About Vacuum Packaging
Air is left in most food storage con-
tainers and plastic bags even when
they are sealed tightly. Oxygen is
one of the main reasons that food
goes bad. It starts a chemical
change – robbing food of its nutri-
tional value, texture, color, flavor,
and overall quality. The FoodSaver
Vac 1050 removes the air from our
FoodSaver Bags and then seals the
bags so that air cannot reenter. The
Vac 1050 is also designed to be used
with a wide range of FoodSaver
accessories that will keep a variety
of foods fresh longer. Finally, you
can maintain the same freshness at
home that you get with profession-
ally vacuum-packaged items you
purchase at the grocery store.
FoodSaver Bags and Rolls
◗ FoodSaver Bags and Rolls are made
from a patented, 3-ply plastic
material with special channels that
remove the air. The outer layer
of nylon seals freshness in, while
locking air and moisture out.
◗ FoodSaver Bags and Rolls can go
straight from the freezer and
refrigerator to the microwave or
boiling water. They are reusable,
washable (including in the dish-
washer), and recyclable.
◗ FoodSaver Bags are ready-made
in quart and gallon sizes to offer
convenient, one-step storage.
◗ FoodSaver Rolls come in two
widths, 8 inches and 11 inches,
which allow you to make custom-
sized bags for the items that you
are vacuum packaging.
◗ Most FoodSaver users like to keep
both bags and rolls handy for the
greatest packaging convenience.
