Here’s a statement I never saw myself saying in a million years – “Your smartphone can keep your food fresh and make you healthy”!

As weirdly clickbaity as that sounds (and I sincerely apologize for that), it’s precisely what the SealVax bags are capable of. Designed to replace those wasteful single-use plastic vacuum bags, and that expensive vacuum sealer that comes along with it, SealVax’s bags are reusable, infinitely washable, and come with their own pocket-friendly pump that is powered by your smartphone. The pump, which is no larger than a thumb-drive or a car-charger, locks into the air valves on the SealVax bags and comes with two ports at the opposite end – a Type-C port, and a Lightning connector. Designed to plug into any iPhone or Android smartphone, the vacuum pump runs on your smartphone’s battery, sucking the air out of the SealVax bag in mere seconds. Worried about liquids in your bag? The SealVax even has a liquid isolator, which transfers fluids into a separate chamber (instead of sucking them into the vacuum). Once you’re done, unplug everything and you’ve got yourself air-locked, vacuum-packed freshness!

While vacuum-sealing isn’t new, SealVax is redefining how it looks, works, and lasts. SealVax’s vacuum bags are designed to be reused multiple times, while the pump is perhaps the smallest vacuum pump to ever be developed for culinary use – leave alone the fact that the pump is entirely powered by a smartphone. The phone-powered pump means you can even use the bags outdoors, and the reusable GRS-certified plastic bags are food-grade, freezer-friendly, oven-safe up to 176 F°, and dishwasher-compatible. The one-way valve on the SealVax bags ensures you pull all the air out from within, preserving your food by preventing oxidation. You could use it to keep your fruits, herbs, and veggies fresh for longer (your half-cut avocado could last for days as opposed to minutes), or even preserve meats up to 5x longer by placing your SealVax bags in the freezer.

Sous-vide with your smartphone? Sure, the SealVax bags can handle that too! The specialized heat-resistant plastic bags mean you can easily dunk them into a sous-vide machine to cook anything from meats to veggies with restaurant-level consistency. The bags come with a gusset base, which means they stand on their own, allowing you to place them vertically in a sous-vide bath. Alternatively, placing the bags vertically in the fridge or freezer even helps them occupy less space.

While the portable vacuum remains one of the most interesting elements of the SealVax system, the bags are truly the star of the show. They’re made from a special plastic that’s designed to last years if maintained well. They can be washed under a tap or placed in a dishwasher and reused multiple times – either as vacuum-seal packs or just as regular air-tight bags, thanks to the clip-lock mechanism on top. The bags come in two sizes and have an anti-bacterial layer to naturally preserve your food better. Along with the phone-powered vacuum pump, the reusable bags help you keep your food fresher for longer, eliminating food and plastic waste while saving money. The bags are engineered to last for years, and are made entirely from pre-consumer recycled plastic (plastic from products that were never bought/used). In fact, they even naturally degrade in 3-5 years after being disposed of. Neat, huh! And since the vacuum pump runs entirely on energy from your smartphone, that’s also one less lithium-ion battery we need to worry about! Good for you, and for the environment!

SealVax Vacuum Technology

The story behind developing the SealVax vacuum system can actually be traced back to their experience with “pump” technology. Several of their engineers, and members of the R&D team, used to work with the Reebok pump shoe line. Therefore, many of them were already familiar with air pumping technology and its applications. They realized that with a proper container, this could be an innovative food storage system.

The Liquid Isolator

The Liquid Isolator is a more efficient way to extract and store liquid. Instead of using the “paper towel trick” to dry out moist ingredients, just attach the Liquid Isolator to our Vacuum-Sealer. Watch as it quickly removes liquids and stores them for later use.

The average family goes through roughly 25 zip-lock bags in a week. That’s 1300 bags… per average family on earth. The zip-lock bag serves its purpose well, but it’s disposable. Meant to be used anywhere from 1-3 times before its flimsy plastic gives away and you promptly dispose of it for another one.

With everyone slowly moving to non-plastic alternatives like metal strays and opting for plastic products that are multi-use (Tupperware, for example), it only makes sense that the food-bag, the humble zip-lock, sees itself being redesigned for non-disposable usage. agooday’s Pockeat gives the zip-lock the upgrade it needs. Crafted from BPA-free TPU, the Pockeat is food-safe, sturdy, lightweight, and flexible. It ditches the fidgety zip-lock mechanism (which is difficult to open with dirty or wet hands) for a roll-top closure that not only ensures the contents of the bag are securely locked, but it also gives the Pockeat a handle, allowing you to carry your bag around with you in your hand, or even strapping it to your backpack. The Pockeat can be used for storage, shopping, or even carrying food. It holds solids and liquids, cold or hot, without a fuss, and last years, as opposed to the day/week-long lifespan of a generic zip-lock bag. It also comes with over 3 liters of storage, and its roll-top design ensures your food is packed tightly, no matter how much you fill the bag. When you’re done, the Pockeat folds down to the size of a candybar and gets tucked into its sleeve, fitting in pockets, handbags, or even backpacks, allowing you to carry your bag around wherever and whenever, making it much more accessible than tiffin boxes, much more durable than plastic bags, and a boon to the environment too!
