Long and Narrow — the Format That Standard Bags Cannot Handle
A standard vacuum bag is roughly square — 20 x 30cm, 25 x 35cm. These work well for cuts of meat, fish fillets, and batch-cooked meals. For anything long and narrow, the square format creates two problems: excess film on the sides that the vacuum has to work through without any product contact, and wasted film that adds no functional value to the seal.
Built for Long, Narrow Products
At 10cm wide and 40cm long, the 10 x 40cm bag fits the product closely. A linked sausage or bratwurst sits inside with minimal side excess. Asparagus and baby corn stack neatly without bunching. A spring roll or a baguette portion goes in straight without having to be angled diagonally or curled.
This matters for two reasons. First, a bag that closely fits the product draws air down more directly — the fleece channels work across the product surface rather than over large empty film areas. The vacuum draws down faster and more evenly. Second, less wasted film per bag means the 50-pack goes further for this specific product than a standard-size bag would. Every bag in the pack is the right shape for the job.
Cleaner Fit
Long foods sit straight inside the bag without curling, angling, or folding. This reduces excess film and helps the product stay properly positioned during sealing.
Faster Air Draw
The narrow format lets the fleece-layer channels work closer to the product surface, helping the vacuum draw down faster and more evenly across the bag.
Less Film Waste
For sausages, asparagus, spring rolls, and other narrow items, the 10 x 40cm format avoids the unused side film created by standard square-format bags.
Ideal for Home Sausage Makers
The 10 x 40cm also suits home sausage makers who process in batches using a LAVA sausage filler alongside a vacuum packaging machine. After filling and linking, the individual sausages go directly into the 10 x 40cm bags for vacuum sealing and freezer storage — the bag length accommodates a standard-size linked pair without cutting the links apart.
Same R-Vac Construction
The patented fleece layer, PA/PE multilayer construction, temperature rating, and food contact certifications are identical to every other bag in the R-Vac range. Swiss-made, 70-micron, tasteless, odorless, dishwasher-safe, multi-year freezer rated.
Best For
Sausages and bratwurst, wieners and frankfurters, linked pairs of homemade sausages, asparagus and green beans, baby corn and corn cobs, spring rolls and dim sum, breadsticks and baguette portions, chilli peppers and thin vegetables, and any long narrow product that does not sit cleanly in a square-format bag.
Machine Compatibility
Compatible with all LAVA vacuum packaging machines and all other external vacuum sealers on the market. The 10cm width fits any machine with a seal bar of 10cm or wider — every machine in the LAVA range qualifies.
R-Vac 10 x 40cm — Common Questions
Is the 10 x 40cm bag only for sausages?
No — sausages are the most common use case but the narrow long format suits anything with a similar shape. Asparagus, baby corn, spring rolls, chilli peppers, breadsticks, baguette portions, and any long narrow vegetable or food product are all good fits. If the product is wider than 10cm in any direction, use a wider bag size. The R-Vac all sizes page has a full range of formats.
What if my sausages are wider than 10cm?
Standard bratwurst and fresh sausages typically measure 3-4cm in diameter, which sits comfortably within a 10cm bag. Thicker specialty sausages or salami logs that exceed 8cm in diameter will be a tight fit and may benefit from the 15 x 45cm R-Vac bag — wider format, still narrow enough for long products.
