Packs Protect Pocket - Lockable Carbon-Lined Odour Retaining Storage Bag

Please sign in to see pricing

£5.50

The Packs Protect Pocket is the smallest bag in the original Packs Protect range, combining activated carbon odour control, a built-in 3-digit combination lock and splash-resistant construction in a compact 4.5 x 6 inch format. Designed for discreet everyday storage, it provides a convenient way to keep medicines, valuables and other private personal items contained and secured while at home or on the move.

Despite its small size, the Pocket uses the same core five-layer material construction found throughout the Packs Protect range. At the centre of the bag is an activated carbon layer designed to adsorb and retain odours, supported by filter layers and a protective internal mesh.

A sealed zip and integrated combination lock complete the design, creating a compact storage pouch that offers considerably more functionality than a conventional zipped bag.

Why choose the Packs Protect Pocket?

  • Compact 4.5 x 6 inch size - the smallest model in the original Packs Protect range and easy to carry inside another bag.
  • Activated carbon lined - designed to adsorb and retain odours within the bag.
  • 5-layer material construction - combines a durable outer, filtration layers, activated carbon and protective internal mesh.
  • Built-in 3-digit combination lock - helps keep private belongings away from casual or unauthorised access.
  • Resettable combination - the security code can be changed when required.
  • Sealed zip - designed to improve odour retention while also helping protect against accidental splashes.
  • Internal divider - helps separate and organise smaller items within the compact bag.
  • Splash resistant - useful for everyday storage where accidental water or drink spillages may occur.
  • Light-tight construction - the opaque multi-layer material prevents light passing through to the contents.
  • Rechargeable carbon - the activated carbon layer can be reactivated to help maintain its odour-retaining performance.

5-layer carbon-lined construction

Packs Protect uses a five-layer material system rather than relying on a simple fabric pouch. Each layer performs a different role in protecting the contents and maintaining the effectiveness of the activated carbon.

The outer polyester layer is backed with matt black PVC, creating a durable and opaque exterior. Beneath this is a non-woven filter layer that allows odour molecules to reach the activated carbon.

At the centre is a thick layer of activated carbon embedded fabric. Activated carbon contains a highly porous structure that adsorbs odour molecules onto its surface, helping retain unwanted smells rather than allowing them to pass freely through the bag.

A second filter layer helps hold the carbon material in position, while an internal protective mesh shields the carbon layer from the contents and everyday wear.

Sealed zip for improved odour retention

A carbon-lined bag still needs an effective closure. Packs Protect therefore uses a sealed zip design across its range to reduce the amount of air and odour that can pass through the closure.

The sealed zip also contributes to the Pocket's splash-resistant construction, helping protect the contents from the type of accidental water or drink spillages that can occur during everyday use.

Built-in 3-digit combination lock

The Pocket features an integrated 3-digit combination lock that secures the zip pulls when the bag is closed. The combination can be set to the owner's preference and reset later when required, provided the existing code is known.

This makes the Pocket particularly useful for medicines, money, documents and other personal belongings that need to be kept private or away from casual access.

The compact lock is intended as an access deterrent for personal storage. It should not be considered equivalent to a certified security safe where high-security storage is required.

Rechargeable activated carbon

Activated carbon gradually reaches its adsorption capacity as it captures odour molecules. A useful feature of the Packs Protect construction is that the carbon can be reactivated rather than the entire bag simply being replaced.

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

The heat helps release odour molecules held by the activated carbon, refreshing its ability to adsorb further odours. Avoid excessive heat and always follow the recommended care method.

Small enough for everyday storage

At approximately 4.5 x 6 inches, the Packs Protect Pocket is designed specifically for smaller quantities and personal belongings rather than bulk storage.

Its compact dimensions make it useful for storing suitable items such as:

  • Medicines and personal healthcare items
  • Small valuables
  • Money
  • Keys and accessories
  • Private personal items
  • Small odorous items requiring carbon-lined storage

The Pocket can be placed inside a rucksack, work bag, drawer or cupboard without taking up the space required by a larger lockable storage bag.

Packs Protect Pocket FAQs

How big is the Packs Protect Pocket?

The original Packs Protect Pocket measures approximately 4.5 x 6 inches, making it the smallest bag in the original Packs Protect range.

Is the Packs Protect Pocket carbon lined?

Yes. It contains an activated carbon layer within a five-layer material structure designed to adsorb and retain odours.

Does the Pocket have a combination lock?

Yes. A built-in 3-digit combination lock secures the zip pulls and can be set to the owner's preferred code.

Does it have an internal divider?

Yes. The Packs Protect Pocket includes an internal divider to help separate and organise smaller stored items.

Is the Packs Protect Pocket waterproof?

It is best described as splash resistant. Its durable outer material and sealed zip help it withstand accidental water or drink spillages, but it should not be treated as a submersible waterproof dry bag.

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.

Can the lock combination be changed?

Yes. The 3-digit combination can be reset when required, provided the current code is known.

Can I use the Pocket for medicines?

Yes. Its lockable design makes it useful for personal medicines and similar items that need to be kept private and away from casual access. Medicines should still be stored according to their own instructions.

What is the difference between a carbon-lined bag and a normal storage pouch?

A standard fabric pouch primarily provides physical storage. The Pocket adds an activated carbon layer for odour retention, a sealed zip, internal divider and combination lock.

Is the Pocket suitable for travelling?

Its compact size makes it convenient for carrying inside a larger bag. When travelling, always ensure the contents themselves comply with any applicable transport, security and destination rules.
