Your FoodSaver

®

 appliance also protects 

non-food items from oxidation, corrosion and 
moisture.
Just follow the directions for vacuum 
packaging using the FoodSaver

®

 Bags, 

Canisters and Accessories.

• Camping and hiking gear stays dry and 

compact. Vacuum packaging your clothes 
and equipment will help save space in your 
bag. Vacuum package matches, maps and 
anything you want to stay dry.

• For picnics, fill a FoodSaver

®

 Bag with ice 

and seal. When it melts, you’ll have fresh 
water for drinking or you can put it back in 
the freezer as a reusable ice pack.

• For painting, vacuum package your wet 

paint brush between coats rather than 
washing out. Particularly useful for 
oil based paints that require mineral 
turpentine to clean up.

• Vacuum package your food and equipment 

for a boating or sailing outing. Food will 
stay dry in the cooler/esky. Batteries and 
film won’t get damaged by water, and you’ll 
appreciate having a dry change of clothes.

• Vacuum package first aid kits and 

emergency kits for your house, your boat 
and your car. Items will all be in one 
package and will stay dry and without 
dirt and mold. Include flares, batteries, 
flashlight, candles and matches.

• To vacuum package silver, wrap fork prongs 

in soft cushioning material, such as a 
paper towel, to avoid puncturing bag.
