Bag Guidelines
▪ Package the freshest foods possible. The VS 105 Vacuum Sealer allows you to
maintain the food’s freshness up to five times longer than under normal stored
conditions.
▪ Delicate foods, moist foods and foods that need to hold their shape require pre-
freezing. Foods like meat, berries and bread can be frozen for up to 24 hours
without harm of freezer burn. Once food is hard, it is ready to be vacuum
packaged.
▪ If packaging fresh meats without pre-freezing, place a folded paper towel in
between the meat and the top of the bag. This will help absorb moisture.
▪ To vacuum liquids like soups, stews and casseroles, pre-freeze in a dish or ice
cube tray. Once frozen, vacuum package, label and stack in your freezer.
▪ For objects with sharp points or edges (bones, pasta, rice) pad the edges with
paper towels to prevent the bag from puncturing. We recommend our
Embossed Micro Channel bags or rolls for a thicker micron.
▪ Vacuum bags are boilable and microwavable. We do not recommend reusing
bags.
▪ Vegetables must be blanched before being packaged. Place in boiling water or
microwave until heated through but still crunchy. Vacuum package as normal.
**Do not vacuum package mushrooms or garlic.**
