Embossed Vacuum Bags & Rolls b

All brands of domestic vacuum sealing appliances, with the exception of the Vacu-Seal™ Handheld Device, need embossed or sometimes called "ribbed" or "channelled" vacuum bags or rolls.  This is because almost all external type vacuum sealers work in conjunction with the vacuum bag to create the maximum air extraction possible.  Our bags and rolls have a criss-crossing pattern on the inside of one side of the bag or roll to allow the pump to navigate the air through the bag and the neoprene seals underneath the lid to form a vacuum chamber.

Material:

All our embossed vacuum bags and rolls are made of a polyamide (PA) air impenetrable exterior and a polyethylene (PE) food approved interior.  They are transparent bags and rolls which are remarkably resistant, do not allow oxygen to penetrate the film and guarantee excellent sealing results.

Bag Sizes:

The actual seal length of your sealing bar dictates what sizes bags or rolls you can vacuum seal.  The actual seal length of our domestic vacuum sealers is 310 mm.  Therefore the largest size bag that will operate in our domestic range of external type vacuum packers is 30 cm.  For our commercial customers we supply a wider range of larger models and a bigger embossed bag sizes up to 40 x 60 cm.

Our standard stock range of bags for our domestic machines are: 15 x 30 cm, 12 x 45 cm, 20 x 30 cm, 25 x 35 cm and 30 x 40 cm (width x length). For those who prefer imperial measurements, 5.9 x 11.8, 4.7 x 17.7, 7.9 x 11.8, 9.8 x 13.8 and 11.8 x 15.7 inches.  All our bag sizes are supplied in packs of 100 bags. 

Roll Sizes:

We also supply two sizes of roll: 20 x 600 cm (approximately 7.9 x 236.2 inches) and 30 x 600 cm (approximately 11.8 x 236.2 inches).  These can be cut to the right length, sealed at the bottom using one of our vacuum sealers and then vacuum pumped before sealing at the top end.

Capacity of Vacuum Sealed Bags:

The size of any item to be vacuum sealed is not only determined by its width and length but also by its depth, i.e. volumetric measurement.  In terms of volumetric measurements of our bags, with a 5 cm head room, will allow the following capacity:

• 15 x 30 cm - 1 litre
• 20 x 30 cm - 2 litres
• 25 x 35 cm - 4 litres
• 30 x 40 cm - 6 litres

For example, a 2 to 2.5 Kg (3 to 4 lb) chicken will comfortably fit into a 30 x 40 cm bag.  To ensure that larger items, particularly those with a large circumference, fit into a bag you should request a sample from us and test the item first.  It is important to allow a head clearance of 5 cm in the bag in order that the heat sealer can operate unhindered.

With all of our appliances it is possible to cut the bags to the right size, bottom and/or side seal using the heat sealer, extract the air out through the top of the new custom bag size and then heat seal the top end.

Vacuum Bags & Rolls for Other Brands of Vacuum Sealer:

Many of our customers purchase vacuum bags or rolls from us because they cannot find them elsewhere or because we are lower on price than the retail outlet where they first purchased their vacuum sealer.  The fact is that our embossed bags and rolls will work with appliances made by many other manufacturers of external type vacuum sealers, including FoodSaver, Bifinett, Magi Vac, Rival Seal a Meal, JML, Vac Master and others.  Please note that more compact appliances will only operate with our smaller bag sizes or smaller roll size.   You will need to measure your sealing bar width to make sure our bag sizes will fit your machine.

Sous Vide:

Our vacuum bags and rolls are not boilable, but you can use then to poach in water up to 70­­° C using a heating immersion circulator or water bath.  This is professionally called "Sous Vide" or "under vacuum" cooking.  There are tangible culinary benefits to cooking under a vacuum for longer period of time at lower temperatures, notably in terms of taste and colour.  With Sous Vide cooking there is no food contact with cooking oils which absorb and dilate nutritious substances and destroy vitamins.  Food cooked in the bag will therefore be more tender and succulent than traditionally cooked produce. You can learn more about Sous Vide by clicking the image below:

If you prefer to cook a meal, eat a portion of it and store the remainder then there are no problems with vacuum sealing, chilling or freezing and then re-heating in a bag if so desired.  Our vacuum bags will also withstand a small length of time in the microwave at full power.  No more than 2 to 3 minutes.

Vacu-Seal™ Bags:

The Vacu-Seal™ Handheld Device is different from our external type vacuum sealers.  It is a space saving battery operated vacuum sealer which is compact and convenient to use.  You can learn more about the unique Vacu-Seal™ bags with valves from our vacuum sealer FAQs. 

Own Collection:

Should you live or wish to travel to our offices to collect goods free of charge then you are welcome to do so.  We are normally available between 08:30 and 17:30 to welcome you but it is best to call beforehand to ensure staff are available to deal with your requests.  We are also happy to take telephone orders.  We do not hide behind PO Box addresses and are certainly willing to talk to you over the telephone at any time.

Vacuum Containers v

The Vuoto Box range of vacuum storage containers comprises six containers that can be used to vacuum pack any kind of foodstuff, including liquids.  The containers come with a special lid fitted with a one way, screw-type valve that will work solely with Orved appliances to create air free environments inside strong and sturdy food storage units. They do not work with other vacuum sealer appliances.  The Vuoto Box storage containers were originally created to solve the problem of vacuum packing liquids and fragile products.  They are made from polycarbonate and can be used to store foods in the fridge, cook in the microwave and be washed in the dishwasher.  There are three rectangular and three round containers in the range.

How they Work:

Each of our appliances is supplied with a hose piece and tube attachment.  These accessories will attach to a nozzle piece in the vacuum sealer and anyone of our polycarbonate vacuum containers.  To create a vacuum inside the container is very easy:

1. Attach the tube to both the appliance and the screw valve on the top of the container lid.
2. Start the vacuum pump ensuring that the screw valve on the container lid is unscrewed.
3. Apply hand pressure to both the lid of the container and the tube attachment.*
4. After the appliance has created the vacuum it will stop pumping and you can detach the accessory pieces.
5. Tighten the screw valve to close out the air and to ensure it cannot re-enter the container.

* This process can require a good level of force to begin with until the lid of the container is securely fixed to the container. The extraction of air will force the lid of the container to the container once vacuum pressure is being created.

Please note: The Vuoto Box containers are only compatible with Orved hose suction tubes and appliances.
