Product Information

Full details

Packmate Roll Storage Vacuum Bags are designed for travelers seeking to maximize luggage space and protect their belongings. The key benefit is significant space-saving and protection against moisture, dirt, and pests without needing a vacuum cleaner. A potential caveat is that the rolling method may not achieve the absolute tightest seal compared to vacuum-sealed bags, though it's highly effective for travel. These bags feature a patented one-way valve for easy air removal by rolling, are waterproof, mould resistant, and constructed from durable nylon, making them a reusable solution for keeping clothes fresh and wrinkle-free.

What are the dimensions of the small bags?

How do I ensure the bag is properly sealed?

Use the provided white slider and pass it firmly across the opening at least four times. You should feel and see a secure seal being created.

Can these bags be used for long-term storage?

Yes, they are made from durable, waterproof, and mould-resistant nylon, making them suitable for both travel and longer-term storage, protecting contents from environmental factors.

How many bags are included in a pack?

Each pack of the small travel size contains 5 bags.

Can I use these bags for items other than clothing?

Yes, you can use them for various soft items like linens, blankets, towels, and even some soft gear for camping or outdoor activities.

Troubleshooting

Bag does not seal properly

Ensure the white slider has been passed over the opening at least four times with firm pressure. Check for any debris on the sealing track and clean if necessary.

Air is re-entering the bag after rolling

Verify the one-way valve is functioning correctly. Ensure it is not damaged or obstructed. Try rolling again, applying firm and consistent pressure.

Bag feels flimsy or not fully compressed

Ensure you are rolling from the correct end and applying sufficient pressure. Avoid overfilling the bag, which can prevent complete air expulsion.

Difficult to expel all the air

Try positioning the bag differently while rolling. Ensure the items inside are not rigid or bulky in a way that prevents air from reaching the valve. Smooth out the contents before sealing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Open the bag and lay it flat.
  2. Place items inside, avoiding overstuffing which can hinder sealing and air removal.
  3. Close the bag using the provided white slider. Slide the slider firmly across the opening at least four times to ensure a complete seal.
  4. Locate the patented one-way valve. Position the bag so the valve is accessible.
  5. Roll the bag tightly from the end opposite the valve towards the valve. Apply steady pressure to force the air out through the valve.

Care:

  • To clean, use a damp cloth to wipe the interior and exterior of the bag.
  • Ensure the bag is completely dry before storing items, especially sensitive materials.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the material and the valve mechanism.
  • Store the bags flat or loosely rolled in a dry place when not in use to maintain their integrity.
