Made for Poultry Processing and Packaging
A loose bag can leave excess material around a processed bird and create a less finished appearance. These poultry shrink bags tighten around the bird when dipped briefly in hot water, while the curved bottom helps create a close, professional fit. They're useful for packaging home-processed poultry as well as birds being prepared for resale.
How to Use Poultry Shrink Bags
- Heat a pot of water to 185°F or higher.
- Place the chicken into the shrink bag neck first.
- Press out as much excess air as possible.
- Twist or spin the open end closed, then secure it with a ring and ring pliers or a zip tie.
- Cut a small 1" slit in the center of the bag just below the breast. This opening allows air to escape as the bag shrinks.
- Dip the bagged poultry into the hot water for 2 to 3 seconds, then remove it. Do not leave it submerged longer than 3 seconds, as water may enter through the slit.
- Cover the slit with the product label. For personal-use poultry without a label, strong waterproof tape can be used instead.
