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.

Patented 3-Layer Design

Patented FoodSaver Bags are designed to

remove air and seal in freshness.

◗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 Vac 800/Vac 820 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.

*IMPORTANT: To avoid possible illness, do not reuse bags after storing raw meats, fish or greasy foods.
