The VidaXL Vacuum Travel Storage Bag 70 x 50 cm is a transparent plastic compression bag designed for compactly storing and transporting clothing, bedding and other soft items. The bag works with manual or electric vacuum pumps (not included) to remove air and significantly reduce the volume of packed items, helping to save luggage space and protect contents from dust and moisture while traveling or during seasonal storage.
Advantages
The clear plastic construction allows easy visual identification of contents without opening the bag. Compatible with most standard manual and electric vacuum pumps, the bag provides reliable air extraction through a single valve to compress fabrics efficiently. The zipper seal secures the opening to maintain reduced volume, and the lightweight design adds minimal extra weight to luggage. The 70 x 50 cm size is suitable for medium-sized garments, towels and pillowcases.
Suitable for
- Compressing clothes and underwear for suitcase packing
- Storing seasonal garments, blankets and sheets in limited space
- Protecting textiles from dust and moisture during storage or transport
- Organising wardrobe space, drawers or storage boxes
When it may not be suitable
This vacuum travel storage bag is not intended for storing fragile or hard items; sharp objects may puncture the plastic and compromise the seal. It also requires a compatible manual or electric vacuum pump to achieve full compression; without a pump the volume reduction will be limited. The bag is not airtight indefinitely under rough handling, so long-term archival storage of valuable textiles may need more robust solutions.
Key specifications
- Material: Transparent plastic
- External dimensions: 70 x 50 cm
- Closure: Zipper seal
- Air extraction: Single valve for vacuum pump connection
- Weight: Lightweight, suitable for travel
How to use
Place clean, dry garments or linens into the bag without overfilling; leave some space so items can be spread flat. Close the zipper seal fully to ensure a tight closure. Attach a compatible vacuum pump to the valve and remove air until the desired level of compression is reached. Detach the pump and ensure the valve is closed; store or pack the compressed bag in luggage, storage boxes or on shelves. To reuse, open the zipper and allow air back in or use the pump to release the vacuum if necessary.
What to consider before purchase
- Requires a compatible vacuum pump (manual or electric) which is not included
- Not suitable for sharp or rigid items that could puncture the plastic
- Consider the 70 x 50 cm size relative to the items you plan to compress
- Ensure items are dry and clean to avoid mould or odour during storage
Usage recommendations
For best results, fold or roll garments loosely before placing them in the bag to allow even compression. Check zippers and valve seals for debris before use and avoid over-compressing delicate fabrics to reduce creasing. Store compressed textile items in a cool, dry place and periodically inspect the bags for any damage or loss of vacuum.
