What to know about vacuum pouchs
Nylon / PE laminate · 3-side seal · smooth (chamber machines)
- Sizes are outside dimensions, measured flat: width across the mouth × length down the bag, before filling.
- Seals take roughly 10 mm from each side and 15 mm at the mouth, so the usable space is smaller than the bag.
- Allow at least 20 mm extra width and 30 mm extra length over your product. Vacuum pulls the film tight, and a “perfect fit” pouch strains the seals.
- Smooth pouches only work in chamber (seal-bar) machines. External or domestic suction sealers need embossed channel pouches instead.
- The pouch has to fit inside your chamber and lie flat under the seal bar — check your machine before choosing a size.
- Bones, shell and frozen edges can puncture thin film. Step up a gauge for anything sharp or abrasive.
- Suitable for chilling, freezing and sous-vide to about 90°C. Retort or boil-in-bag above 100°C needs a different laminate — talk to us.
- Tolerances
- ±3 mm on width and length, and ±10% on film gauge — standard flexible-packaging manufacturing tolerances.
- Minimum run
- 10,000 pouches. Custom sizes are made to order, so there is a minimum run.
- Lead time
- Made to order — allow around 6–8 weeks from artwork and size sign-off.
How to measure
- Measure your product at its widest and tallest, sitting the way it will sit in the bag.
- Add at least 20 mm to the width and 30 mm to the length for the seals and the “puff” once it is filled.
- Bulky or fluffy contents need more again — size on volume, not weight. Two products of the same weight can need very different bags.
- Hanging the pack? Add about 30 mm of header above the contents for the hang hole.
- Not sure? Send us a sample of the product and we will size it for you.
