If the zipper feels resistant during your first use, don't be alarmed—this is expected! Because our bags feature specialized airtight, leak-proof seals, they are tightly locked upon arrival.

Pro-tips for opening:

• Use steady, firm pressure to break the initial seal.
• Lift the zipper pull vertically (rather than pulling it flat) to maximize your grip.
• After this first opening, the mechanism will glide much more smoothly.

Absolutely! Your pump is completely flight-safe.

We engineered the Aerless™ Vacuum Kit to meet all TSA standards for a hassle-free travel experience. While you may see an "Orange Cargo Aircraft" sticker on the box, this is purely a logistical labeling requirement for shipping. It does not affect your ability to carry the pump on a commercial flight.

Typically, a single bag can shrink down roughly 15 pieces of apparel. While the specific number varies based on the thickness of your fabrics, the vacuum technology ensures you maximize every inch of your luggage by removing excess air.

To ensure a permanent airtight hold, follow these steps:

1. Arrange your garments flat and centered within the bag.
2. Ensure the zipper grooves are perfectly aligned.
3. Slide the sealing clip firmly from end to end. Listen for a "click" or feel for a smooth transition to confirm a total seal.
4. Press down on the bag briefly to verify that no air is escaping.

All bags in the kit are uniform in size, measuring 12 x 19 x 4 inches (equivalent to 30cm x 48cm x 10cm).
