Meat bag fastening
-
We use little 4 inch zip ties to keep our bags closed. Added benefit is you can use color codes if you have multiple products so we use the following:
Red- Italian
Green- Breakfast
Blue- Regular Ground
Yellow- Chorizo
Makes it simple in the freezer to find the exact product you are looking for and is a back up in case the label happens to fall off!Holden Nyhus This is an excellent idea

Holden Nyhus This is an excellent idea
It has really helped out and makes the freezer look pretty cool. I am notorious for running out of or misplacing labels, so this is a surefire way to make sure it gets labelled as soon as it comes off the grinder. We also use combinations to designate a hot vs regular or fat/lean ratios for ground products as well.
Haha Disclaimer though- your fingers may get tired after “zipping” a couple hundred of these!

Mschmidt The poly bag sealer works with 5 different colors of tape and is super simple to use. A zip tie is a cool idea too though, I like it Holden Nyhus
STOP what you are doing and watch Wee lil’ Austin show us how to use the bag sealer! https://youtu.be/kA4PLzeS9HU I shouldn’t laugh at him but I am a sore loser and he has beaten me at sporting clays and golf recently.

LOL…he looks so young
And WOW that tape machine looks like a huge time saver. Guess I might be sold on it now. All I have to do now is find the coupon code for 10%off and free shipping from the September Podcast… Thanks for the help Jonathon. Really enjoy you and Austin on the podcast and your honest feedback/review on products. -
there are a variety of colors for the meat bag tape. it is fast and easy to use. Easy to change the tape also

I previously have used scotch tape to close 1 lb. meat bags. I twist bags then fold over and tape. However sometimes the tape does not want to hold. Suggestions on weather twist ties work better(will it take longer to close) or get the meat bag tape and sealer machine. Most economical would be best right now. thanks
