COMMERCIAL TRANSPORTATION GARMENT BAG AND METHODS

摘要

A commercial transportation garment bag includes a flexible, fluid-impermeable bag made of sustainable material to protect articles from damage, dirt and moisture during storage and transoceanic transportation shipping while lowering transportation cost and carbon footprint. The commercial transportation garment bag includes a storage area, a valve opening, and a one-time-use seal. A method of using the commercial transportation garment bag includes placing an article within the storage area through the storage area access opening, sealing the storage area access opening with an one-time-use seal, and evacuating fluid from the storage area through the valve device with a vacuum source.
