How do Smell Proof Bags Work?

Updated: Nov 24, 2022

Smell Proof Science

Do smell proof bags actually work? In order to understand that, you first need to know how they are made. There are different methods of scent prevention that keep the bag sealed tight to make it odor-free. People used to think that you needed a tight-fitting seal for your containers to keep any smells in, but that couldn’t be further form the truth.

Enter Activate carbon ! This powerful product does not require a sealant - this makes it a more ergonomic and cost-effective choice.

Major brands like RYNOBAG use only the best quality activated carbon lining, with millions of micro pockets that trap every bit of the


molecules. These little pockets work like a scented-sponge, sucking all the smells up before they can escape the bag, case or backpack. The combination of this durable, smell-eliminating carbon lining and the outer layers of the bag prevent the smells from leaking.

Good smell proof bags usually maximize the amount of activated carbon lining per square inch, which is the way we measure how smell proof a bag will be. For example , most companies will provide 2-3 mm lining of smell proof carbon , however RYNOBAG and other high end brand will offer up to 5-6 mm of carbon lining , which can be a huge factor in the extent of the smell proof abilities of the container.






Why do I need Odor Proof Storage Containers?

Once you get used to a smell, your brain adjusts to it and makes it nonthreatening. For example, living in your home for a long time might make you less aware of odors.

The issue is when outsiders visit the same bad smelling environment they might be put off by it quite a bit more than those who have grown used to it.


Will a Smell Proof Bags work in a Car?

How Long Does a Smell Proof Bag Last?

The great thing about activated carbon is that it can be recharged. To recharge or reactivate a bag, just put it in the dryer for 10 minutes or use heat from a hair dryer to release the trapped particles.

Getting a longer time in between recharges is great! Double-walled carbon lining will help you out with that by better absorbing any smelly substances like tobacco or cooking.secure smelly material in even mylar bags inside your bag as this will decrease the amount of times between having to recharge the smell proof bag. Placing the content inside is also fine, but it will only require more activations.

Increasing the time between carbon recharges is a great idea. Double-walled carbon lining can help, since it has more permeable pores for absorbing smelly things like tobacco or cooking.
