VACUUM POUCHES 150×250 MM 90 MICRON (PACK OF 100)

Description

Vacuum pouches 150 x 250 mm are one of the fastest-moving small formats: 15 x 25 cm, in 90 micron gauge and packs of 100. This is the single-portion size, for a cheese wedge, a few sausages or half a dozen steaks, both on the retail counter and in the kitchen.

What these pouches are used for

Many businesses pack mostly small portions, and using a large pouch for that adds cost to every pack without adding anything. At 150 x 250 mm the film sits close to the portion, the vacuum comes out clean and the cost per pack drops noticeably over the course of a month.

• Butchery: single portions of steak, burgers or mince.
• Cheese counter: wedges and small portions.
• Charcuterie: small stacks of sliced product and cut sausage.
• Catering: portioning for service and sous vide work.
• Online sales: prepared portions for individual dispatch.

Frequently asked questions

How much product fits in a 150 x 250 mm pouch?

A portion of roughly 200 to 400 grams depending on the product: a cheese wedge, four or five steaks, a couple of burgers or a small stack of sliced meat. Do not fill it to the edge, so the open end reaches the sealing bar clean.

Can I stick the label straight onto the pouch?

Yes, that is the normal practice: the label goes onto the pack once it is sealed. What matters is that the label does not sit over the weld and that the film is clean and dry, or the label will lift off in the chiller.

How much longer will product keep?

It depends on the product, the storage temperature and the condition of the piece when packed. Removing the oxygen slows fat oxidation and the growth of aerobic micro-organisms, but each business has to validate the shelf life of its own lines under its food safety plan.

How does it compare with the 150 x 300 mm?

Same width, five centimetres less depth. The 250 mm pouch costs less per unit and is ample for portions; the 300 mm one earns its place when the product is elongated, such as a chorizo or a length of cured sausage.

Are they suitable for sous vide cooking?

Low-temperature cooking calls for pouches specifically declared fit for that use by the manufacturer.
