SealVax FAQ – Find Your Fresh
💡 Vacuum Sealing & Benefits
Q: What makes vacuum sealing better than regular storage?
Vacuum sealing removes air—the #1 cause of spoilage—helping food stay fresh up to 5X longer. That means fewer trips to the store, less food waste, and more money saved.
Q: How does SealVax help reduce food waste?
An average U.S. household throws away $1,500 in spoiled food every year. By sealing in freshness and keeping out air, SealVax helps you hold onto more of what you buy. If a household stores just half of its fresh food using SealVax, it means less trips to the grocery, more money saved and less food wasted:
Estimated waste reduction: 22.5%
Yearly savings: over $640
Q: How long does vacuum-sealed food last?
Vacuum-sealing your food with SealVax containers can keep it fresh for up to five times longer than traditional storage. Meats and other foods stay protected from freezer burn and maintain their fresh taste longer in the freezer. Delicate produce like berries and greens can stay crisp and colorful for several extra days in the fridge. As always, use your best judgment—check the look, smell, and taste before enjoying.

🧂 SeasonSeal Containers Collection
Q: How does vacuum marinating work, and why is it faster?
SeasonSeal uses our new dual-mode vacuum device. SEASON Mode cycles the vacuum pressure to open the fibers of your food, helping flavor soak in and penetrate fast. Research from NC State University (link) shows vacuum cycling can cut marination time by up to 3X—great flavor in minutes, not hours.
Q: How do I use SeasonSeal for marinating?
Just place your food and marinade in the SeasonSeal container, leave a little space at the top, and use the SEASON MODE of the dual-mode vacuum to marinate faster than you thought possible.
To activate:
1. Flip the lid lever to OPEN
2. Long-press the vacuum device for 5 seconds until the blue light turns on
3. Let it run (about 30–40 minutes)—it shuts off automatically
Want to store after? Just switch the lid to SEALED and vacuum one more time.
