The patented FoodSaver®
vacuum packaging system is
superior to more conventional
means of food packaging, including freezer and
storage bags and plastic containers, in preventing
dehydration, rancidity, mold, freezer burn and
hardening of food. The FoodSaver®allows consumers
to extend the shelf-life of food three to five times
longer than traditional storage systems and reduces
expenditures to replace spoiled food. Tilia introduced
its original FoodSaver®product through infomercials
and has since expanded its distribution methods to
include primarily retail customers such as Costco
Wholesale Corp., Kohl’s Corporation, Sears, Roebuck
and Co., Target Corporation and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.
Tilia is the leading provider of vacuum packaging
systems for household use under the FoodSaver®
brand. Vacuum packaging is the process of removing
air from a container to create a vacuum and then sealing
the container so that air cannot re-enter.
