Why Packmate “Flat” Vacuum Storage Bags?

Flat space saving bags are the most popular type used by our many customers, as the name suggests they compress the contents flat, reducing bulky items significantly in size and are ideal for storing under a bed or in drawers, as well as the usual attic, garage or cellar space. The reduced size gives options to store the contents in a smaller space or to store more in the original storage location.

Packmate space saving bags also protect the contents from dirt, dust, damp and bugs.

Packmate are the market leading brand with quality and performance at the forefront, the bags and valves have recently undergone a major redevelopment which has resulted in our best performing storage bag ever. All our bags are supported by our no quibble LIFETIME GUARANTEE and have been tested and approved by the Good Housekeeping Institute.

How much space do I save?
On average you can create up to 4 times more space using a Packmate vacuum storage bag. The space saving will depend on what you are storing and the size of bag you are using.

What size of bag do I need?
We have created a “Pillow Graph” to help guide you to the right size of bag for your storage needs. (Please see the pictures on this listing.) This is based on the average sized hollow fibre pillow, pillows filled with down can also be stored in Packmate bags.

Please note, the bigger bags can be quite heavy and are large when compressed, we would recommend considering where the bag is going to be stored when choosing the right size storage bags for your requirements. Sometimes two smaller bags can be the best solution.

Do I need a special vacuum cleaner?
Due to recent improvements to the valve design, Packmate bags work with corded and cordless vacuum cleaners.

What are Packmate Vacuum Storage Bags made from?
Packmate vacuum storage bags are made from a multi-layer laminated blend which include Nylon to help prevent rips, punctures and tears. They provide years of use and when you have finished with them they can be recycled.
