Large Bone-In Cuts at 30cm Width — Where the Standard Film Runs Out
The R-Vac 30x50cm is suited for whole medium chicken, large fish up to 45cm, and large boneless roasts at this size. For the same product dimensions with bone in, the RS-Vac is the practical upgrade.
Heavy Duty Film for Larger Bone-In Portions
The 30 x 50cm footprint gives the width and usable length for larger cuts, while the 160-micron film adds the puncture resistance needed for exposed bones and extended storage.
Bone-In Legs of Lamb at the Smaller End
A whole bone-in leg of lamb at 35-44cm in body length and up to 30cm at its widest sits within the RS-Vac 30x50cm. The projecting shank bone and the hip joint bone are the puncture risks. At 160 micron, the bag handles both through months of freezer storage without the film failing at the bone contact points.
Large Bone-In Pork Shoulder Sections
A bone-in pork shoulder portion at 30cm in width with the shoulder blade intact has a large flat bone edge running close to the bag surface when sealed. In a standard 90-micron bag, the blade edge can create abrasion points over time. The RS-Vac's extra thickness handles the shoulder blade contact without degrading the seal.
Whole Duck or Goose Portions with Frame
A whole duck or a goose portion with the backbone frame, rib cage sections, or wing joints still attached has multiple exposed bone edges at unpredictable angles. At 160 micron, these are handled cleanly at the standard 30cm-wide portion size.
Bone-In Game Cuts at Mid-Length
Venison shoulder pieces, wild boar rack sections, and bone-in game cuts that fall within the 30cm width and 47cm usable length benefit from the RS-Vac's extra thickness for the same reasons as domestic bone-in cuts.
Extended Commercial Freezer Storage
For a small butcher shop, a catering operation, or a food production business sealing bone-in product in the 30x50cm format for storage beyond 12 months, the 160-micron RS-Vac provides better long-term seal integrity than the standard film.
When Standard R-Vac Still Makes Sense
For boneless whole chickens, large fish without sharp fins, and boneless roasts at this size, the standard R-Vac 30x50cm is the right bag and costs less per pack.
Machine Note
All LAVA vacuum packaging machines seal 160-micron foil without modification. For non-LAVA machines, check the maximum foil thickness specification before ordering.
Best For
Bone-in legs of lamb at mid-length, large bone-in pork shoulder sections, whole duck and goose portions with bone, bone-in game cuts at 30cm width, and any large product in this size range with exposed bone going into extended freezer storage.
Machine Compatibility
Compatible with all LAVA vacuum packaging machines and external vacuum sealers rated for 160-micron foil.

The vacuum sealer bags are very good and work great. It is easy to adjust the sealing power with my V.100 for different foil thicknesses.
