with That Seals It! lids, we want to hear from you!

What is a #10 Can?

That Seals It! products are meant to be used with #10 cans (sometimes said number 10, No. 10, or 10 pound can.) So, what is a #10 can and how is it different from other cans? Well, a #10 can just refers to a certain size of can. #10 is the most common size used for freeze-dried food storage products. It's also pretty commonly used for bulk canned foods found at Costco or Sam's Club (think canned peaches or nacho cheese.)

Common Sized Cans. The #10 is the largest can on the left-hand side.

If you already use #10 sized cans, you know how intimidating it is to open one up. "How am I possibly going to use all of this powdered butter?!" With vacuum sealing, you can be confident that the contents of the can will stay fresher longer.

If you don't already use #10 sized cans, there are so many benefits to purchasing in bulk! It is often significantly less expensive to buy bulk and the tin cans make great storage when they are empty.

How much does a #10 can hold?

Our patented vacuum lid system is specifically designed to fit #10 cans. The lid fits right on the can, you pump out the air with a manual or electric pump, and the contents are securely re-sealed and kept fresh for storage.
