Vacuum Packs
TILLIV Vacuum Packs are designed to compress soft clothing and belongings efficiently. Follow these steps before first use to ensure smooth performance:
1. Place your clothes inside the vacuum pack
2. Hold the D-ring (the black corner). Lift the zipper tail gently and slide it until you feel a light stop or gentle resistance. That’s when the pack is fully sealed and airtight.
If the zipper feels tight midway, check that no fabric or the zipper guard is caught inside. Gently free any caught material, then try closing again. Avoid pulling forcefully, as this can damage the zipper.
3. Attach the white nozzle to the valve with the metal ring. Insert the pump securely so the seal is tight.
Double-click the power button to begin deflating. Press it once to stop when the pack feels firm and air-free.
Do not insert any object into the valve. Only use the cream nozzle with Nano Pump to deflate all TILLIV vacuum packs. Black nozzles are designed for inflatables and deflatables, such as pool toys, not for TILLIV Vacuum Packs.
4. Once deflation is complete, remove Nano Pump and close the valve cap tightly. Your clothes are now protected, compact, and ready for your adventure!
We recommend using the Nano Pump for the most efficient deflation. If you don’t have one, you can also release the air manually.
Open the valve and press down firmly on the closed pack to release air. Ensure the zipper is fully sealed—you’ll feel slight resistance right before it closes completely.
Your TILLIV Vacuum Packs are designed to stay airtight even without extra products. However, if you want to keep the zipper running extra smoothly over time, here’s how to care for it.
During travel, fabric fibers or dust can get trapped along the zipper or cause slight bends that affect airtightness.
Make sure the zipper is completely open, and use TILLIV Zipper Lubricant Wipes to lubricate each side of the zipper. Slide steadily open and close 5 times, and you're ready to go!
Make the zipper glide smoother and maintain long-term performance.
- Apply a small pea-sized amount at each zipper end.
- Open and close the zipper five times to evenly spread it.
- Leave the pack closed after use to preserve the seal.
To keep your Vacuum Packs in top shape:
- Wipe the zipper gently with TILLIV Zipper Lubricant Wipes to remove dust or fibers.
- Reapply a small amount of TILLIV Zipper Gel if desired.
These steps aren’t essential for the first use, but they help your TILLIV Vacuum Packs stay at their best: sealing smoothly, staying airtight, and ready to travel with you trip after trip.
To make care even easier, TILLIV Performance Kit, which includes both the Zipper Gel and Lubricant Wipes. plus a Repair Patch for added peace of mind.
Step 1: Check the Zipper Closure
Ensure that the zipper is fully closed to the end, as there is a stop point (point of resistance) before the zipper end.
Poor deflation often occurs when the zipper is not completely closed. Please check this and try again.
Step 2: Inspect Storage Condition
Check that the vacuum pack has been stored flat and that the zipper is not bent or folded. Bending or folding the zipper can affect its airtight integrity.
Step 3: Lubricate the Zipper
If the zipper has been bent or folded, apply:
- TILLIV Zipper Lubricant Wipes: Wipe along the full zipper length once, then open and close 5 times.
- TILLIV Zipper Gel: Put a pea-sized amount at each end of the zipper, then open and close 5 times.
After lubrication, store the vacuum pack flat for 7 days to help restore the seal.
Over time, the vacuum pack zipper may collect fabric fibers, dust, or hair that can affect its airtight seal. This is easy to fix.
- Open the zipper completely and check for any visible dirt, fibers, or dust.
- Use TILLIV Zipper Lubricant Wipes to clean along the full length of the zipper, including both upper and lower teeth, and the closed ends.
- Close the zipper about 2–3 inches from the open end.
- Gently roll the open end to expose the zipper teeth. Do not bend the zipper.
- Use a toothpick or tweezers to remove any trapped fibers or debris.
- Apply TILLIV Zipper Gel — put a pea-sized amount at each end of the zipper, then open and close it five times to spread evenly.
- The airtight zipper is now clean and ready for your next trip.
