Detailed Description

Complete technical specification and implementation details from the patent document.

This application is a continuation application of International Application No. PCT/IB2025/054820, filed on May 8, 2025, which is based upon and claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202421034596.2, filed on May 13, 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of vacuum compression bags, and in particular to a compression bag.

A vacuum compression bag is a storage bag that can evacuate air and enable the atmospheric pressure to naturally compress internal items. In daily life, it is mainly applied to household storage for clothing and bedding, travel storage for a change of clothes, etc. The vacuum compression bag can be used to store cotton quilts, cotton-padded clothes, pillows, blankets, towels, and other highly compressible items. It not only can save storage space, but also can achieve moisture-proof, mildew-resistant and anti-odor effects, and prevent the growth of bacteria and mites.

However, the existing vacuum compression bags are prone to air leakage at their corners in use, such that the interior of the vacuum compression bag communicates with the outside and blows up. This leads to growth of mildew on the clothing in the vacuum compression bag, compression failure of the vacuum compression bag, and bag expansion, and takes up more space.

Therefore, the technical problem to be solved urgently in the field is to provide a vacuum compression bag with desirable sealing performance.

The present disclosure aims to solve one of the technical problems in the related art to some extent. In view of this, the present disclosure provides a compression bag. The compression bag has desirable sealing performance, and can improve storage efficiency and prevent mildew of the clothing.
