Commercial Applications
The 18x22 size handles the largest cuts in commercial meat operations.

BBQ restaurants and competition teams rely on these pouches for prep storage and wet-aging briskets. Food service operations seal bulk portions of pulled pork, sliced meats, and prepared proteins. The generous dimensions also accommodate whole turkeys for holiday pre-orders and catering prep.

Size Guide
The 18x22 pouch size accommodates products up to approximately 16x20 inches, allowing adequate material for proper sealing. For optimal vacuum and seal quality, leave at least 2-3 inches of clearance at the open end. This size is ideal for:
- Whole packer briskets (10-18 lbs)
- Whole bone-in pork shoulders
- Large prime rib roasts
- Whole turkeys (12-16 lbs)
- Bulk ground meat portions (10-15 lbs)
- Multiple rack portions of ribs
Storage Recommendations
Store unused pouches in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight. Pouches maintain seal integrity for vacuum-packed foods in freezer storage at 0°F for 2-3 years when properly sealed. For wet-aging beef, maintain refrigeration at 34-38°F for optimal results.
