Ridley Acres There is actually a machine to do this. We have one hooked to our Vacuum stuffer. We can pack 50lbs a min with it!
There are a couple versions with some clipping every time you pull a lever (semi auto) or Clipping continually until it runs out of product or you tell it to stop. They are called Double clippers.

Looked up them double clippers. That’s far more production than I’ll be having for the foreseeable future. But good to know if I ever get there.

processhead Go to packaging header and select meat bags and it shows quantities of 100 for about $10.

Ok, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. If you search in the casings dropdown menu, they only show the commercial bulk quantity meat bags.

Ordering like 250 or 500 at a time would be nice, or hell, I could get by ordering 100. Not sure the cost savings would make it worth it though.

Has anyone seen an option for purchasing less than commercial quantities? I don’t see any option for buying less than a 1000 bags.

Even small/medium size processors will use these long tubes. Generally, a vacuum stuffer portions the meat into the long tubes and either the bags are clipped manually or automatically, depending on the equipment used. Essentially, the suffer feeds directly to the clipper machine which clips and cuts the tube.

You can tell it was done in a long tube because each end is pinched off and hog ringed. The packages are 1.5 lbs. There is a little bit of exposed pinched meat on each end.

Interesting thought. Makes sense, but. Now you have to seal both ends instead of one.
Which reminds me to add hog rings to the list.
Curious what others think.
