Same Dimensions as the R-Vac 25x40cm — 75% Thicker Film
The R-Vac 25x40cm handles most products that need the 25cm width and 37cm of usable length cleanly: whole duck breasts, pork tenderloins, paired chicken breasts, and long fish portions. For the same products when they carry bone or sharp edges, the RS-Vac 25x40cm is the right substitution.
Heavy Duty Film
Same 25 x 40cm working size, with a thicker film structure for bone pressure, sharp edges, and extended freezer storage.
When This Size Makes Sense
Choose this bag when the product fits the 25 x 40cm footprint but needs more puncture resistance than the standard 90-micron R-Vac film provides.
Bone-In Duck Legs and Whole Duck Pieces
A whole duck leg at 25-30cm in length and 20-24cm in width has an exposed knuckle joint at the end of the drumstick. Sealed into the 25x40cm RS-Vac, the knuckle sits within the bag without pressing against the seal area, and the 160-micron film handles the bone pressure in long-term freezer storage without puncturing.
Bone-In Chicken Leg Quarters
A full chicken leg quarter with thigh and drumstick joined has a prominent knuckle at the bottom of the drumstick and exposed bone at the thigh joint. In a standard 90-micron bag, those joint ends can work through the film over months. The RS-Vac eliminates that risk at the right bag size for this cut.
Whole Pork Tenderloins for Extended Storage
A pork tenderloin is a boneless cut, but a whole tenderloin sealed for 12 or more months of freezer storage benefits from the stronger oxygen barrier and more durable pack that 160-micron film provides compared to 90-micron.
Wide Bone-In Game Cuts
Venison shoulder portions, bone-in game bird pieces, and wild boar cuts that fall within the 25cm width and 37cm usable length benefit from the RS-Vac's extra thickness for the same reasons as domestic bone-in cuts.
When Standard R-Vac Still Makes Sense
For boneless duck breasts, paired chicken breasts, fish fillets, and other products in this size range without bone or sharp edges, the standard R-Vac 25x40cm is the right bag and costs less per pack.
Best For
Bone-in duck legs and chicken leg quarters, bone-in game bird portions, whole pork tenderloins for extended storage, and any product at 25cm width and up to 37cm length that carries bone protrusions or a long-term storage requirement.
Machine Compatibility
All LAVA vacuum packaging machines seal 160-micron foil without modification. For non-LAVA machines, check the maximum foil thickness specification before ordering. Compatible with all LAVA vacuum packaging machines and external vacuum sealers rated for 160-micron foil.
RS-Vac 25 x 40cm — Common Questions
What is the difference between the RS-Vac 25x40cm and the R-Vac 25x40cm?
Will my machine seal 160-micron bags?
All LAVA vacuum sealers seal 160-micron foil. For non-LAVA machines, check the maximum foil thickness in your machine’s specification sheet. Consumer-grade food saver machines often max out at 90 to 120 microns.
What is the next RS-Vac size up from the 25x40cm?
The next size in the RS-Vac range is the 30x50cm, followed by the 40x60cm. See the RS-Vac all-sizes page for the full range from 16x25cm to 40x60cm.
Can I use the RS-Vac for sous vide cooking?
Can I reuse these bags?
Yes. They are dishwasher-safe and reusable. The 160-micron film is more durable through multiple wash and reseal cycles than standard 90-micron bags.
