Same Width as the 20 x 30cm — 10cm Shorter for a Reason
The 20 x 30cm is the most popular bag in the range and handles the widest range of everyday products well. But it is 30cm long, and for products that are only 15-18cm in their longest dimension, that extra 10-12cm of bag length sits empty at one end. Empty bag length does not affect the seal or the vacuum, but it is wasted film per bag and adds up over 50 packs.
A Neater Fit for Compact Products
At 20 x 20cm, the bag fits compact products squarely. A corn cob cut to 18cm sits in the bag with minimal excess. A whole capsicum or bell pepper, an apple or pear, a large onion, or a portioned round of cheese all fit within a 20cm square footprint without needing to fold or angle anything.
The bag compresses around the product cleanly, the fleece channels draw air out across the full surface, and the weld at the top fires within 20cm of the product rather than 30.
For bulk processors and home batch packers who seal the same compact product repeatedly, the 20x20cm reduces per-bag waste relative to the 20x30cm and produces neater, more proportionate packs on smaller products.
The product image for this page shows a corn cob, one of the most common uses. Raw corn cobs cut from the husk, individually sealed and frozen, come out of the freezer months later with the same flavour and texture as fresh. The 20x20cm is wide enough to accommodate the full diameter of a corn cob and short enough that the bag sits snugly rather than leaving excess at each end.
Same R-Vac Construction
The fleece-layer construction, material specs, and temperature ratings are identical to every R-Vac bag in the range. Swiss-made PA/PE multilayer, 70-micron, plasticizer-free, dishwasher-safe, rated for multi-year freezer storage and up to 95°C for microwave and boiling water. Any vacuum sealer with a 20cm or wider seal bar handles this bag, every machine in the LAVA vacuum packaging range qualifies.
Best For
Corn cobs, bell peppers and capsicum, whole apples and pears, onions and shallots, round cheese portions, thick short steaks and medallions, portioned mince pucks and burger patties, whole small root vegetables, and any product with a compact square footprint where a 30cm bag has too much excess length.
Machine Compatibility
Compatible with all LAVA vacuum packaging machines and all other external vacuum sealers on the market.
R-Vac 20 x 20cm — Common Questions
What is the difference between the 20 x 20cm and the 20 x 30cm?
Can I use this bag for sous vide?
Can I seal corn cobs directly from the garden?
Can I reuse these bags?
What if my product is slightly larger than 20 x 20cm?
The next step up is the 20 x 30cm, same 20cm width with 30cm length. If the product is wider than 20cm, the 25 x 35cm is the standard step up. For exact custom sizing, vacuum seal rolls cut to any dimension are the most flexible option.
