You have just purchased an appliance that will soon
have you wondering how you ever got by without
it. The FoodSaver vacuum packaging system is so
convenient and versatile, you’ll find yourself using
it every day. We guarantee that if you make room
for it on your countertop, you will quickly see how
indispensable it becomes in your kitchen.

Foods Will Keep Their “Just Bought” Freshness,
Flavor and Nutritional Value 3 to 5 Times Longer.

Meats, poultry, fish and produce stay fresh and
flavorful in your freezer.

No more freezer burn.

Foods stay fresh longer in your refrigerator.

Dry ingredients stay fresh and insect free in 
the pantry.

You’ll Save Money, Time and Effort.

Buy in bulk to reduce your grocery bills.

Repackage your purchases in portions sized for
your family’s needs.

Prepare meals in advance so when you don’t have
time to cook, you and your family will still have
great-tasting homemade meals.

Take bags right from the freezer or refrigerator
and boil or microwave.

Reduce waste and spoilage.

Prepare your own healthy frozen dinners. You
control serving portions, calories and nutritional
content.

Make and deliver home-cooked meals to those
who can’t get out.

Keep non-food items dry and free of dust and mold.

Stop silver from tarnishing because the metal is
not exposed to air.
