Please sign in to see pricing

£7.50

The Packs Protect Banker is a compact lockable storage bag combining activated carbon odour control with a built-in 3-digit combination lock and convenient carry strap. Larger than the Pocket models but still highly portable, the Banker provides discreet storage for medicines, valuables, documents and other personal items at home or while travelling.

Packs Protect developed its storage bags around a multi-layer construction that incorporates activated carbon to adsorb and retain odours. The Banker adds a secure zip closure and combination lock, providing a useful balance between portability, storage space and security.

Its simple black exterior keeps the appearance deliberately discreet, while the wider rectangular format provides useful space for items that will not comfortably fit inside the smaller Pocket bags.

Why choose the Packs Protect Banker?

  • Activated carbon odour control - carbon-lined construction helps adsorb and retain unwanted odours inside the bag.
  • Built-in 3-digit combination lock - secures the zip pulls together and helps discourage casual or unauthorised access.
  • Resettable combination - the lock code can be changed when required.
  • Sealed zip - designed to complement the carbon lining by reducing potential routes for odour to escape.
  • Multi-layer construction - combines an outer protective layer, filtration material, activated carbon and internal protection.
  • Splash-resistant design - provides useful everyday protection against accidental spills and external moisture.
  • Opaque and light tight - prevents light passing through the bag to the contents.
  • Integrated carry strap - makes the Banker easy to pick up, carry and retrieve from larger bags or storage areas.
  • Rechargeable carbon layer - activated carbon performance can be refreshed following Packs Protect's care procedure.
  • Discreet black finish - understated design does not advertise the nature of the contents.

Activated carbon odour-retaining technology

The Banker is more than a conventional zipped storage pouch. Within its multi-layer construction is an activated carbon layer designed specifically to capture odour molecules.

Activated carbon contains an enormous network of microscopic pores. These provide a large internal surface area onto which odour molecules can be adsorbed, helping retain unwanted smells within the storage bag.

Packs Protect combines this carbon layer with filter material that allows odour molecules to reach the carbon while helping protect and retain the carbon material within the structure of the bag.

Integrated combination lock

A built-in 3-digit combination lock allows the two zip pulls to be secured when the Banker is closed. This provides an additional barrier against casual access without requiring a separate padlock.

The combination can be reset to a memorable personal code, making the Banker particularly useful for storing medicines, money, documents and private belongings.

The lock is intended as an access deterrent for everyday personal storage. The Banker is a portable fabric storage bag and should not be regarded as a substitute for a certified security safe where high-value or high-security storage is required.

Sealed zip & splash-resistant construction

Odour control depends on more than the carbon layer alone. A standard open fabric zip can provide an easy route for air and odour to pass through, so Packs Protect uses a sealed zip design to improve containment around the closure.

The construction also helps protect the contents against everyday splashes and accidental spills. It is designed for protected everyday storage rather than complete submersion in water.

Rechargeable activated carbon

Over time, activated carbon gradually fills with adsorbed odour molecules. Rather than treating the carbon lining as disposable, Packs Protect allows it to be reactivated using gentle heat.

Packs Protect recommends turning the bag inside out and leaving it in sunlight for a few hours. Alternatively, it can be placed in a tumble dryer on low heat for approximately 5-8 minutes.

This helps release odour molecules held by the carbon and refreshes its adsorption capacity. Excessive heat should be avoided and the manufacturer's care guidance should always be followed.

Discreet storage at home or on the move

The Banker's wider rectangular shape gives it more usable storage space than the smaller Pocket models while retaining a convenient portable format.

It can be used for suitable personal items including:

  • Medicines and personal healthcare products
  • Documents and paperwork
  • Money and small valuables
  • Keys and personal accessories
  • Private belongings requiring lockable storage
  • Odorous items that benefit from carbon-lined containment

The integrated strap makes the bag easy to carry by hand or retrieve from a cupboard, drawer, rucksack or larger travel bag.

Packs Protect Banker FAQs

What is the Packs Protect Banker?

The Banker is a portable lockable storage bag with an activated carbon lining, sealed zip and built-in 3-digit combination lock.

How does the Banker help contain odours?

The internal activated carbon layer adsorbs odour molecules, while the sealed zip and multi-layer construction help contain them within the bag.

Does the Packs Protect Banker have a lock?

Yes. A built-in 3-digit combination lock secures the zip pulls together when the bag is closed.

Can the combination be changed?

Yes. The combination can be reset, allowing the owner to choose their preferred 3-digit code.

Can I reactivate the carbon lining?

Yes. Packs Protect recommends turning the bag inside out and leaving it in sunlight for a few hours or using a tumble dryer on low heat for approximately 5-8 minutes.

Is the Packs Protect Banker waterproof?

It is designed to resist everyday splashes and accidental spills, but it should not be treated as a fully submersible waterproof dry bag.

Does the Banker protect its contents from light?

Yes. Its opaque multi-layer construction prevents light from passing through the bag to the stored contents.

Can the Banker be used to store medicines?

Yes. The lockable design makes it useful for personal medicines and similar items that need to be kept away from casual access. Always follow the medicine manufacturer's own storage requirements.

Is the combination lock a replacement for a safe?

No. It provides a useful deterrent against casual access, but the Banker is a portable storage bag rather than a certified high-security safe.

What is the carry strap useful for?

The integrated strap makes the Banker easier to carry by hand and helps with retrieving it from larger bags, cupboards, drawers or other storage areas.
