Product Description

Here is a functional and affordable vacuum bag closure system that has a couple of nice improvements over standard plastic bag closures.

  • pg-closure-comparison.gifIt is made from PVC instead of ABS or polystyrene which gives it greater clamping strength and durability. Unlike other plastic closure systems, the PVC will not stretch or weaken over time.
  • This new closure has a special angled edge on the sleeve component which makes it very easy to snap over the tube. It's a small change but a huge improvement.
  • You'll find that our bag closure is nearly 100% larger than competing bag closures. This additional surface area provides more clamping power and greater ease of use. No more fumbling around with tiny closure systems that seem impossible to remove! 

Comments from Joe
Please note that you do not need this item if you are ordering a vacuum bag. A closure system is included with each vacuum bag.

The bag closure will ship separately from other items in your order. Because of this, there is an additional handling charge for non-US destinations. Due to shipping limitations, the 58" closure can not be shipped to Australia or New Zealand. The 84" closure can not be shipped outside of the USA.

The 84" closure is considerably more expensive than the others because of the shipping container we use and because UPS charges $8.00 extra for anything over 60" in length.

This item is not recommended for shop-made vacuum bags with top mounted seams.
Instead I recommend the wood bag closure described here.

  1. Unusual Use for Quilting

    Review by Susan N. Zimmer

    My quilting club just bought a dozen of these clamps and we love them. They are perfect for holding quilts and they do not stretch the fabric. These were recommended to us by a quilt instructor at Joanne's Fabrics. Our shipping cost for 12 closures was reasonable. We ordered on a Thursday and received the closers on Monday.

  2. No Hassle Bag Closure

    Review by Miller R.

    Not much to say. This closure works without fuss or headache. That's more than I can say about the closure that came with my vacuum bag from [another company].

  3. Great Product And Delivered Quick

    I've ordered from this website 15 to 20 times and I have never been disappointed with anything that Joe has sent me. This bag closure is no exception. It is much better than the closure that came with my bag from another vacuum press supplier. The plastic is a bit more rigid and the size is just right. Shipping was reasonable as was delivery time.

  4. This Closure Is Much Better

    Review by Dean Roloff

    I've found nothing better for closing my vacuum bags. I have been vacuum pressing veneer for 10 years and I've gone through my fair share of bags. At one point, I had 8 bags in my shop. Every time I used one, I would curse the closure. It was a pain beyond all pains. But this new closure is much better. It's easy on the fingers and seals a bag much better than anything else I've tried. No more worrying and no more cussing. The service here is excellent and the shipping was reasonable and quick. I highly recommend this item.

  5. What A Flawless Closure

    Review by Kevin Roddy

    I've always been impressed with Joe's products here and this closure set is no exception. I bought one set from Joe which arrived promptly and tried it on my old 30 gauge vinyl vacuum bags and found that it sealed flawlessly. Just for giggles I did a small test using my vacuum system. I pulled a full vacuum on the bag with my old closure which is about half the thickness of Joe's closure. The cycle time in a 4 x 8 bag was about 6 and a half minutes. Then I switched over to Joe's closure set and the cycle time went all the way out to 28 minutes. Enough said. It is clearly a better closing system than the stock stuff that (edit - another company) is selling. We then bought enough sets to re-fit all of our bags in the shop.

    Kudos again! And two thumbs up.
