By using the vacuum sealing appliance of the

correct size, it is possible to vacuum package
liquid or semi-liquid products (soups, sauces,
etc.) thus increasing their shelf life, while
keeping the freshness and taste unaltered.
When doing so, never fill bags up more than
50% of capacity, making sure that the bag
