Comparison: Vacuum packers vs. Vacuum Food Boxes
When it comes to food storage, both vacuum packers and vacuum food boxes are excellent choices for keeping food fresher for longer. But when is it best to use a vacuum packer, and when are vacuum food boxes more practical? In this guide, we compare the two and help you choose the best solution depending on your needs.
When to use vacuum packers?
A vacuum packer is ideal for long-term storage of large quantities of food, especially if you want to freeze raw ingredients or ready-made meals. The vacuum packer removes all oxygen from the package, which prevents bacteria and mold from growing, and reduces the risk of frost damage in the freezer.
- Long-term storage: Perfect for freezing meat, fish and other raw materials in large quantities.
- Sous-vide cooking: A vacuum sealer is a must for sous-vide.
- Bulk purchase: For those who buy food in bulk and want to divide it into smaller portions for long-term storage.
Explore our vacuum packers to find the best solution for long-term storage.
When are vacuum lunch boxes more practical?
Vacuum food boxes are practical for daily use and meal prep. They are perfect for keeping meals fresh in the fridge, and can also be used in the microwave and oven (if they are made of glass). Vacuum food boxes work best when you want to retain flavor and nutrition in food that you plan to eat within a few days.
- Meal prep: Prepare meals for the week and keep them fresh in vacuum lunchboxes.
- Fridge storage: Store leftovers and ready-made food in vacuum lunch boxes to keep food fresher for longer.
- Microwave and oven: Use glass food boxes with a vacuum function to heat food directly in the microwave or oven.

Which solution is best for you?
