All external pouch machines work by clamping the open end of the vacuum pouch whilst the air is being removed. Because the end of the vacuum pouch is clamped shut, this type of machine needs to use a special type of pouch with a finely ribbed or textured back surface so that the air can be removed easily. This type of vacuum pouch is usually referred to as a ‘ribbed’ or ‘textured’ vacuum pouch. You will always get the best result from an external bag machine by using this type of vacuum pouch.

We supply a wide variety of vacuum pouches which will enable you to get the best from your Lava machine. The V100, V200, V300, V333 and V400 will take bags up to 30cms or 12 inches wide. The V500 will take bags up to 60cms or 24 inches wide.

Our vacuum pouches are made in Sweden from heavy duty polythene. When working out which size of bag you need, remember that our vacuum sealer bags have a one centimetre seam down each side. This means that you will need to allow an extra two centimetres of three-quarters of an inch of width when choosing bag sizes. You will also need to allow five centimetres or two inches at the top of the bag for the heat seal. Please note that the sizes given are rounded to the nearest inch.

We supply three sizes of continuous vacuum pouches. These must be cut to length and one end heat sealed before use. These rolls give you a lot of flexibility when packing and keep wastage to a minimum. However the requirement to cut and seal before use means that they are not as convenient as bags. Please note that the sizes given are rounded to the nearest inch.
