PE/PA Vacuum Bags

PE/PA Vacuum Bags

A packaging solution that helps protect food freshness and product integrity

Sartek Plastik PE/PA vacuum bags are high-strength multilayer packaging solutions designed for vacuum packaging meat, sucuk, salami, Kashar cheese, fish, seafood, nuts and a wide range of food products.

In a PE/PA structure, the polyethylene (PE) layer provides sealability, flexibility and moisture resistance, while the polyamide (PA) layer contributes to mechanical strength, puncture resistance and gas-barrier performance. Together, these layers create a transparent, durable and sealable bag suitable for vacuum applications.

After vacuuming, the bag conforms more closely to the shape of the product. This helps reduce the amount of air inside the package, limits contact with external conditions and provides a more orderly package appearance during handling and transport. Actual packaging performance depends on the product, storage temperature, bag thickness, sealing settings and required shelf life.

Why choose Sartek Plastik PE/PA vacuum bags?

Durable and reliable structure

The PA layer helps reduce the risk of puncture and tearing when packaging products with sharp or mechanically demanding surfaces. This is important for products such as bone-in meat, hard cheese, salami and sucuk, as well as packages that may be exposed to impact during transport.

Effective vacuuming and strong seals

The PE layer provides the heat-sealable surface of the bag. When used with suitable equipment and sealing parameters, it supports strong, consistent and leak-resistant closures. Keeping the product away from the sealing area and ensuring that the seal zone is clean are important for package integrity.

Transparency that keeps the product visible

The transparent bag structure allows the product to be inspected without opening the package. For Kashar cheese, sucuk, salami, fish, meat, hazelnuts and other products, it helps customers see the product’s colour, shape and general appearance directly.

Suitable for handling and storage

Vacuum packaging helps make the product more compact. This can contribute to better package organization during cold-chain and shipping processes. For frozen products, the bag’s low-temperature and distribution performance should be tested separately.

Options that can be adapted to different products

PE/PA vacuum bags can be evaluated in different thicknesses and sizes according to the product’s dimensions, weight, sharpness and storage conditions. Sartek Plastik can review your technical requirements and help identify a suitable bag solution.

Which products can be packaged?

Meat and delicatessen products

PE/PA vacuum bags can be used for red meat, minced meat, sucuk, salami, pastırma and similar delicatessen products. The durable multilayer structure helps reduce the risk of damage caused by hard or sharp product areas.

Cheese and dairy products

Kashar cheese and other hard or semi-hard cheeses can be presented in a more orderly and hygienic package format through vacuum packaging. Bag selection should consider the product’s fat content, surface moisture, storage temperature and intended use period.

Fish and seafood

For fish, fillets and other seafood products, vacuum bags help maintain package integrity during chilled storage and transport. Puncture resistance and suitable thickness are particularly important for products containing bones or hard edges.

Nuts and hazelnuts

For hazelnuts, nuts and similar products, the bag’s resistance to moisture, oxygen and aroma transmission is important. A suitable PE/PA structure can help reduce contact with the external environment and improve durability during transport. The product and package should be tested together for the intended shelf life.

Vegetables and other food products

For potatoes, onions, cut vegetables, ready meals and similar products, bag selection should consider the product’s respiration, moisture and gas-exchange characteristics. Vacuum packaging may not produce the same result for every product; the package format and process conditions should be determined for the specific product.

Non-food applications

When the appropriate technical properties and regulatory requirements are met, PE/PA structures can also be considered for non-food products. Examples include moisture-barrier bags for electronic circuit boards and sensitive components, heavy-duty bags for industrial parts, transport packaging for automotive components and vacuum storage solutions for certain textile products.

For medical or sterilization applications, a general PE/PA bag alone is not sufficient. The bag’s sterilization method, barrier performance, product-contact conditions and applicable regulatory or certification requirements must be verified separately.

What should be considered when selecting a bag?

The correct bag should not be selected based on dimensions alone. Product weight, sharpness, fat and moisture content, vacuum-machine type, sealing temperature, storage temperature, transport conditions and target shelf life should be evaluated together.

If the product contains bones, fish bones or hard corners, puncture and impact resistance become more important. For frozen products, low-temperature performance and seal integrity should be checked. If a long shelf life or high oxygen sensitivity is involved, oxygen transmission, water-vapour transmission and real-product shelf-life tests should be reviewed instead of relying only on the film name.
