160 Micron at the Most Common Bag Size — Who This Is For
The R-Vac 20x30cm is the most-sold bag in the LAVA range. It suits the widest variety of everyday use cases: standard meat portions, fish fillets, meal prep, batch cooking, and general food storage. For most buyers and most products, the 90-micron R-Vac is exactly right.
The RS-Vac 20x30cm exists because some buyers regularly seal products in this exact size that carry a puncture risk. At 160 micron, the bag handles those products without the seal integrity issues that can occur with thinner film over time.
Heavy Duty Film
The same practical 20x30cm size, upgraded for bone-in cuts, wild game, long-term storage, and commercial portioning where durability matters.
Bone-In Cuts at Standard Portion Size
A single T-bone steak, bone-in pork chop, beef rib portion, or lamb rack sits within the 20x30cm dimensions but carries exposed bone points. The RS-Vac resists that pressure throughout the storage period.
Wild Game with Shot or Bone Fragments
Processed venison, wild boar, or other game meat can retain small bone fragments or shot pellets even after careful dressing and butchering. These work through thin film over time in the freezer.
Commercial and Small-Scale Butchery
A butcher shop or small food business sealing bone-in portions daily across hundreds of bags benefits from the extra thickness. The cost difference is small compared to product loss from a failed seal.
Storage Beyond 12 Months
For anything frozen for 12 to 18 months or longer, the 160-micron film provides a thicker oxygen barrier and a more durable pack with additional margin for long-term storage.
When Standard R-Vac Still Makes Sense
For boneless cuts, fish fillets without sharp fins, and general everyday use where puncture is not a concern, the standard R-Vac 20x30cm is the right bag and costs less per pack.
Best For
Bone-in steaks and chops at standard portion size, wild game with bone fragments or shot, commercial butchery of bone-in portions at volume, and any 20x30cm-sized product going into 12 or more months of freezer storage.
Machine Compatibility
All LAVA vacuum packaging machines seal 160-micron foil. For non-LAVA machines, check the maximum foil thickness in your machine's specifications before ordering. Compatible with all LAVA vacuum packaging machines and external vacuum sealers rated for 160-micron foil.
