The only vacuum system I have experience with is the Kapac vacuum bag system. There are various bag sizes to choose from, and the bags themselves are quite thick. I must also put out there, that after sealing, even doing it twice (two seals) on each bag, and storing, we have experienced leakage after a few years. When going back through for either retrieval or discard, we run across ~10% that have leaked out and the tissue has dried up. :( Would be interested in seeing if there is a product out there that is better that I missed out on!
Happy New Year everyone!!
