Valves are intended to be one-way - only letting air out and keeping it from re-entering the bag. No matter how you suck the air out of a space saver bag, it must come out of the bag’s valve. Double-sealed bags are generally higher in quality than bags with a single seal. Some bags feature a single seal across the top others offer two layers of protection in case one of the seals fails. Most manufacturers affix a plastic slider that glides across the lock to ensure it’s completely closed. Overstuffing a space saver bag is one of the easiest ways to break it.Īll space saver bags come with a seal - a thick strip across the top where the opposite sides lock together to keep air out. When in doubt, go bigger - unless you are specifically trying to fit things into a suitcase. Think carefully about the items you are going to store. Some are large enough to hold an entire duvet cover others are designed to fit in a carry-on suitcase. Space saver bags come in a variety of sizes. They are intended primarily for short-term storage or travel. They’re not as efficient as vacuum or pump bags, but they’re even more gentle on your fabric items and are a decent choice if you’re traveling and concerned about losing your pump. You roll these bags up just like an almost-empty tube of toothpaste - pushing the air out of the one-way valve. Compression bags are used specifically for packing clothing.They are better for short-term storage, but, in some cases, can be used longer. Hand-pump bags are not as practical for storing larger items, like bedding, but they are good for packing items like sweaters, coats, and other bulky goods. And since the pump is small, it’s easily packed for use at your destination. However, they are gentler on your clothing.
Hand pumps suck the air out of the bag, but they are not as efficient as vacuum-bag systems. These bags work for both long-term and short-term storage. They’re only helpful, however, if there’s also a vacuum at your destination. Vacuum bags are great for traveling because they can greatly reduce the amount of space clothing items take in your suitcase. They can be used with items like stuffed animals, clothing, towels, and some bedding. They are, however, the hardest on the materials in the bag. They are the quickest and most efficient means of preparing bags for storage. Vacuum cleaners equipped with a suction hose are used to close the majority of space saver bags.
