The Foodsaver bags are a molded bag with cross ribs that allow the air to flow out of the bag during the vacuum packing process. This type of molded bag is very expensive to produce, with those extra costs being passed on to you, the consumer. By comparison, our bags are a high quality commercial bag that uses an Airway Strip that is inserted into the bag just prior to closing the lid on your vacuum packaging machine. Our Patented method of removing air this way completely eliminates the need for an expensive molded bag and thereby saves you the consumer a bundle of money. In addition to saving money with our Vac-N-Save bags, they are also a snap to clean and reuse. You simply remove the Air-Strip from bag and clean the smooth inner surface or place in the Dishwasher.
