Question:

Where can I get an item vacuum packed?

I have a memory foam mattress topper that was vacuum packed in its original box, and when I took it out originally, it expanded to many, many times its original vacuum packed size. I live far away and need to ship it to myself now, but now that it's not vacuum packed and shrunk, I can't get it much smaller than the largest of my suitcases. Is there any place that I can go to get it industrially shrink wrapped or vacuum packed (preferably in the DFW area) so that I can get it down to at least a fraction of its original size? The home vacuum sealers won't do the trick; this mattress pad is much too strong and large for what they are intended to do. I've tried and nothing works, I'm thinking only an industrial stength vacuum packer will work.

Answer:

Sounds like either worms or their eggs were packed in there with the food.
This may be a long shot, but I know meat packing plants have large vaccuum sealing machines. Maybe you could find one in your area that would do it for you for a small fee. Hopefully it wouldn't come out smelling like chicken!
You might try calling some cleaners. They vacuum seal wedding dresses for storage (they may ship them out for that). You may be able to find out from them. You may want to also try packing and shipping stores. Good luck ------ I live in Allen (DFW area)
