Answer: 72 yards long. Seals roughly 1200 bags.

Answer: Not sure, sold all my stuff last spring, move to Arizona, from Mississippi quit hunting 78 years old

Answer: 180 yards

Is the tape seal tight? Bought one from Cabelas and the tape is so loose we can pull it right off

Answer: It works pretty well for what it is. The contact points for the tape are close to the twisted end and hold tight into the freezer.

Answer: It does seal tight what I do is grab the ground beef on one end and the other and twist it two times and then tape it. That worked good for me

Answer: I packaged 11 deer grinds with this taper and it worked 99% of the time with an excellent seal. Make sure to monitor the tape as you get going fast and it will work fine.

Answer: We get a good tight seal. never had it slip off or leak.

Answer: Yes. Mine works like a champ.

What width tape can be used with this?

Ive seen a quite a few reviews that say it does not have instruction manual and that is often missing bags. is this a common occurence

Answer: There is no instruction guide included but there is a demonstration video on YouTube. I received the correct number of bags but when I needed more I bought another brand that offers 2-pound bags.

Answer: It's pretty straightforward to operate. Fill the bag, mine came with 50 as advertised, to the fill line. After loading tape into dispenser and setting up you simply twist the neck of the bag tight and pull briskly straight down into the throat. At the bottom right of the channel is a RAZOR BLADE so keep fingers clear. It seals tightly and looks clean. You don't have to cut the excess bag off just stop and don't pull right. Works wonderfully every time.

Answer: I had my bags inside as far as a manual it came with a paper to show those who can’t figure it out? It’s a glorify tape machine you side the tape in it and put it over the top and push your bog with burger in it and pull it down and start all over again. It’s simple

Answer: Very easy to use no instructions needed for me I love this thing works great saves time

Answer: I received everything and have no issues.

Can you use this system on bagged items other than meat?

Answer: Yes you can, I have used it on dry goods, also to close bags of fresh vegetables or anything else that you can run through the taping machine.

Answer: Yes you would be able to use it on just about anything you want to bag and can dispense this way! I works great on the venison we used it for.

Answer: as long as whatever you are trying to tape is small enough to go down the shaft area where the tape is. it will tape it

Answer: Yes, but not intended for liquids as they will leak when packaging and thawing.

Does this work on natural casing

Answer: No it is used to seal plastic bags

Approximately how many bags can you seal with the included roll of tape?

Answer: If the roll is 72 yards, it will do approximately 1200 bags per LEM website.

Answer: A lot! Probably 75-100. It only takes about an inch for each bag. I really like mine.

Answer: Ive done my first hundred bags with the first roll of tape and looks like I could do several hundred more .

Why not deliver to Canada

Is the body made of steel or plastic?

Answer: The body is made of steel, the little parts of course is plastic but yes steel it is, we love it very easy to use.

Answer: Steel, very solid construction.

Answer: Not sure if its steel but it is a metal housing.

Answer: Yes you can. I just contacted LEM and the part number is 16075001 @ $2.49 each.

Win will this product be available?

I ordered on the 7th and still hasn't shipped what's the problem?

Does this accept poly tape that is 180 yards long or only 72 yards?

Answer: Who cares. It doesn’t work as advertised. End up having to constantly reset the tape. A lot of tape gets wasted.

Answer: I would go to the Lem website to find this out.

Can you use a sausage stuffing tube that comes with the Big bite #8 grinder or do you have to purchase the 2" specifically?

Answer: Sorry, I cannot answer as I'm not using this product for Meat Packaging. I use this in my bakery to tie off icing piping bags once they are filled. It works beautifully for my purposes!

Product reviews of LEM Products Ground Meat Packaging System

backwoods : Simple and simple! Apply common sense!

We just butchered 2 pigs and ground 85 pounds. Twist up your first bag (an empty one) to use for practice. 5 or 6 attempts and you'll get your motion down. The people that write bad reviews on this do not posess common sense enough to understand mechanical things. This is the most simple tool in the world to use!

Amber : Absolute love and worth it

This is amazing! It is so helpful to get the bags closed and fast. I would purchase time after time if and when mine ever breaks. It’s seems super durable though so that is not expected to happen.

Eric dougherty : makes meat packaging fast

I pack all my burger in plastic bags and this makes it really fast instead of using bread ties

Ryan Sedlock : Must have!

Used this for processing deer this year and can't say enough good things about it! Sealing bags of grinds was a breeze!

Carole : Not just for meat

I have skincare business and make product kits in tissue lined bags. Had been using twist ties, but this is so much faster, and makes a more secure seal. Easy to use right out of the box.

Theresa : A must have for bagging ground meat

We processed our own deer this year, 2 bucks and a doe. We used this product to tape the bags closed after stuffing them with the ground meat. Made the job go much faster. A roll of tape and 50 1lb bags come with it. There is enough tape to probably do 300 bags. The video shows our 59th bag and you can see how much tape is left. One of the pics shows how the tap is loaded. There are no instructions included.

Jelliott2632 : Works great

Just packaged 200 lbs of beef and it worked great the whole time!

Christine A Cook : Five Stars

this has made life easier bagging venison

H. Ali : The tool is very good! Works great! Tape sucks

The taper was actually very good and well made. This is the only taper i would buy considering the other ones are subpar in quality compared to this LEm product.

ONLY PROBLEM WAS the tape sucked. Kept splitting across every time.

Thomas : Great Product and fast shipping

This is a very easy product to use. Very Fast and even cuts the end of the bags. My purchase did not have instructions, so I looked on the companies website. To load the tape correctly, simply pull about 6 inches of tape, sticky side up out to the opposite end from the tape. Lay over the end and run a snugly twisted plastic bag through. That is all there is two it. Also, this seller has the best price and even comes with a roll of tape and 50, 1 pound bags.

James F. : Saves time

Works as advertised used on two large deer made the job go much quicker. A good addition to wild game processing.

Kelli G : Easy to use

Works like a champ. Processing my game meat was easy with this system, after I bag it twist the bag and slide it thru the end and ready for the frezzer

Colleen Lekie : Crappy sealing tape

Machine works fine but the tape is very old and the glue has seeped out to the outer part of tape. Because of this, the tape continues to break after every package. Thinking about returning it for that reason.

Dan Mchugh : Makes packaging easy

Have used this several times and makes ground venison packages very easy. Only complaint I have is lack of any instructions or directions. Was able to figure out the operation after a few minutes. I do recommend.

joann s : Great product

So easy to use and fast!

backwoods : Simple and simple! Apply common sense!

Clean Hearts Farm : Five Stars

Heavy, stable, quality product. Couldn’t ask for anything more.

aealbin : 2 words... WORTH IT! My husband ...

2 words... WORTH IT!
My husband could grind a pound of venison, bag it and tape it by himself in under 60 seconds

Dahlenburg : easy to use after watching YouTube

couldn't figure out what direction to put the tape without watching YouTube. Tape goes sticky side up. Once set up it makes sealing bags a breeze. Only gripe is that I wish they would have made the cutting blade a standard razor blade instead of what looks like a proprietary blade.

backwoods : Simple and simple! Apply common sense!

Angel Cabada : Works fantastic!!!

Cant give this thing enough stars!!!!! It made processing venison incredibly easy and efficient!! I like this product so much that I will continue to Buy LEM products for all or my future meat processing.

Amazon Customer : Order different tape, I have seen a blue colored tape work.

The taper works great for sealing ground meat bags, but the tape that comes with it is garage. The green tape would not work after about 5 bags, the glue would stick to the roll and you would have to remove tape until the glue stayed on. Other than that worked pretty good.

KMC : Works great!

Makes quick work of securing a meat bag

Alisha Kloehn : Perfect

Works great

Katie Harrison : Good Value

Good product for the most part. No written instructions on how to set it up for the first time use, so I had to look it up on the internet. Wasn't hard just a little annoying. After that, it works as advertised. Housing is metal and very solid, rubber feet keep it very secure. Only reason I'm giving 4 stars is the tape has ripped on me in the middle of packaging which was annoying. I had to take the roll off and waste around 10" trying to find the old edges and getting it back in service. Not sure how prevalent this issue will be in the long run, could even be a fluke. I wouldn't hesitate to buy, this is a great deal with the extra meat bags and sturdy built product for a low price.

Aaron R. : Great time saver

Five stars overall. This made grinding and packaging deer meat muck easier. Goes from the grinder right into the bag tape it with this machine and done. The only thing to look out for is to keep your bags clean and dry or the tape won’t do right. Would buy again.

Dan Mchugh : Makes packaging easy

Krebs Family from Colorado : Processed my whole elk with no problems

Not sure what the people who rated this poorly were talking about. Very simple to load the tape and it worked every time. I just processed an elk and my wife only likes grind so I got about 250lbs and it worked on all of them.

Retired : Will recommend to my friends.

I use to use hog rings and it took forever. I can do the same amount of meat in half the time.
Great product.

Mrbutcher : Indispensable If you produce you own bulk ground meat for long term storage!

I've been butchering for 10 years now and I feel stupid for not owning this sooner. This product is indispensable to have for packaging and sealing meat chub bags. Produces a tight seal.

Bags are great for keeping meat frozen long term.

I see complaints about loading and binding of the tape. This product is easy to use. I do not at all get how someone could err in itsetup.

Greg T. : Where’s the Directions?

The meat sealer came with no directions except what was on the box which was not that helpful. So it’s sort of trial and error the first few bags.

Jelliott2632 : Works great

Just packaged 200 lbs of beef and it worked great the whole time!

Greg T. : Where’s the Directions?

The meat sealer came with no directions except what was on the box which was not that helpful. So it’s sort of trial and error the first few bags.

Zac F : Time saver

Makes tapping my tubes of ground and sausage a breeze and makes the job an easy core for my son to do.

H. Ali : The tool is very good! Works great! Tape sucks

joann s : Great product

So easy to use and fast!

Ana Evelyn : Baking hack!!

What would normally take me at least 30 mins to seal with ties, has been reduced to 5 mins with this bad boy! Was originally looking at a “bakers” one but this is the exact same thing for half the price! Also I have hunting friends who will use the baggies it comes with!!

KIM : Easy to use

This tool so good, the meat packing process went faster and easier

Colleen Lekie : Crappy sealing tape

SKTR13 : Gets the job done fast!

Every hunter needs one of these!

Jarod McLeroy : Missing components

Likes: This product works as advertised and is easy to use. I was able to test it out on some leftover hamburger bags and it worked perfectly. LEM makes good quality products.

Dislikes: The package arrived missing the tape from the box. The order was supposed to include the tape dispenser, 50 ground burger bags and a roll of packaging tape. The box had obviously been opened and the tape was removed. I doubt this was a mistake on the part of the manufacturer.

Dustin Krankel : Five Stars

Works as promised.

Ben Reese : Saves time

I think that this saves time over pig ring seals for my meat bags. Easy to use very quick

Josh : Great for home butchering game

Very handy tool for home butchering game, works perfect most of the time but does have a tape jam here and there

Jessica Blaine : Meat packaging

I love this thing. Essy to use. Watch a youtube video, buy this, pack like a pro. It is so fast and easy.

Steven Schotter : Time saver for solo processing

This is a real time saver, especially when processing solo. Read the instructions and take your time getting started. This device requires finesse, not brute force to function properly. Make sure to thread the tape right and don't get frustrated when it boogers one up.

Josh : Great for home butchering game

Very handy tool for home butchering game, works perfect most of the time but does have a tape jam here and there

Josh : Great for home butchering game

Very handy tool for home butchering game, works perfect most of the time but does have a tape jam here and there

Amazon Customer : Works Great

This kit contained everything that you need to get started bagging your own ground meats. The unit worked flawlessly and we didn't have any of the other issues that people reported. After reading some of those other reviews I was a bit hesitant to purchase this item. There is no Instruction Manual but several You Tube videos.

It is easy to load.
1. Put the sprocket in the Tape Roll
2. Load the tape roll into the unit with ADHESIVE SIDE UP!!
3. Pull out 6-8" of tape to go across to the other side of the unit. Leave an inch or two of overhang.
4. Twist Bag and pull straight down. Bag is sealed.

No problems with Green Tape. No problems with jamming.

We did not use the Bag Cutter as we filled the Bags to 1.5lbs.
