Smooth vacuum bags are the standard bag for anyone with a chamber vacuum machine. Because the machine creates the vacuum in the whole chamber, the bag needs no channels – which makes it both cheaper and stronger at the seal than an embossed bag.
Which machines do smooth bags fit?
All chamber vacuum machines, regardless of brand. If you instead have an external sealer where the open end of the bag is placed in the machine, you need embossed channel bags.
Material and performance
The bags are made of PA/PE 20/70 – two films laminated together, where the polyamide gives tensile strength and oxygen barrier and the polyethylene gives sealability. The combination holds the vacuum over time instead of slowly letting air in.
At 90 micron, food keeps up to four to five times longer than with ordinary storage, and the bags are freezer-safe down to -25 °C.
Sizes and packaging
From 16x20 cm for portion pieces up to 40x60 cm for whole primal cuts. Sold in packs of 100; a full carton holds 500–1,000 bags depending on size.
Certifications
Made in Italy and approved under EC 1935/2004 (food contact materials), EC 10/2011 (plastic materials) and EC 2023/2006 (good manufacturing practice).
