In this shot we used a very dense couch cushion to demonstrate the effects of vacuum space saving compression just using garbage bags and a hand pump or your vacuum. The bag used was from Rite-Aid, 33 gallon clear garbage bag, average cost 8 cents	The after shot shows the incredible amount of compression that’s achieved with a vacuum cleaner or hand pump. The amount of reduction or space saved is well over 75%. Included in this shot is a 16 inch inflate-deflate hand pump. (raft pump)
This shot is of a linen closet with covers, sheets, pillows, pillow cases, comforters and sleeping bags we wanted to show just how much room can be recovered with very little effort, and you can do this all day with a 10 cent garbage bag and one BagButton.	Recovering around 80% of your storage space back is truly remarkable and at the same time keeping your items clean and protected. All of this now fits on one shelf. Imagine just how much this could have cost with the other bag?
Now we’re off to the Caravan, RVs and out door camping life. This is a six pound sleeping bag rolled up in the conventional manner, Big, bulky, awkward and a total room hog.	This after shot shows, with a garbage bag we have reduced its volume by 60% +/-, protected it and made it a little less awkward to carry around and store away.
This is our preferred method of sleeping bag storage and protection. We have folded it up like you would a big blanket or comforter and did our best to put the straps back on. The container sitting next to it is for gauging purpose only	There are several benefits to folding your sleeping bag up like a big comforter. As you can see we have reduced the volume by 75% or better. They now lay flat, so you can stack them on top of each other; putting 4 sleeping bags were before you only had one. They are much easier to move and carry around
