Frequent questions

What are the most common uses for vacuum bags?

Vacuum bags are commonly used to store food products, especially meats and fish, to prevent their deterioration while maintaining the flavour and freshness of the first day.

How do vacuum bags work?

To use a vacuum bag, put the product in the bag and close it tightly. Then place the bag in a vacuum machine, which will remove the air from the bag and seal it.

Once all the air has been removed from the bag, it is sealed tightly. This keeps the vacuum packaging inside the bag and prevents food from deteriorating.

How can vacuum bags be reused?

One they have been opened, they must be discarded as they lose their preservation properties. Vacuum bags must be placed in the packaging bin.

However, Sacovitta® vacuum includes an innovative flap to open and close it once it has been opened for the first time, avoiding having to use another packaging for product storage. Two packagings in one: preservation and storage.

What foods can be vacuum packed?

Almost all foods can be vacuum packed. But some stay fresher for longer than others.
Fresh and cooked foods can be vacuum packed. For better preservation, we recommend storing in the refrigerator or freezer.

How should the bags be stored?

Vacuum bags should be stored in a clean, dry place. Ake sure that the bags are sealed tightly so no air can enter or odour escape.

What is the right way to use them?

There is a wide range of these bags on the market and each has its own characteristics and advantages.

Each type of vacuum bag has its technical preservation specifications depending on the type of product to be packaged.

How are vacuum bags cleaned?

Use a cloth soaked in warm water and soap to clean vacuum bags. Do not use a strong detergent as it could damage the bag material.

Once the bag is clean, it is important to make sure it is fully dry before use.

What are the benefits of using vacuum bags?

They help to keep food fresh

One of the main reasons for using vacuum bags is to keep food fresh for longer. Removing the air from the bag reduces the amount of oxygen available, preventing bacteria from multiplying and causing food to deteriorate over time.

Odour prevention

Another benefit of using vacuum bags is that they prevent odours from transferring from one food to another. This is especially useful if food with strong odours, such as meat, are stored in the same bag as food with no odour, such as vegetables.

Reducing space

Vacuum bags are an effective way of optimising space need to store food or items.

Safe packaging for shipping
