Vacuum packaging is a smart solution to keep food fresh and extend shelf life, but which type of vacuum product is best for your needs? In this article, we compare vacuum food boxes and traditional vacuum packers to help you decide when each solution is most practical and efficient.

Advantages of vacuum packers

A vacuum packer is a machine that effectively removes the air from a bag and seals it automatically. Here are some benefits of using a vacuum packer:

• Suitable for large quantities: Perfect for storing large quantities of food such as meat or vegetables, especially for freezing.
• Long-term sealing: Sealed bags are very tight, which prevents oxygen from entering and spoiling the food.
• Easy storage in the freezer: Vacuum packed bags take up minimal space in the freezer and are perfect for longer storage times.

Advantages of vacuum food boxes

Vacuum food boxes are an excellent option for everyday use. They are practical, easy to use and especially good for daily food storage in the fridge. Here are the advantages of vacuum lunch boxes:

• Reusable and durable: Our glass lunch boxes are designed to be used again and again, making them a sustainable option.
• Practical for everyday storage: Perfect for lunch boxes, fresh ingredients and leftovers stored in the fridge.
• Less plastic waste: Glass boxes are an environmentally friendly choice compared to single-use plastic bags.
