Size guide
Two sizes, drawn to scale
The 11 x 24 is long and narrow. The 15 x 20 is short and wide. Pick by the shape of what you are sealing, not just the square inches.
Both bags shown at the same scale. The dashed line marks roughly where your seal lands once you leave headspace above the food.

Which one you want
11 × 24 in
Long cuts and bulk fills
The extra length carries anything that runs long rather than wide, and leaves room to reseal a few times before you run out of bag.
- Whole briskets and racks of ribs
- Backstraps, tenderloins, whole fish
- Bulk rice, beans, coffee and flour
- Fits a standard 11 in home sealer
15 × 20 in
Wide and bulky loads
The width takes anything you need to lay flat instead of folding, which keeps the seal clean and the pack stackable in the freezer.
- Turkey breast and large roasts
- Big batch portions laid flat
- Wide, thick or awkward cuts
- Needs a 15 in bar or a chamber sealer
