Roll-Up Vacuum Bags, No Pump Needed
Press or roll, the air goes out, and the one-way valve keeps it from coming back. Ideal for hotel rooms and trips where you have no pump.
Vacuum bags without a pump compress by hand: a one-way valve lets the air out when you press on the bag or sit on it, and does not let it back in. No pump to lose and no electricity, which is exactly what you need when you swap seasonal clothes.
How it works
Fill the bag, close the zipper all the way along, and press on it with both hands or sit on it until the air escapes through the valve. The valve only opens outward, so the bag stays compressed. With 3D bags like Evora, the result is a neat, clear cube.
When a bag with a pump is better
Pressing by hand removes less air than a pump, so for a large down comforter under the bed or a tightly packed suitcase, a flat bag with a pump is the better choice. For a closet, a shelf or the attic, the no-pump bag is simpler and faster.
Frequently asked questions
Does a no-pump bag hold its vacuum?
Yes, when the zipper is closed all the way. If the bag has taken in a little air, open the zipper, close it again slowly and press again.
Can I use a vacuum cleaner?
With 3D bags that have a one-way valve there is no need: pressing by hand is enough.
