Air is then manually rolled our pushed from the bag through the one way valve, compressing and "shrink-wrapping" the contents. Ziploc Space Bags can double packing space and protect against dirt, bugs, moisture and odors.

Airport security personnel can get a clear look at belongings packed in Ziploc Space Bag products without directly handling them.

Here are a few more packing tips to speed you on your way:

• In larger suitcases, use Ziploc Space Bags to compress and organize the contents.
• Use separate bags to group underwear, socks, scarves, tee shirts, nightclothes, sweaters, dress shirts, jeans, slacks—in whatever combinations work best for you.
• If traveling with children, use Ziploc Space Bags to hold complete outfits or to separate each child's clothing so they can easily find their own items and dress themselves.
• Take along some empty Ziploc Space Bags to hold dirty laundry and keep the rest of the suitcase contents fresh and clean.
• Use a Ziploc Space Bag to hold film, extra batteries and other items you want kept waterproof and easy to find.
• Don't pack your valuables; carry them with you.

For short trips, avoid checking your bag altogether. With the help of Ziploc Space Bags, you can fit a week's wardrobe into a carry-on.

• Select all your clothes in a simple scheme of one or two colors.
• Choose items that will do double duty.
• For business, take only one suit.
• Choose opaque nightclothes so you do not need a robe.
• Call ahead to your hotel to see what amenities are already offered in your room; you may not have to pack that hairdryer or travel iron.
• Make sure you don't have any "security contraband" that you'll have to give up at the checkpoint, and that will slow you down.
• Stick to no more than three pairs of shoes, including casual. Instead of slippers, throw in an extra pair of socks.
• Use travel-size toiletries or transfer your favorites into smaller unbreakable bottles. Leave room in each for liquids to expand, and gather all of them into one airtight, waterproof Ziploc Space Bag to avoid leakage.
• Keep your prescriptions in their originals bottles

Whether checking items or carrying on everything, put your name and phone number or email inside every piece of luggage. Do not include your address.
A few items that take up little space, but can come in very handy: extra batteries, small flashlight, earplugs, small alarm clock.
One more option for traveling lighter….take along some clothing items that are ready to be retired, then jettison them after one wearing en route.

Smart ways to store things at home, with Ziploc Space Bag

As you organize all the things in your house, it’s clear that items such as blankets, toys, seasonal products and so on take up lots of room. A very clever storage solution is the vacuum-seal storage bag. Ziploc Space Bags have airtight and watertight zippers and a one-way air valve so that, using an ordinary vacuum, you can suck out all the air in the bag. The result is a smaller package to store, saving space and keeping the items clean and safe.
There are dozens of smart applications for these vacuum-seal Ziploc Space Bags. Here are a few.

In the closet:

When it comes to our wardrobes, most of us wear 20 percent of our clothes 80 percent of the time. That leaves a lot of clothes just hanging around the closet. And if you’re working with a small closet, those garments are taking up some prime real estate!

The first step to any closet overhaul is remove everything. Then, separate everything by season, or winter and summer wear.

Store all your winter items, such as sweaters, ski coats, pants and bulky comforters, in vacuum-seal bags. Once the seasons change, your winter clothing comes out fresh and clean. Do the same for your summer wardrobe when the time comes.

Kids’ stuff:

Infant and toddler gear expands exponentially.  You can store a child’s precious baby clothes safely and securely, compress and protect extra bedding, pillows and blankets and provide a dirt- and allergen-free storage place for the stuffed animal overflow.

Around the house:

For belongings you want by your front door, use a bag in the closet. It’s a handy way to store mittens, scarves, hats and the like. The front door closet is also a great place for storing winter coats and foul
weather gear.

For the dining room, seal your good silver in airtight and watertight Ziploc Space Bags to put the brakes on the tarnishin process. Silver will tarnish when exposed to air and moisture.

In your attic, take advantage of empty suitcases by compressing seasonal clothing
or bedding in a bag, the place them inside the luggage. Stored items will be safe from moisture, pests, mildew, dirt and odors, and take up zero additional space.
