Does this material actually stop the smell coming through when storing bait at room temperature for extended periods of time?
Deliberately sought out sturdy vacuum compression bags that are pretty thick-walled, have done cooking classes with sous-vide using this type of vacuum sealer and the ones I have already are thicker material than that sheeting/bags. Must be 1mm thick or so, and the smell did still come through after a few days at room temperature. Others seem to say that the smell will come through basically anything other than v heavy duty forensic plastics or a solid walled sealed box/bucket.

I like to split a 5kg bag into 8-10 bags
I used to do it in 5 bigger bags but found its much much easier to stack in a freezer or in a box with the smaller bags lovely flattish square packs
@nickfisherman
Mate I can only tell you I live in a 1 bedroom bungalow with very little space as I got **** loads of stuff I have a cupboard stacked just with bait that I have vacuumed sealed and I dont get any smell from it ?
my machine is a very high quality semi professional one thats sadly not made any more and most things it extends the shelf life by at least 7 times it does distort and squash them a bit on the highest setting but I like that

Cool, cheers
. Similar boat - small flat, everything has to be stored indoors in limited space.

Got mine last week. Very good indeed and have used for boilies and food storage. I ordered 4 extra rolls as recommended but found that they are quite large so you have to peel off a few layers first so that you can shut the device when a new roll is in place. The rolls are quite wide as well so you have to squish everything down into as much as possible.
Just ordered a box of the bags today as they do seem easier to manage than the rolls.
