I use a commercial wrapper but the wrap costs about 1/10 that of the food-saver bags.
You have my attention with the cost savings. What do you mean by commercial wrapper - is that a method your butcher uses? The last time I had a commercial butcher process our meat, at least ten years ago, it didn’t last long before it started to freezer burn. Well, maybe corn fed is better. Just happens my brother mostly grew beans this year :)
Most every meat/deer processor uses them. If you had one poorly wrapped it was because they were rushing and being lazy.
The wrap comes on a huge roll, 18” wide x about 1500’long.
They cost about $30 and one roll will wrap 2 dozen deer.
They are made of stainless steel with a wrapping table, burn wire to cut the wrap, and a heat seal pad.
Fast easy and cheap! The wrappers cost about $150 minus the wrap and will last forever.
Lay the meat on the wrap, fold several times, tuck in the sides, hit the burn wire, put on the heat seal pad and its done with zero waste!
I use mine for everything I freeze.
