Vacuum Bags?? "To use or not to use"

[Bather's]

Can anyone advise if they have used vacuum bags to save space when packing there linen for the container. the company have advised that they are fine with them being used, but would really appreciate your thoughts.

Many thanks

We certainly used them and in our cases too. If you can get hold of silica sachets put them in with any photographs/clothes etc to prevent any damage or that damp musty smell. You can buy them on eBay

we used one to suck all the air out of a 4ft sponge bob soft toy that our daughter refused to part with and he arrived safely:)

We used loads of them in the container and our luggage to get us here too!! They are fantastic for things like duvets, pillows, winter coats and kids soft toys. Especially if you are doing a shared container and need to economise on space. I would definately recommend them.

absolutely everything soft went in vacuum bags. creates and awful lot of space but an awful lot of ironing too.

We also used them, no probs, we put a bounce dry tumbledry sheet in every bag and 8 weeks later the stuff still smelled lovely and fresh. We suckied every bag and left them a few days any that blew back up we threw out and replaced. Also if you can buy a few sets of sheets for each bed as they are expensive over here even for poor quality. Have fun and safe journey xx

I've used these many many times ( even better when the weight limit used to be higher ). They are fantastic and typically cheap to get! Just make sure you get the ones you actually vacuum the air of out rather then roll the air out of.
