40cm Wide, 160 Micron — The Large Heavy-Duty Bag for Wide-Bar Machines
The RS-Vac is the heavy-duty version of the standard R-Vac bag, built for big cuts, sharp edges, bones, shell, and long freezer storage.
Heavy-Duty Version of the Standard R-Vac
The RS-Vac uses the same Swiss-made PA/PE film and the same structured surface as the standard R-Vac bag, but at 160 micron it is roughly double the thickness.
That added thickness is what lets it stand up to bones, shell, sharp edges, and demanding freezer storage.
Built for Cuts That Destroy Standard Bags
Bones, joints, and sharp edges press against standard vacuum film. Over weeks in the freezer, a small puncture can let air back in, causing freezer burn and a wasted cut.
At 40 x 60cm, this bag combines heavy-duty foil with a size built for large bone-in cuts and demanding storage.
Extra Thick Film
The heavy-duty foil gives added resistance against bones, shells, joints, and sharp product edges.
Heat Safe
Safe for sous vide, boiling, and microwave use up to 95°C.
Long-Term Storage
Rated for multi-year freezer storage when large cuts need extended protection.
Dishwasher Safe
The bag can be washed and reused multiple times when used appropriately.
Whole Bone-In Legs
Built for whole bone-in legs of lamb or pork where joints, bone ends, and size demand stronger film.
Large Venison Haunches
Suitable for large game cuts, haunches, and heavy pieces that need long-term freezer protection.
Full Briskets
The 40 x 60cm format gives large briskets the working space needed for proper vacuum packing.
Big Game Cuts With Bone In
Made for demanding freezer storage where sharp bone edges would be risky in a standard vacuum bag.
Large Wet Cuts
The structured surface draws air out quickly and pulls liquid up slowly, helping produce a cleaner seal on wetter cuts.
Long Freezer Storage
Designed to hold the seal through long freezer storage where punctures and freezer burn are the main risks.
Wide-Bar Machine Requirement
Because the bag is 40cm wide, it needs a machine with a 40cm or wider seal bar to weld the full opening. In the LAVA range that is the V.400 Premium XL with its 46cm bar, the V.500 Premium XXL at 72cm, or the V.1200 Premium XXXL at 121cm.
The V.350 and narrower machines cannot seal it. On top of the width requirement, the 160-micron foil needs a machine that can adjust sealing time so the weld has long enough to bond the thicker film. The wide-bar LAVA machines all offer this.
Premium XL
46cm seal bar. The minimum compatible LAVA machine for this 40cm-wide bag.
Premium XXL
72cm seal bar. Better clearance and easier handling for production sealing.
Premium XXXL
121cm seal bar. Built for very wide, commercial, and industrial sealing work.
Pressed Structure for Reliable Air Removal
The structured surface on one side draws air out quickly and pulls liquid up slowly, so you get a clean seal even on large, wetter cuts.
LAVA presses this structure into the film rather than laminating it on, which is why the weld holds and the channel does not collapse under vacuum at this size.
Best For
Whole bone-in legs of lamb and pork, large venison haunches, full briskets, big game cuts with bone in, and any large sharp-edged product going into long-term freezer storage.
Compatible Machines
Compatible with the V.400 Premium XL, V.500 Premium XXL, and V.1200 Premium XXXL only. Confirm your machine has a 40cm or wider seal bar and can adjust sealing time before ordering.
