Nutri-Lock Vacuum Sealer Bags, Commercial Grade, Works with Sous Vide, BPA Free, 100 Quart Bags 8 x 12 Inch Review (2026)

A Bulk Box Built for Frequent Bagging

This is a box of 100 pre-cut vacuum sealer bags measuring 8 by 12 inches, the standard quart size used for single meal portions, small batches of fermented peppers, or sous vide cuts of meat. Because the bags come pre-cut rather than as a roll, there is no cutting or heat-sealing one end yourself before use, which speeds up a bagging session but also means you cannot customize the length for an odd-shaped item. At 100 bags per box, this is aimed at someone who vacuum seals regularly, whether for weekly meal prep, sous vide cooking, or storing quart portions of a fermented batch, rather than someone who bags food only occasionally.

3.5 Mil Commercial-Grade Film

The bags are made from a 3.5 mil BPA and phthalate free film described as commercial grade, which is thicker than many basic consumer vacuum bags and more resistant to tearing from stems, bones, or peppers with some bite to them. That thickness matters for fermentation use in particular, since bag-based ferments can develop gas that presses against the film, and a thin bag is more likely to develop pinholes under that pressure. The film is also rated to work with sous vide cooking, meaning it can tolerate sustained time in warm water without breaking down, in addition to standard freezer storage duty.

Works With Common Clamp-Style Sealers

Nutri-Lock states these bags work with FoodSaver, Seal-a-Meal, Weston, Nesco, and Hamilton Beach machines, which covers most of the clamp-style external vacuum sealers sold for home kitchens. That broad compatibility is useful if you already own one of these machines and do not want to hunt for a brand-matched bag. The bags are not chamber-sealer bags, so anyone using a chamber vacuum machine for fermentation or sous vide will need a different product built for that style of sealing, since chamber bags are typically not embossed the way clamp-style bags need to be for air channels.

Best Value in Bulk, Less So for Light Use

Per-bag cost drops sharply at 100 count compared with smaller packs of 20 or 30, so the value case is strongest for someone bagging vacuum-sealed ferments, sous vide proteins, or freezer meals on a regular basis. Someone who vacuum seals only a few times a year will likely go through a fraction of the box before the rest sits in a cupboard, though properly stored unused bags do not expire quickly. The fixed 8 by 12 inch size is also a limitation for larger batches, since there is no way to resize a pre-cut bag the way a roll allows, so very large cuts of meat or big vegetable batches may need a bigger bag entirely.

Who Should Buy This Box

Choose this if you vacuum seal quart-size portions often, whether for sous vide cooking, freezer meal prep, or packing fermented vegetables under vacuum, and you already own a clamp-style sealer from one of the supported brands. The thicker 3.5 mil film and sous vide rating make it a safer choice than thin generic bags for anything that will sit in warm water or under fermentation gas pressure. Skip it if your sealer is a chamber-style vacuum machine, or if you only seal food a handful of times a year and would rather buy a smaller box to avoid a large box sitting unused.
