Product Description
These are home compostable vacuum pouches designed specifically for sous vide cooking, supplied by Sustainapouch in a pack of 200. Made to an 80MU gauge, they offer the structural integrity needed for prolonged immersion cooking while being suitable for general vacuum-packed food storage as well.
Where standard vacuum pouches can swell, delaminate, or fail when exposed to sustained heat, these pouches are rated to withstand temperatures up to 85°C over extended cooking periods — making them appropriate for the long, low-temperature cycles that sous vide preparation demands. That thermal stability is the critical difference in a professional kitchen context, where pouch failure during an overnight cook is a serious operational problem.
From a practical standpoint, the compostable construction means operators can reduce plastic waste without compromising on food safety or performance. Key operational advantages include:
- Rated for sous vide immersion cooking at sustained temperatures
- Food-safe and suitable for direct contact with raw and cooked proteins, fish, and vegetables
- Compostable construction supports waste reduction commitments
- Suitable for use with standard vacuum sealing equipment
- Useful for both cook and chill and ambient storage applications
The 250x250mm format is a versatile size suited to individual portions, fish fillets, and smaller cuts of meat. Kitchens with higher throughput or larger batch requirements may find a bigger pouch format more practical for certain applications.
If you are unsure whether this size and gauge are the right match for your vacuum sealing equipment or your specific sous vide process, the team is happy to talk it through before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- These are smooth-surface pouches, so they are designed for use with chamber vacuum sealers rather than external suction machines, which typically require embossed or textured pouches to channel air effectively. If you are unsure which type of sealer you have, it is worth checking before ordering.
- Home compostable certification means the material breaks down under conditions achievable in a standard composting environment, without requiring industrial composting facilities. In practice, this gives commercial operators a more accessible end-of-life route for used pouches compared to industrially compostable alternatives, though local waste collection arrangements will determine how straightforward this is.
- The 250x250mm format works well for individual portions and smaller cuts, but kitchens running larger batch quantities or cooking bigger joints and proteins are likely to find a larger pouch format more practical. A different size within the same range may be a better fit — the team can advise based on your specific service requirements.
