Vacuum bags
Vacuum bags extend shelf life by removing oxygen. Also suitable for cooking (sous-vide) and pasteurising. Smooth or embossed, clear or printed, in any size.
Vacuum bags in brief
Vacuum bags remove the oxygen around the product, slowing bacterial growth and oxidation and considerably extending shelf life. They give a tight, hygienic pack with high barrier and strong seal.
Our vacuum bags are suitable for sous-vide cooking and pasteurisation and come smooth for chamber vacuum machines or embossed for external-suction devices. Clear or printed, in any size — with local stock and fast delivery in Belgium, the Netherlands and France.

How do vacuum bags extend shelf life?
By removing the oxygen around the product, oxidation and the growth of aerobic bacteria slow down. The product stays fresh for longer, retaining colour, flavour and quality.
Are vacuum bags suitable for cooking?
Yes. Our vacuum bags are suitable for sous-vide cooking and pasteurisation while retaining their seal and barrier properties.
What is the difference between smooth and embossed vacuum bags?
Smooth bags are intended for chamber vacuum machines with a seal bar. Embossed bags have a structure that channels air away on external-suction devices.
