<![CDATA[Meat bag fastening]]>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

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.

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.

But maybe no more than it a person did the twist tie option. The tape machine looks fast but would like to hear pros and cons from someone who uses it.

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!

We were thinking of doing red for Italian too. Wish White twist ties were an option but they only have blue and red right now.

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!
