The 20cm vacuum sealer rolls in two lines
The Hendi 20cm embossed vacuum sealer rolls come as a pack of two rolls, each 6m long and 20cm wide: a two-layer bag, 60 micron food-grade polyethylene inside and 15 micron polyamide outside, 75 microns in total. Rated from -20 to 100°C, they work on bar sealers and chamber machines. This is the narrow width, for garnishes and portions.
Who they are for
For anyone who bags many small things: peels for service, the week’s herbs, a portion of cut fruit, a single serve of premix for delivery. In a 28cm bag a sprig of rosemary floats in a sea of plastic; with the 20cm the bag is the right size and half the waste. At home it is the size for everything: a bag per infusion, one for special ice, one for leftover citrus.
Twenty centimetres: the right size of the 20cm rolls
A 20cm wide bag sealed on both ends comfortably holds a 300-400g portion, or half a litre of liquid in a chamber machine. The 12m in the pack make sixty bags 20cm long, sixty garnishes or sixty single serves: for a bar that preps every day, that is a month’s stock.
The embossing is the raised texture on one of the two sides: it lets the air through to the bottom while a bar sealer extracts from the mouth. In a chamber machine it is not needed, because the vacuum is pulled across the whole chamber, but it does no harm: the same roll works on both machines.

Seventy-five microns, and why they matter
Thin bags are pierced by the corner of an ice block or the stem of a herb, and a pierced bag is a lost vacuum that nobody notices until it is opened. The 75 microns hold, and they take the 100°C of sous vide cooking without the seal giving way. The maker declares that the materials filter UV light: the contents are protected from light as well.
How to cut it
Pull the roll out of the sealer to the length you need, bring down the cutter and seal one end: the bag is ready. A portion needs twenty centimetres of length, a garnish as little as ten. With a chamber machine, cut with scissors and leave three fingers of margin for the seal.
Choose the 20cm vacuum sealer rolls if
If you bag garnishes, portions and single serves, or if you make infusions and keep leftovers at home. For large batches, trays and two-litre batches you need the 28cm roll. Bars that work every day keep both in the roll holder, in turn.
