If you're tired of throwing out spoiled food or dealing with freezer burn, there's a simple solution: vacuum sealing. Specifically, using a vacuum sealer roll—like the one from Ultrean—can significantly extend the freshness of your groceries, meal preps, and bulk buys.
In this blog, we’ll show you how vacuum sealing works, why a roll is better than pre-cut bags, and how to use it to prolong the shelf life of your food—whether you're storing it in the fridge, freezer, or pantry.
🧊 Why Does Vacuum Sealing Help Food Last Longer?
Vacuum sealing removes air from your food packaging, preventing oxygen exposure that causes spoilage, mold, and bacteria growth. With less air inside, your food stays:
-
Fresher
-
Longer-lasting
-
Freezer-burn-free
📦 Why Use a Vacuum Sealer Roll Instead of Pre-Cut Bags?
The Ultrean Vacuum Seal Roll gives you customizable bag sizes, which means:
-
Less waste
-

-
Strong, puncture-resistant material
-
Safe for sous vide, freezing, and microwaving
You’re not limited to one size—you make bags as big or small as you need.
📅 How Much Longer Does Food Last When Vacuum Sealed?
Here’s a quick comparison of traditional storage vs vacuum sealing:
| Food Type | Regular Storage Life | Vacuum Sealed Life |
|---|---|---|
| Raw Meat | 3–5 days (fridge) | 1–2 weeks (fridge) |
| Frozen Meat | 6 months | 2–3 years |
| Cheese | 1–2 weeks | 4–8 months |
| Cooked Meals | 3–4 days | 1–2 weeks |
| Vegetables | 3–7 days | 1–2 weeks |
✅ Results may vary based on storage conditions and food type.
