Vacuum packing is also suitable for picnics, sailing and
camping. Food, equipment and documents will stay dry
and protected. Batteries, mobile phones and cameras
can also be vacuum packed to stay protected from
moisture. Vacuum packing prevents mixing of odours
and keeps food from perishing due to moisture, which
is particularly important in small spaces.

5. WHY USE STATUS’ BAGS AND FOIL ROLLS?
Status vacuum bags are impermeable, food safe, neu
tral in taste and smell, reusable, BPA free and suitable
for Sous Vide cooking. The foodstuffs stored in them
will remain the same at least half a year after vacuum
packing.
The quality of a vacuum bag is determined by the thic
kness of the foil, the combination of materials and the
height of the ribbed profi le.
The thickness of the bag
: Status’ bags are characteri
zed by a 100 μm thick smooth foil and a 130 μm thick
ribbed foil. Their embossed crisscross pattern helps
that the air is removed more effectively during the
vacuum sealing process.
The combination of materials
; Status’ bags are made
of Polyamide and Polyethylene each of which has its
function with quality vacuum packing. Polyamide in the
outer layer of the foil guarantees impermeability of the
oxygen which guarantees quality stored food. Compa
red to competing brands, Status’ bags and foils boast
the thickest layer of polyamide (20 or 30 μm) which
makes them the most quality option for storing food.
The height of the ribbed profi le
; Status’ bags feature at
least 0.2 mm high ribbed layer which ensures a uniform
process of sealing throughout all cycles. Thinner bags
can be vacuum sealed well during the initial cycles but
later even the quality vacuum sealers cannot generate
enough negative pressure.
Status bags and foil rolls are compatible with all
brands of vacuum packing machines.
