About the Bone Protection Material
Bone protection canvas
A bone guard for every bag
A vacuum bag often fails because something sharp inside pierces it: bone ends, rib tips and joint edges press against the film under vacuum and work a tiny hole into it over days or weeks. This waxy, food-grade canvas covers the sharp point, so the bag pulls tight without being pierced.

Specifications
The fix for the most common reason a vacuum bag fails: a sharp bone piercing the film. This waxy, food-grade canvas wraps over the bone before sealing, so the bag holds its vacuum instead of slowly leaking and spoiling the meat. Cut a strip, lay it on the bone, then bag and seal as normal. One roll is 10cm x 5m, enough for many cuts. A favourite of hunters and butchers packing bone-in game and meat. Works with any vacuum bag; especially useful with vacuum seal bags for bone-in cuts.

Common questions
What does it actually do?
It puts a tough, food-grade canvas barrier between a sharp bone and the vacuum bag, so the bone cannot pierce the film. That lets the bag hold a full vacuum through long freezer storage instead of slowly leaking from a puncture.
How do I use it?
Cut a strip from the roll, lay it directly over the sharp bone, then put the cut into your vacuum bag and seal as normal. It takes only a few seconds per cut.
How much is on a roll?
One roll is 10cm wide and 5m long, enough to cover the bones on many cuts before you need another.
Do I still need a heavy-duty bag?
The material helps any bag, but for the sharpest bone-in cuts the best result is the bone protection material plus a heavy-duty 160-micron bag like the RS-Vac. The canvas covers the sharp point and the thick film resists the rest.
Is it food safe?
Yes. It is a food-grade canvas, made to be in direct contact with the meat and bone during sealing.
