The Step Up From the 10 x 40cm — More Width, More Length
The 10 x 40cm is the standard narrow bag for sausages and asparagus, slim enough to fit snugly around a single bratwurst. But some products in the same narrow-long category do not fit cleanly in a 10cm wide bag. A thick salami, a duck leg, a pair of linked sausages side by side, a whole small trout, a wide bundle of spring onions, these products either bulge at the sides of a 10cm bag or stretch the film under vacuum, which can compromise the seal.
5cm More Width and 5cm More Length
At 15cm wide and 45cm long, the 15 x 45cm gives 5cm more width and 5cm more length than the 10 x 40cm. That extra space is enough for thicker long-format foods without moving into a standard square-format bag.
Thicker Sausages and Salami
Standard bratwurst fits in 10cm. A thicker farmhouse sausage, a coarse salami log, or a linked pair sitting side by side seats cleanly in 15cm without the bag stretching across the product.
Whole Small Fish
A whole small trout, a bream, a flathead, or a similar fish of 35-42cm in body length goes into the 15x45cm with the head and tail fitting within the bag length. The 10x40cm is too narrow for the body width of most whole fish.
Duck Legs and Bone-In Joints
A single duck leg or a small lamb shank sits within the 15cm width without compression. At 45cm, the bag has enough length to accommodate the joint with room to spare above the knuckle for a clean weld.
Long Narrow Vegetables
Whole leeks, spring onion bundles, full celery stalks, and long runner beans that exceed 40cm in length but do not need the width of a 20x30cm bag.
Same R-Vac Construction
The fleece-layer construction and material specs are identical to every R-Vac bag in the range. Swiss-made PA/PE multilayer, 70-micron, plasticizer-free, BPA-free, dishwasher-safe, multi-year freezer rated, up to 95°C for microwave and boiling water. Any vacuum sealer with a 15cm or wider seal bar handles this bag — every machine in the LAVA vacuum packaging range qualifies.
Best For
Thick sausages and salami logs, whole small fish such as trout, bream, and flathead, duck legs and small lamb shanks, linked sausage pairs, long full-length vegetables, and any product that is too wide for the 10cm narrow bag but does not need a standard square-format bag.
Machine Compatibility
Compatible with all LAVA vacuum packaging machines and all other external vacuum sealers on the market.
R-Vac 15 x 45cm — Common Questions
What is the difference between the 10 x 40cm and the 15 x 45cm?
What is the difference between the 15 x 30cm and the 15 x 45cm?
Both are 15cm wide. The 15 x 30cm is for shorter products, thin steaks, fish fillets, chicken strips, and narrow portions up to approximately 27cm long. The 15 x 45cm is for products that share the 15cm width but need the additional 15cm of length, whole fish, duck legs, full-length vegetables, and longer salami portions.
Can I use this bag for sous vide?
Can I reuse these bags?
I need a 15cm wide bag longer than 45cm. What are my options?
Vacuum seal rolls in 15cm width let you cut any length you need — the practical solution for products longer than 42cm that need a 15cm wide bag. Custom pre-made bags are also available from 2,000 units. Contact LAVA Australia to discuss dimensions and pricing.
