Measuring for Vacuum Seal Bags and Vacuum Pouches
We offer a wide array of vacuum sealer bag sizes. But how do you make sure you get the right size vacuum pouch for your product? The correct vacuum seal pouch size depends on the
size and type of product you are sealing in your vacuum bag. We've detailed how you can measure your products to make sure you get the right size vacuum bags for your product.
For Rectangular Shaped Products
Vacuum Pouch Width: add the width of the products
you are sealing to the height of the product you are
sealing plus 1 inch.
Vacuum Pouch Length: add the length of the product
you are sealing to the height of the product plus 2
inches.
Example: for a 6" wide, 7" long, and 0.75" high piece of
meat, a vacuum pouch that is at least 8" wide and 10"
long would be a good choice.
For Tubular Shaped Products
Vacuum Pouch Width: multiply the diameter of your
product by 1.5 and add 1 inch.
Vacuum Pouch Length: add the diameter and length of
the product plus 2 inches.
Example: for a sausage that is 3" in diameter and 7" long,
a vacuum pouch that is at least 6" wide and 12" long
would be a good choice.
