  • Bags or rolls?

    Bags are ready to use and fastest for regular portions. Rolls let you cut any length, handy for long or odd-shaped food.

  • Which width?

    Up to your sealer's maximum bag width. Leave about 5cm above the food so the bag seals cleanly.

Swiss foil quality

Why LAVA bags outlast cheap foils

  1. 01

    Channels built into the film

    A patented fleece layer forms the air channels inside the multilayer film, not stamped into it, so there are no thin spots.

  2. 02

    Multilayer, puncture-resistant

    PA/PE layers take bones and edges; RS-Vac at 160 microns for the sharpest.

  3. 03

    BPA-, plasticiser- and microplastic-free

    Odourless, food-safe and rated for years in the freezer.

  4. 04

    Up to 95 °C

    Sous vide for up to 2 hours, microwave and boiling water; reusable and dishwasher-safe.

Vacuum bag questions

Are vacuum sealer bags the same as vacuum packing or cryovac bags?

Yes. Vacuum sealer bags, vacuum seal bags, vacuum pack, packing or packaging bags, vacuum sealing bags and, in Australia, cryovac bags are the same thing: food vacuum bags that keep meat, fish, game and vegetables fresh in the fridge and freezer. For an external sealer they need embossed channels, like R-Vac.

Do LAVA vacuum bags fit my vacuum sealer?

Yes: R-Vac, B-Vac and Z-Vac bags work in any external vacuum sealer. RS-Vac at 160 microns needs a sealer that can seal thick foil (every LAVA can; check other brands). G-Vac bags are smooth and only for chamber machines.

Can I sous vide or boil in these bags?

R-Vac, RS-Vac and Z-Vac bags take up to 95 °C: sous vide for up to 2 hours, the microwave and boiling water. For longer, hotter cooks use H-Vac cooking bags: 85 °C for up to 72 hours, 100 °C for up to 2 hours, 121 °C for up to 30 minutes.

How long does vacuum-sealed food keep in the freezer?

Meat, poultry and fish keep their quality for 2–3 years at −18 °C when vacuum sealed, mince about 12 months (LAVA's guide values), against about 6 months unsealed.

What size bag should I choose?

No wider than your sealer's maximum bag width, a little wider than the food, and long enough to leave a few centimetres above it for the seal. Not sure? The mix set has five sizes to try.

Bags or rolls?

Bags are ready to fill, for portions you seal often. Rolls are cut to any length, for long or odd shapes like a whole fish or a rack of ribs.

Can I mix sizes and types for the discount?

Yes. Every bag and roll pack in your cart counts toward your tier, any size and type, the Mix Set and the A-Vac test set included. Bulk cartons have their own fixed price and don't count.

When is a bulk carton better?

When you use one size a lot: a carton holds 1,000 to 2,500 bags of one size at a fixed price, in most sizes the lowest price per bag.

Vacuum sealer bags in Australia

LAVA's vacuum bags are made in Switzerland from a PA/PE multilayer film with the air channels built into a patented fleece layer. They're free of BPA, plasticisers and microplastics, odourless and food-safe, and rated for years in the freezer.

The R-Vac range covers 30 sizes from 10×10 to 70×100cm and fits every external vacuum sealer. For bones and sharp edges there's the 160-micron RS-Vac, for coffee and tea the light-proof K-Vac, for display the black B-Vac, for chamber machines the smooth G-Vac, for dry aging the breathable A-Vac, and for electronics the anti-static I-Vac bags. Bulk cartons of up to 2,500 bags keep kitchens and butchers stocked.

Vacuum sealer bags, vacuum seal bags for food, vacuum pack bags, vac bags or cryovac bags: in Australia they're all names for the same thing. The embossed LAVA bags work in every external vacuum sealer, the smooth G-Vac bags in chamber machines.
