In today’s global food processing and retail industries, maintaining freshness and maximizing shelf life is a top priority. Vacuum bags — also known as vacuum pouches, PA/PE vacuum bags, or food vacuum sealer bags — are widely used across the UK, EU, US, Australia, and New Zealand for their superior oxygen barrier and durability.

VN Plastic manufactures high-performance PA/PE Vacuum Bags designed for food manufacturers, seafood exporters, butcher shops, supermarkets, and industrial users. Our multilayer vacuum pouches ensure excellent sealing strength, clarity, and protection — helping businesses reduce food waste and improve storage efficiency.

1.What Are Vacuum Bags?

A vacuum bag is a multilayer plastic pouch made from PA/PE (nylon/polyethylene) that removes air from inside the package before sealing. This creates a protective oxygen-free environment that:

• Prevents oxidation
• Slows bacterial growth
• Extends shelf life of food products
• Protects against freezer burn
• Maintains color, texture, and freshness

VN Plastic’s vacuum bags are engineered for excellent puncture resistance, high-barrier protection, and strong sealing performance, making them suitable for both chamber vacuum sealers and external suction machines.

2. Key Benefits of PA/PE Vacuum Bags

• Extended shelf life: High oxygen-barrier film keeps food fresher for longer
• Superior protection: Shields products from moisture, odors, and contaminants
• Strong & puncture resistant: Ideal for meat with bones, seafood shells, or sharp edges
• High clarity: Crystal-clear film enhances product display in retail environments
• Versatile: Compatible with freezing, refrigeration, marination, and sous-vide cooking
• Food-safe: Fully compliant with EU & FDA food-contact standards
• Customizable: Sizes, thickness, and printing available for branded packaging
• Reliable sealing: Works smoothly with industrial and household vacuum machines

4. Environmental Considerations

We also support customers in choosing the correct material thickness to reduce waste without compromising protection.
