Vacuum bags

Vacuum storage bags for clothes and bedding

Seasonal clothing, blankets, pillows and bedding can occupy a large part of a wardrobe. A vacuum bag removes some of the air trapped between layers of soft textiles, reducing the overall volume of the package and making better use of shelves, under-bed storage and cupboards.

A sealed bag separates the contents from dust and helps protect them during storage. The transparent material also makes it easier to identify what is inside without opening every bag.

Which vacuum bag size should you choose?

The compact 50 × 60 cm format is suitable for smaller quantities of clothing and less bulky textiles. A 60 × 80 cm bag provides additional capacity while remaining convenient for wardrobes and luggage.

The larger 70 × 100 and 80 × 110 cm bags are better suited to bulkier textiles. Before ordering, measure both the items and the shelf, drawer or under-bed area where the compressed package will be stored.

Do not fill a bag to its absolute limit simply because the contents can be compressed. Leave enough space to close the opening evenly and allow the valve to operate without excessive strain.

Flat or hanging vacuum storage bag?

Flat bags are suitable for shelves, containers, cupboards and under-bed storage. Folded clothes, blankets and bedding can be arranged inside before air is extracted and the compressed package is placed in its intended location.

The current range also includes a 70 × 145 cm hanging vacuum bag with a hanger. This format is designed for garments stored in a hanging position. Check the length of the clothing and the available wardrobe height before choosing it.

How to use a vacuum storage bag

Make sure every textile is clean and completely dry. Fold the items and place them inside without overfilling the bag. Keep fabric, threads and debris away from the sealing tracks.

Close the opening with the supplied slider, moving it carefully along the entire seal. Place the vacuum cleaner nozzle against the valve and remove the air gradually. When finished, check that both the closure and valve are properly sealed.

Adjust the amount of compression to the material and intended storage period. Some textiles should not be compressed as firmly as others, so consider the care instructions for the clothing, pillows or bedding being packed.

What can be stored in vacuum bags?

Vacuum storage bags are primarily intended for soft textiles such as clothes, blankets, bedding and pillows. They are useful when rotating a seasonal wardrobe, organising cupboards, packing for travel or preparing for a move.

Avoid placing sharp objects inside because they may puncture the bag. Position zips, buckles and protruding garment details so that they do not press directly against the plastic.

How to keep a vacuum bag sealed

If a bag starts to expand again, check whether the opening was fully closed, the sealing tracks were clean and the valve was secured correctly. Inspect the entire closure after using the slider.

Store the bag away from sharp edges, excessive pressure and heat sources. During long-term storage, check it occasionally for expansion or damage.

Important safety information

Vacuum storage bags are not toys. Keep them out of the reach of children because the plastic presents a suffocation hazard. They must never be used to enclose a person or animal.

Inspect the bag, seal and valve before reuse. A punctured or otherwise damaged bag will not maintain reduced volume correctly.
