Let me guess? Food storage was the main objective you had in mind when you first bought your vacuum sealer, correct? Of course, probably 9 out 10 buyers would state that having an effective food packaging solution was their primary reason to buying this appliance. But, did you know that the same vacuum sealing instrument can be used for other applications? If you didn’t, don’t worry. We are here to help. With the next examples, we hope to initiate some mental exercises that steer your creativity in the right direction to multiply your options.

Media Devices and CDs

If you are older enough to have experienced and played vinyl records, you certainly will confirm that air, humidity and dust are the main suspects to produce significant damage to our media. Keeping your blue-ray discs and DVDs in their cases may protect them from falls but they do very little against our three main suspects. When you vacuum seal the cases and LP records in made-to-order pouches, you actually end up safeguarding and preserving your media completely for many years to come.

Important Documents

As the old saying states, one can never be too cautious. What would be the difference between lamination and vacuum sealing? While both methods have evidenced to be a helpful way to protect important documents, perhaps vacuum sealing might have less vulnerabilities than lamination. If and when lamination gets broken, most likely your document will as well get damaged because the hard layer that protected the document would have been trespassed. In addition to this, when a document undergoes lamination it usually is applied to one single sample. With vacuum sealing, the user can put a number of important documents into one bag and vacuum seal them altogether.

Magazines and Books

Like every other wood product, paper products suffer from oxidation problems when they are left “in the air” for too long. Books and magazines, even if you put them in cardboard boxes, they will nonetheless “suffer” when in contact with moisture and air, and this will cause effects like mold growth, yellowing, and outbreaks.

Again, vacuum packaging these items will without doubt prevent these effects from expanding and you will preserve the quality and readability of your books and magazines. Throw some silica gel or a few packets of rock salt on top of the process of vacuum sealing and this will help even more to reduce moisture exposure.

Emergency and Travel Kits

Most people know about the nuances of travelling. Medicine bottles, cosmetics, toiletries and similar products pose a challenge as the fluid inside them can easily spill out. If one vacuum seals these products practically this trouble goes away and not only that, it is less cumbersome to pack the bag!

When you prepare for extreme –disastrous- situations it is all about having the appropriate material and kits ready for its prompt and helpful use. That is, the reader can vacuum seal gauze tapes, gloves, surgical material, and band aids into one or several bags and have them fit carefully and neatly into your first aid bag.

Using your creativity and trying to meet the immediate and other applications of your vacuum sealer can give the reader a competitive advantage when dealing with common and emergency situations.
