questions about spawn bags

I know that some spawn bags are made to be sealed with an impulse sealer.
But some sources say these bags are made to be sealed before autoclaving, but that, using proper sterile technique, they may instead be sealed AFTER autoclaving. Is this true?
But some sources, like Preparing spawn bags, talk about spawn bags that have flaps and slots, and these bags are made to be sealed just by folding over the flaps into the slots.
Where do these bags come from? I haven’t been able to find them online.

They could be sealed before and/or after sterilization.
The air has to be mostly squeezed out if presealing.
I'm not sure what you mean flaps, thinking it's from your misunderstanding of what a spawn bag is. If it's not presealing it's just folded/wrapped over itself to cover the filter patch from staying soaked during the PC cycle. Never heard of any flaps.
They come from a number of sponsors on shroomery unless you need 1000+ they are your best bet. Check the sponsors forum.
For a standard 66qt mono if I remember correctly the size bag that works well with 4-5qts grain is with a dimension on 8×18 or thereabouts.
-------------------- But if you're in a hurry, and really got to go If you're in a hurry, might have to find out slow That it's one thing to try and another to fly You get there quicker just a step at a time It's one thing to bark, another to bite The show ain't over till you pack up at night

Thanks for answering, good to know.
I don't know what the flaps are, they were just mentioned in the Shroomery link I gave above.

I use bags.
I seal before PCing with a impulse, and squish most of the air out. Then Cut them open after the cook in front of a flow hood. Use a 1 pint jar fully colonized grain and G2g two bags. They each have about 2 quarts of grain.
Two bags is one mono tub. (4 Quarts grain)
