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
vacuum packaging system removes
the air from FoodSaver Bags and
then seals the bags so that air cannot
re-enter. It 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 special 5-layer plastic
material with patented 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.
FoodSaver Bags and Rolls are
washable (including in the dish-
washer) and reusable.*
FoodSaver Bags come in ready-
made pint, quart and gallon sizes
to offer convenient, one-step storage.
Your appliance also works with 8-
inch and 11-inch wide FoodSaver
Rolls, which allows 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.
Patented 5-Layer Design
Patented FoodSaver Bags are designed to
remove air and seal in freshness.
