13cm Wide, 52cm Long — Wider Than the 10cm Bags, Longer Than Most Options
The narrow-long series in the R-Vac range covers three widths: 10cm for standard sausages and asparagus, 13cm for this bag, and 15cm for thicker sausages and whole small fish. The 13cm width fills a specific gap between the two ends of that series.
Purpose-Built for Long Cylindrical Products
This format gives more clearance than the 10cm narrow bags while keeping a tighter, more proportionate fit than a standard rectangular bag. It is especially useful for salami, cured meat logs, thick linked sausages, and full-length narrow produce.
Full Salami Logs
A standard home-made or commercial salami at 10-12cm in diameter and 40-50cm in length sits with appropriate clearance. At 52cm of usable length, the full log fits without cutting and the casing maintains its round shape through the vacuum cycle.
Thick Linked Sausages and Bratwurst Pairs
Where a single standard bratwurst fits in the 10cm bag, a thick farmhouse sausage or a pair of links joined at the twist sits better in the 13cm width. The extra clearance prevents the casing from pressing against the bag during vacuum draw.
Bone-In Osso Buco Portions
A cross-cut veal or beef shin with the bone intact is roughly 10-12cm in diameter and 10-12cm in height. The 13cm width handles the bone-in portion with enough clearance for a clean vacuum and a proper weld at the top.
Full-Length Leeks and Tall Vegetables
A whole leek at full harvest length — 45-55cm from root to tip — sits in the 13 x 55cm bag without being trimmed or folded. The 13cm width creates a proportionate pack without excess film.
Cured Meats and Charcuterie Logs
A lonza, a coppa, a rolled pancetta, or a similar cylindrical cured product at 10-12cm in diameter and up to 50cm in length has the same dimensional requirements as a salami.
Same R-Vac Construction
The fleece-layer construction and material specs are identical to every R-Vac bag. Swiss-made PA/PE multilayer, 90-micron, plasticizer-free, dishwasher-safe, rated for multi-year freezer storage and up to 95°C. Any vacuum sealer with a 13cm or wider seal bar handles this bag, every machine in the LAVA vacuum packaging range qualifies.
Best For
Full salami logs, thick sausages and linked pairs, bone-in osso buco portions, cured meat logs such as coppa, lonza, and pancetta, whole leeks and full-length tall vegetables, and any cylindrical product between 10cm and 12cm in diameter and 40-50cm in length.
Machine Compatibility
Compatible with all LAVA vacuum packaging machines and all other external vacuum sealers on the market.

This is an excellent quality vacuum sealer bag. Not like the cheap throw-away-stuff you usually get online. I don’t buy poor quality from China anymore!
