Yeah but all the towns they went through to get there benefited from that. They would’ve travelled great distances.

Fuel, food, pubs, caravan parks, motels, repair shops, small shopping places in towns, camping places, $2 peep shows, dodgy massages, it all adds up.

People with old cars and their concerns, LOL.

It sucks all the air out and seals the bag shut.
With no air things stay fresher longer.
Also removes the chance of freezer burn.

Actually I believe their may be a difference between 'Vacuum Sealed' & 'Cryovac'd'.

Both use the same sort of process, one is done on a 'home' machine, the other on a more powerful professional machine, generally with stronger bags.

I'm probably splittng hairs, but I know that the 'reasonable quality' home machine we have does not do as good a job as one gets from most butchers shops for example.

For a short duration trip either will do if frozen too, for longer periods I'd go with the butcher's machine every time.

Our default meat storage is cryovac'd & frozen. In hot climates portable freezers rarely remain at the recommended minus 18 deg.C but with the contents cryovac'd we have never had any problems & some has been kept for many months in the tropics.

Differences Between Cryovac And Vacuum Sealed Packaging
Manufacturing Process

Cryovac and vacuum-sealed packaging rely on similar principles, but their manufacturing process has some key differences. Cryovac, for example, is a brand of vacuum-sealed packaging that utilizes specialized materials and machinery in its production.

The method of Cryovac involves packing food products in a high-barrier, vacuum-sealed bag, which is then heat-sealed and cooled in a controlled environment. Vacuum-sealed packaging, on the other hand, is generally produced using simpler machinery and materials.
Performance

One of the main differences between Cryovac and vacuum-sealed packaging can be found in their respective performance. Cryovac boasts a range of benefits, including improved product safety, extended shelf life, and increased food quality.

It provides superior product protection, preservation, and a range of added attributes such as leak resistance and durability. While vacuum-sealed products can still provide improved storage and preservation, they may not perform as well as Cryovac products in terms of safety and quality.
Cost

Another key difference between Cryovac and vacuum-sealed packaging is the cost factor. Cryovac products may be more expensive than other types of packaging due to the specialized materials and machinery used in their production.

However, Cryovac products also offer significant benefits that may justify the additional cost for many businesses. Alternatively, vacuum-sealed packaging is generally less costly since it is less specialized and requires less expensive and complicated machinery.

Cryovac and vacuum-sealed packaging offer benefits in their own right; the specialized materials and manufacturing processes used in Cryovac make it an ideal solution for businesses seeking superior product protection and shelf-life extension.

Ultimately, the decision between the two types of packaging will depend on your business’s specific needs and budgetary concerns. Regardless of your choice, vacuum-sealed packaging remains a valuable asset in the food industry and can help your business ensure product safety and quality while reducing waste and costs.
