Vac Packing Essentials for Your Summer Adventures

As summer hits full stride, it’s the perfect time to pack up, head outdoors, and enjoy everything New Zealand’s stunning landscapes have to offer. Whether you’re planning a camping trip, a weekend on the boat, or a full-blown motorhoming adventure, packing efficiently and keeping your food fresh can make or break the experience. That’s where ZeroPak comes in, with two must-have tools for your adventures: the TravelVac and the HandyVac.

Not sure which one is right for you? Let’s break it down—and spoiler alert: having both might just be the best decision you’ll make this summer.

Why Vac Packing is a Game-Changer for Summer Trips

When you’re outdoors or on the road, fridge and freezer space is a luxury, and freshness is everything. Vac packing your food offers these unbeatable benefits:

  • Maximised Storage: Vacuum-sealed bags are compact and space-efficient, leaving room in the chilly bin for drinks and other essentials.
  • Extended Freshness: Keep your meat, fish, and snacks fresher for longer, even in the summer heat.
  • No Spills, No Worries: Forget about leaking bags or soggy Eskies—vacuum sealing keeps your food mess-free.

Meet Your Travel Must-Haves: The TravelVac & HandyVac

TravelVac:

Lightweight and portable, the TravelVac is ideal for motorhoming families, fishing enthusiasts or anyone with limited space. It’s small enough to tuck into your gear but powerful enough to ensure your food stays fresh for days. Perfect for sealing:

  • Fresh fish straight on the boat.
  • Pre-portioned meals for the campsite.
  • Snacks to keep the kids happy during the drive.

This cordless, rechargeable hand-held vacuum sealer is the ultimate travel buddy. Use it to:

  • Seal leftover food quickly.
  • Keep fruit and veggies crisp for longer.
  • Prep ingredients for your campsite cook-up.

Why You Might Need Both

While the TravelVac handles the heavy lifting, the HandyVac steps in for the smaller tasks. Together, they make the ultimate vac packing duo.

Think of it as having the right tools for the right jobs—because no two adventures are the same.

Tips for Effortless Summer Vac Packing

  1. Pre-Portion Your Meals: Divide your food into meal-sized portions before sealing. This saves time and eliminates waste at the campsite.
  2. Label Everything: A permanent marker is your best friend. Include the contents and the date on each bag for easy organisation.
  3. Double Down on Snacks: Seal trail mix, dried fruit, or crackers in snack-sized portions for quick grab-and-go options.
  4. Think Beyond Food: Vacuum sealing isn’t just for meals—use it to pack toiletries, keep important documents dry, or even store bait for fishing.
