About Our Vacuum Pouches

We stock a broad range of multilayer vacuum pouches for food packaging applications. Our pouches are made from PA/PE (Polyamide/Polyethylene) multilayer film, non shrinkable and transparent, built for direct food packaging.

We stock four gauge options, 3 mil, 4 mil, 5 mil, and 6 mil, in a wide range of sizes suitable for everything from small retail cuts to large primal and whole muscle products. Select sizes are also available in black. Many additional sizes can be produced to your exact specification, though custom sizes generally require larger minimum quantities and carry a longer lead time.

Standard pouches are rated for up to 95°C for 30 minutes. Beyond our standard stock pouches, we also offer vacuum bags made from high- or medium barrier laminated films, with or without printing, and with a PE sealing layer. These laminated pouches are suitable for freezing, deep freezing, and pasteurization applications and are available in a range of thicknesses and sizes. For custom branding, we can produce a full graphic project with custom printing, including effects such as silver, gold, paper imitation, high gloss, matte, and high transparency finishes. Custom printed pouches are made to order, with minimum quantities and longer lead times than our stock pouches. Call us to discuss your project and specifications.
