Regular Zip Bags
- Traps excess air
- Harder to compress
- Less space-efficient

Fresh Later is designed around a simple everyday routine rather than a permanent countertop setup.
Small amounts of unused food can add up over the course of a year. Here's where that money can disappear.
That's roughly £30 every week in food that can go unused - produce, meat and leftovers that never make it to another meal.
When planned food is no longer usable mid-week, another meal often has to come from somewhere else.
Larger packs can cost less per portion and reduce extra top-up shopping when the food can be portioned and stored properly.
Vacuum storage is designed to reduce the excess air surrounding food during storage.
The idea is simple: waste less of the food you've already paid for, and make more of each shop.
Savings figures are illustrative estimates and may vary significantly by household size, shopping habits, food prices, food waste, storage methods and product usage.
Exposure to air can affect stored food through oxidation, moisture loss and freezer burn. Fresh Later removes excess air from around the food before storage.
Exposure to oxygen can cause browning and other visible quality changes in certain foods.
Air surrounding stored food can contribute to moisture loss, changing texture and eating quality.
Frozen food exposed to air can lose moisture and develop the dry, discoloured areas associated with freezer burn.
Poorly portioned or difficult-to-see food can stay forgotten in the fridge or freezer until it's too late.
A simple handheld format designed to make vacuum storage easier to reach for during everyday food prep.
From splitting bigger supermarket packs to keeping leftovers visible and ready for another meal.
"I buy the larger chicken packs because they work out better, but I don't want to eat the same thing for three days. Now I split the pack straight away and only take out what we need."
"The biggest difference for me is the freezer. The portions sit flatter, I can actually see what's in there, and I'm not finding random half-used packs at the back anymore."
"I thought I'd mainly use it for the freezer, but it's the leftovers I use it for most. I take what I need, close the bag again, and the rest already has a place for another meal."
"It's small enough that I actually keep it close to where I prepare food. I can use it, put it away again, and it doesn't take over the kitchen."
"I like being able to portion everything when I get home from the shop instead of waiting until something needs using. It makes the week feel much more organised."

Fill a Fresh Later vacuum bag and close the zip completely. Place the handheld sealer over the round valve and switch it on. Fresh Later removes excess air from the bag so it tightens around the food. Then store the food in the fridge or freezer as appropriate.
Fresh Later is designed for convenient everyday use. Unlike a larger countertop machine, it is handheld, rechargeable and compact enough to put back in a drawer when you are finished.
Fresh Later works with compatible vacuum bags fitted with a one-way valve. Ordinary zip bags do not have the valve required for the vacuum function. For the best fit, we recommend Fresh Later vacuum bags.

Yes. Open the zip, take what you need, close the bag securely again and use Fresh Later on the valve to remove the excess air before returning the remaining food to storage.
Yes. Fresh Later can be used to portion meat, fish and other foods before appropriate fridge or freezer storage. Vacuum sealing does not replace correct refrigeration, freezing or food-safety practices.

Fresh Later refill bags are available separately, so you can top up your supply without purchasing another sealer.
Fresh Later comes with a 60-day money-back guarantee, giving you time to try it in your own kitchen. Returns are subject to the terms of our published returns and refund policy.
