Meat Bags

Fresh meat's colour is part of the sale, beef that looks brown rather than red puts customers off even if it's perfectly fine. Our meat bags are high density polythene, sized at 8x10 inches, giving butchers a straightforward, food-safe bag for wrapping cuts without trapping in moisture or dulling colour.

About Our Meat Bags

High density polythene is the standard material for meat bags because of how it interacts with the meat inside, it's strong enough to resist punctures from bone or sharp cuts, while still letting enough oxygen through to keep fresh meat looking red rather than turning a dull brown-grey, which is what happens when meat is sealed away from oxygen for too long.

At 8x10 inches, our bag suits individual cuts and counter-service portions rather than bulk or wholesale meat volumes. It's a simple, single-purpose product, which is exactly what most independent butchers and meat counters need for day-to-day wrapping. View the product here.

FAQs

What customer ask for!

1. Why do butchers use high density bags instead of standard plastic bags?

High density polythene resists punctures from bone and sharp cuts better than standard lightweight bags, while still allowing enough oxygen exchange to help keep fresh meat looking its natural colour.

2. Why does meat turn brown in some packaging?

Meat turns from red to brown when it's deprived of oxygen for an extended period, which is why butchery bags are designed to allow some oxygen permeability rather than sealing meat completely airtight.

3. What size is the meat bag suited to?

The Meat Bag High Density is 8x10 inches, suited to individual cuts and counter-service portions rather than bulk wholesale quantities.

4. Can this bag go in the freezer?

Yes, the bag is freezable, making it suitable for meat going straight from the counter into cold storage.

5. Can I order meat bags in bulk for my butchery or counter?

Yes, meat bags are supplied in bulk quantities at trade pricing, with next-day delivery available across London and the M25.
