Why should I vacuum seal my product?
Vacuum packaging extends the shelf life of any fresh perishable product by three to five times its normal refrigerated life. By removing the air that surrounds food, vacuum sealing inhibits the growth of bacteria, mould and yeast as these microorganisms need oxygen to grow. Due to this, vacuum sealing not only allows for reducing food waste but also money saving quantity buying. Food can be bought in bulk then repackaged using a vacuum sealer. Vacuum sealers also allow for more efficient use of time, as meals can be prepared in advance, frozen and sealed to be consumed at a later date without compromising on freshness.
