Vacuum Pouches are generally used for extending the shelf life of a product and to keep them fresh for a long(er) period. In general, they are used for the storage of food (especially frozen product), like fish, but sometimes they are used in medical and non-food industries to prevent corrosion, degradation or oxidation of its contents.

The pouches are similar to three-side-seal pouches and are designed to work on chamber vacuum packing machines. The difference between these pouches are the layers of plastics. The layers are especially chosen to provide resistance to moisture and punctures.
