Keeping Air Out Prolongs Freshness

Air is the enemy of food freshness. The oxygen and moisture in air cause foods to degrade over time and lose flavor, texture and nutritional value. Conventional food storage methods such as plastic wrap and containers actually trap air inside with food. But the FoodSaver patented vacuum packaging process removes air from specially- designed bags and canisters and even your own cans, jars and bottles, then seals them airtight. It's proven technology that extends food freshness up to five times longer.

How Does It Work?

FoodSaver Appliances have a unique, patented design used in millions of households. Vacuum packaging is a two-step process of vacuuming and sealing. The powerful piston pump removes air quickly and creates a commercial-quality vacuum. The patented Vacuum Channel is designed with an extra-deep trough to catch overflow liquids and protect your appliance. The Sealing Strip has an easy-clean Non-stick Coating to seal the bag with a strong, airtight seal.


FoodSaver Bags have a design so unique it's been patented. Special channels enable the efficient and complete removal of air so none is left trapped in "pockets" around the food. Their 5-ply construction makes them an especially effective barrier to oxygen and moisture. FoodSaver Bags are proven to prevent freezer burn better than leading freezer bags. Plus they are boilable, microwavable and resealable.

FoodSaver Canisters are designed for vacuum packaging dry goods, liquids and crushable items. A vacuum valve enables air removal. The special lid gasket keeps the canister sealed airtight and an Accessory Hose easily connects the canister to the FoodSaver Appliance.

FoodSaver Accessories such as Bottle Stoppers, Universal Lids and Jar Sealers are great for storing all kinds of food, including wine, in their original containers and keeping it fresh up to five times longer.
