Q.V.P.’s 20 mil poly bags are open at both ends, and are seamless. Being seamless eliminates any problems that might arise from a seam delaminating due to overloading.

Q.V.P. offers a lifetime warranty on all of our bag seams. If for any reason a seam on a bag delaminates, Q.V.P. will fix or repair it for the entire life of the bag. (U.S.A. ONLY)

All Q.V.P. bags are made with the same material on the top and bottom. This means that the woodworker can now turn the bag over once the top side begins to see excessive wear. The bottom side will be fresh and can be used for more pressing. This feature will nearly double the life of the bag.

A Vacuum Connector Assembly, or VCA, is used to connect the bag to your VAKuum tubing. It can be placed in the bag at the most convenient location to meet your needs. Because it is not permanently attached to your bag, you can now flip the bag over, as described above, or use it on a different bag. Each bag comes with a flexible C-Closure System which prevents any leakage from the open end of the bag. This is true even when pressing large curved objects. With a poly bag, one end closure can be moved down to accommodate smaller jobs. VCA (3/8" I.D. tubing connector or VCA6 1/2" I.D. Tubing Connector are not included with the bag.)

The Q.V.P. Frame Press offers you the advantage of easier loading & unloading of your work. You can assemble your pieces directly on the table top, so its ideal for production of panels and large flat pieces. With the Frame Press you can easily rearrange your work if it slides while pressing it. Instead of having to reach into the middle of a bag, you simply lift the frame and make your corrections. Then just close it down and pull vacuum.

The standard 6" high bag material allows you to do several stacks of flat panels at a time, as well as some curved work. Therefore, there is less chance of your bag material delaminating, as there are 90% less seams than in a seamed top. The top is made from one piece of material only 8" of seams in each corner.

Quality VAKuum Products, Inc, (Q.V.P.) also has a large 126" x 54" x 24" and 102" x 54" x 24" Vacuum Frame Presses as well as Extra Wide 8'6" x 5'6" and 10'6" x 5'6" in both 6" and 24" tops for shops requiring pressing of several flat panels at the same time or large curved pieces. The 24" high industrial grade polyurethane top permits stacking of several 4' x 10', 4' x 8' , 5' x 8' or 5' x 10' panels in one pressing. This allows a shop to lay-up the panels in place and close the frame lid without having to slide the panels into a vacuum bag. The 24" high top also allows for a large curved form to be used in the frame press. It's faster and easier for production of large work than using a vacuum bag to press veneer on flat or curved substrates.

Q.V.P. has been making large frame presses as special orders for years and has added the large frame press as a standard item. Medium sized shops do not need panel production equipment that cost tens of thousands of dollars. However, they do need the capacity to do limited production of flat or curved pieces that are difficult and time consuming to do with a mechanical press or a vacuum bag press.

Large shops with high speed panels production equipment have purchased the large frame press to do prototypes or one-of-a-kind curved pieces. As one large shop production manager said at the 1997 Anahiem Show, "We get orders for 500 flat panels and then order for 3 curved panels. We need to do them to satisfy our large account or we don't get the order for the 500 panels. Your large frame press allows us to do the curved work off line with high quality results."
