Vacuum Seal Bags 14″ x 16″ 3 mil

Whole Poultry & Roast Vacuum Seal Bags — 14 x 16 in., 3 mil Poly-Nylon

These non-channeled vacuum pouches are engineered for high-barrier packaging of whole poultry, pork roasts, large beef cuts, and similar perishable proteins. Constructed from a 3 mil, 9-layer co-extruded poly-nylon film, they deliver exceptional oxygen and moisture barrier performance suited for extended refrigerated and frozen shelf life. FDA and USDA compliant for direct food contact.

Specs: 14 x 16 in. | 3 mil | 9-Layer Poly-Nylon | FDA & USDA Compliant

Applications

• Whole chicken and small turkey vacuum packaging at processing and retail
• Bone-in and boneless pork roast and ham packaging
• Large beef cut and rib roast portion packaging
• Artisan cheese and charcuterie extended shelf-life packaging
• Fresh and frozen seafood fillet and whole fish packaging

Features

• Non-channeled smooth interior — optimized for chamber vacuum sealer equipment
• 9-layer co-extruded poly-nylon construction — superior puncture and flex-crack resistance
• Oxygen transmission rate: less than 45 cc/sq.m. — extends aerobic spoilage barrier
• Moisture vapor transmission rate: less than 5 g/sq.m. — minimizes freezer burn
• Non-shrink film maintains bag geometry post-seal for clean retail presentation
• FDA and USDA compliant for direct food contact

Material Notes

Manufactured from a 3 mil, 9-layer co-extruded poly-nylon (PA/LDPE) multilayer barrier film. The nylon outer layers provide puncture resistance and oxygen barrier performance, while the inner LDPE layers provide heat-seal compatibility and moisture resistance. This multilayer construction significantly outperforms single-layer LDPE bags for oxygen-sensitive protein and dairy packaging. Gauge specification is nominal.

Use Case Notes

The 14 x 16 inch format accommodates most whole 3–5 lb. chickens, half hams, and large beef roasts. Non-channeled bags require a chamber vacuum sealer for proper air evacuation — they are not compatible with external suction (FoodSaver-style) sealers without a channel surface. Verify equipment compatibility before bulk ordering for automated lines.

Common Questions

Q: What type of vacuum sealer is required for non-channeled bags?
A: Non-channeled pouches require a chamber vacuum sealer (also called a chamber sealer or vacuum chamber machine). They are not compatible with external suction sealers that rely on interior bag channels to evacuate air.

Q: Can these bags be used for freezer storage?
A: Yes. The low moisture vapor transmission rate and puncture-resistant poly-nylon construction make these bags well suited for extended frozen storage with minimal freezer burn risk.

Q: Are these bags FDA and USDA compliant?
A: Yes. These vacuum pouches meet FDA and USDA requirements for direct food contact, including meat, poultry, and dairy applications.

Why Buy

The 9-layer poly-nylon construction provides significantly better oxygen and moisture barrier performance than standard LDPE bags at a competitive wholesale price point. The 14×16 format serves the widest range of whole-bird and large-cut protein applications in a single SKU, reducing inventory complexity for meat processors, butcher operations, and food service distribution packaging lines.
