Shrink bags are the best bags
you can use to present your product in an attractive way yet some of our customers
complain about the cost. You need to realize that you are selling a top quality
product and as such it deserves a top quality bag. You are not paying for the bag;
the customer is and you need to include the price of the bag, among
other things, in your price per pound. A four pound chicken is only going to
cost them 25¢ extra or .0625¢ per pound. These bags will deter freezer burn for
up to 1 year and that is saving them from throwing out a product they already paid good money for.
We purchase these
bags by the case and then count out each one in order to sell them
to you in small quantities. There is no other company that will sell
a case at a time let alone in the small quantities we do. This comes
at a price, you expect to be paid for you hard work you do in
raising birds and we expect to be paid for our hard work trying to
provide quality products and information to small scale farmers.
Our shrink bags are 55 micron high barrier. At
present we are carrying bags primarily for pastured poultry producers and
therefore have limited sizes on hand. If you have a specific size you need
please call us and we will check availability from our suppliers.

Pictures are for reference only
To use shrink bags
do the following:
Make a
drain rack out of PVC pipe (see below) that will hold 8-10 birds.
Drain birds from chill tank.
With the birds sitting on the rack with their “head” up, slide a bag
down over the chicken. Take one bird off the rack, turn it upside
down and push it all the way in to the bag. Squeeze the legs
together and gather the bag tightly around the legs. Then spin it to
form a “pigtail” out of the excess bag material. Staple the bag. The
stapler should go AROUND the pigtail and not through it. Then either
pierce the bag at the breast area, (over the breast bone) or pierce
the bag at the base of the clipped end of the bag by the legs to let
the air out. Place (dip) into 170-200° F hot water. Swirl the bag
around in the water or use a pair of tongs to hold the bird down (it
may want to float). (It is not necessary to use the basket shown
in the picture above.) There should be a rush of air and bubbles so be
careful not to get burned. The shrinking is done in an instant, pull
the bagged bird out of the water. When all done weigh the bird and
put a sticky label right over where the bag was pierced at the
breast. If you’re going to put a label on the package do it now
after wiping off excess water then place it in an iced cooler. No
need to close the hole if you pierced it at the feet end.
If you have a bubble of air inside the bag the bag was not pierced
sufficiently to let all the air out of the bag.
Do NOT place the
bird back into ice water. Water will leak back into bag, labels will not
stay on in water.

poultry producers and therefore have limited sizes on hand. If you have a
specific size you need please call us and we will check availability from
our suppliers.
These pictures are of actual processed chickens
that were frozen for 1-1/2 years. as you can see there is very little
freezer burn and
there was no noticeable taste difference between these and
fresher birds.
Try that with a regular plastic bag!
