About the ES-Vac 12m Vacuum Seal Rolls (Extra-Strong, 160 Microns)
ES-Vac rolls
The heavy-duty roll, cut to any length
The standard 90-micron E-Vac roll handles most everyday sealing. ES-Vac is the heavy duty 160-micron roll for sharp edges, bone-in products, industrial items and long storage where the film has to hold.
- 75% thicker than E-Vac
- 160µm
- Four widths
- 15–30cm
- Two 6m rolls a pack
- 12m
- Sous vide up to 2 hours
- 95 °C
When it matters
Where the extra thickness pays off
Sharp edges
Exposed bone, sharp fins, game with bone fragments or shot, shellfish and hard-rind cheese with corners.
Industrial and non-food
Screws, bolts, threaded hardware, machined parts and medical items. Food-safe, but not limited to food.
Long-term storage
For 12 months or more: a more durable oxygen barrier, less prone to abrasion against the freezer or other packs.
E-Vac 90µm
The everyday roll
Meat portions, fillets, vegetables, batch cooking and sous vide, for less per metre.
ES-Vac 160µm
When puncture resistance counts
Bones, sharp edges, hardware, medical items and extended storage.
Width
Which width for which product
Choose the width closest to the widest point of the product, never narrower than it.
| Width | For |
|---|---|
| 15cm | Sausages with bone, slim portions, parts up to 12cm |
| 20cm | Standard bone-in portions, finned fish, parts up to 17cm |
| 25cm | Duck legs, thick bone-in chops, parts up to 22cm |
| 30cm | Whole bone-in legs, wide game, parts up to 27cm |
Wider than 30cm in 160-micron film? Custom ES-Vac rolls in any width are made from 1,000 units: contact LAVA Australia.
How it works
Cut, seal, load, seal
- 01
Cut the roll
To the bag length the product needs.
- 02
Seal one end
Across the seal bar, a weld-only cycle.
- 03
Load
Food, hardware or a component.
- 04
Vacuum and seal
A normal cycle on the open end.
A little more sealing time
Thicker film needs more heat to weld through. On a LAVA sealer with a numbered dial, try one or two positions higher than for E-Vac, then check the weld; your manual gives the setting for 160-micron foil. Every LAVA vacuum sealer seals it; many consumer sealers stop at 90 to 120 microns, so check another brand's maximum foil thickness first.
Same film
The RS-Vac film on a roll
The same 160-micron PA/PE multilayer fleece film as the RS-Vac heavy-duty bags: plasticiser-free, BPA-free and microplastic-free, approved for food contact, freezer-safe for years, dishwasher-safe and reusable. Pre-made bags are faster for one product size; rolls are more flexible for varied lengths.

How Mix & Value works
- 1Every bag and roll countsAny size or type of LAVA bags and rolls. Mix R-Vac bags with E-Vac rolls; the number of packs sets your tier.
- 2Three tiers5% off from 2 packs, 10% from 6, 15% from 10.
- 3Applied automaticallyNo code needed. Your cart shows the saving.
Example: 4 packs of R-Vac bags + 2 packs of E-Vac rolls = 6 packs, so all six get 10% off.Bulk cartons are fixed price and A-Vac dry-aging bags don't count.
04 · FAQ
Common questions
Can I mix different widths in one order and still get MIX & VALUE pricing?
Yes. MIX & VALUE counts every bag and roll pack in your cart, whatever the width. Add a 15cm pack, a 20cm pack, and a 25cm pack and the 2–5 pack price applies to all three.
Will my machine seal 160-micron rolls?
All LAVA vacuum sealers seal 160-micron foil. For non-LAVA machines, check the maximum foil thickness in your machine’s specification sheet. Some consumer-grade food savers max out at 90 to 120 microns. Attempting to seal 160-micron foil on an underpowered machine produces a weak or incomplete weld.
What sealing time setting should I use for the ES-Vac rolls?
Set the sealing time slightly higher than you use for the standard 90-micron E-Vac rolls. The thicker film requires more heat to weld completely. On LAVA machines with a numbered sealing time dial, try one or two positions higher than your normal setting for E-Vac rolls, then check the weld quality. Refer to your machine’s manual for guidance.
Are ES-Vac rolls suitable for non-food items?
Yes. The product images for this page include screws, bolts, and metal components vacuum sealed in ES-Vac bags. Hardware with sharp threads or points, engineering components with machined edges, and any industrial item requiring airtight, moisture-proof packaging in a cut-to-length bag format suits the ES-Vac roll.
What is the difference between the ES-Vac rolls and the RS-Vac pre-made bags?
Same 160-micron PA/PE multilayer fleece-layer film, same construction, same specs, different format. The RS-Vac pre-made bags have a fixed width and length with one end already sealed. The ES-Vac rolls have a fixed width but any length — you cut and seal both ends yourself. Pre-made bags are faster for consistent product sizes; rolls are more flexible for varied lengths.
Are there ES-Vac rolls wider than 30cm?
Not as a standard stocked product. Custom ES-Vac rolls in any width are available from 1,000 units. Contact LAVA Australia to discuss specifications and pricing.
