When making a bag from the roll material, you have to heat-seal each end. The first end there is no vacuum; just heat.
Our machine is FoodSaver brand (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OPIYH3O/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1), but last December it was $75. Anyway, with our machine, it doesn't really matter which side is up when sealing or vacuuming. Not sure about other makes/models, but ours has a drip tray, and you're supposed to center the end of the bag in that drip tray in order to seal the final end. It will suck out the air to a preset amount of vacuum, then will seal the plastic together. You can interrupt the vacuuming process early if you're sealing up, for example, bread.

We have learned that we can cut a head of lettuce in half and seal each one really good....really suck that air out! Work off of one and, when that bag is empty, then open the other. The lettuce stays green and crisp for several weeks.
This little gizmo has already paid for itself in less than a year!

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he reached his early sixties
