Multi-layer poly-nylon vacuum seal pouches provide extended shelf life for fresh and frozen proteins, cheese, and seafood through superior gas and moisture barrier performance. At 3 mil and 9-layer construction, these non-channeled pouches deliver oxygen transmission rates below 45 cc/sq.m and moisture vapor transmission rates below 5 g/sq.m — maintaining product integrity from processing through retail or food service delivery.

Specs: 8 x 12 in. | 3 mil | 9-Layer Poly-Nylon Film | Non-Channeled | Non-Shrink | FDA & USDA Compliant

Applications

• Fresh and frozen beef, pork, lamb, and game meat portion packaging


• Seafood, fish fillet, and shellfish vacuum packaging


• Poultry and turkey fresh or frozen portioning


• Artisan and commercial cheese wheel and block packaging


• Processed deli meats, hams, and ready-to-eat protein packaging

Features

• 9-layer co-extruded poly-nylon film delivers industry-grade oxygen and moisture barrier performance


• Oxygen transmission rate: less than 45 cc/sq.m


• Moisture vapor transmission rate: less than 5 g/sq.m


• Non-channeled design requires chamber vacuum sealer for proper evacuation


• Non-shrink construction — does not retract during freezing or thawing cycles


• FDA and USDA compliant for direct food contact use


• 8 x 12 in. size accommodates standard meat portion and seafood packaging formats

Material Notes

These pouches are produced from co-extruded 9-layer poly-nylon (polyamide/polyethylene) film. The polyamide (nylon) layers provide the primary gas barrier function, dramatically reducing oxygen ingress that causes oxidative spoilage in proteins and dairy products. The polyethylene inner layers provide the heat-seal surface and direct food contact compatibility. Multi-layer construction also improves puncture resistance compared to mono-layer LDPE pouches of equivalent gauge, making them appropriate for bone-in cuts and rigid seafood shells.

Use Case Notes

These non-channeled pouches require a chamber vacuum sealer for proper air evacuation — they are not compatible with external vacuum sealers or channel bag sealers. At 8 x 12 in., this pouch size accommodates most individual protein portions including steaks, fish fillets, chicken pieces, and half-wheels of artisan cheese. Suitable for both fresh refrigerated and frozen storage applications.

Common Questions

Q: Can these pouches be used with a FoodSaver or external vacuum sealer?
A: No. These are non-channeled (smooth interior) pouches that require a chamber vacuum sealer to properly evacuate air. FoodSaver-type external sealers require channel/embossed bags.

Q: Are these pouches safe for freezing?
A: Yes. The non-shrink poly-nylon construction is designed for long-term freezing applications without film contraction or seam failure during temperature cycling.

Q: What is the expected shelf life extension with these pouches?
A: Shelf life varies by product and storage temperature. The combination of chamber vacuum removal and the low O2/moisture barrier of poly-nylon film significantly extends fresh protein shelf life compared to standard poly bags. Specific results depend on incoming product quality, processing hygiene, and refrigeration temperature.
