FAQ

About My Order

AMERICA’S ORIGINAL PREMIUM SMELL-PROOF BAG COMPANY SINCE 2014


We didn’t invent smell-proof. We perfected it.


Founded 2014 by Vatra — Leader in Protective Bag Products Since 1999

100,000+ Customers • 4.8★ Rating • SK9® odor-blocking technology



THE MAN BEHIND THE BAG — VETERAN DESIGNER MAKING BAGS SINCE 1997


Founder and designer, Alise immigrated to Los Angeles in the early 90s with $300 in his pocket and a dream of surfing California beaches.


He built his first company from a storage unit in the LA Arts District. He refused to take loans — from banks, from anyone — because his integrity meant more than shortcuts.


In 1999, he founded Vatra and spent 15 years as a leader in protective bag products, selling over 1 million bags before ever starting Skunk.


He knew bags. He knew protection. He knew what worked — and what didn’t.


But smell-proof? That was the challenge no one had truly solved.



WHY SKUNK EXISTS


As a hockey and soccer player, Alise dealt with smelly gear his entire athletic life. Equipment reeks. Regular bags do nothing. Odor escapes into cars, homes, lockers — everywhere.


He wanted a real solution, not marketing language.

A system that actually stopped odor at the molecular level.


In 2014, he set out to create the world’s first truly smell-proof bag.



WHAT HE FOUND WAS SHOCKING


He sourced activated carbon samples from Japan, Europe, the US, Canada, and the Far East.


What he learned: not all activated carbon works for odor.


• Some carbon is made for water filtration — useless for smell

• Some is so thin it provides only 30–40% odor reduction

• High-performance odor carbon costs $10+ per square meter

• Cheap carbon costs $1


We tested every “smell-proof” bag on the market.

Every single one failed.


Then we cut them open.


One used white paper labeled as “carbon lining.”

Another used thin black material — technically carbon, but designed for water filtration, not odor.


The industry relied on labels, not performance.

We decided to build something different.



SK9® — BUILT FROM SCRATCH


We engineered smell-proof technology from the ground up.


PREMIUM ACTIVATED CARBON


At the core of SK9® is a high-surface-area activated carbon formula with an ROA of 1500m²/g — approximately 2–3× higher than most competitors.


Odor molecules are trapped inside the pores of the carbon, where they are neutralized and contained — not masked, not delayed.


This carbon can represent up to 25% of a bag’s total cost.

We invested in direct chemical manufacturing relationships to make it possible.



CARBONFLOW® MULTI-LAYER SYSTEM


SK9® uses a CarbonFlow® multi-layer construction that maximizes contact between odor-compromised air and activated carbon.


This ensures odor molecules reach the carbon layer efficiently and remain trapped in the pores, preventing escape back into the environment.



AIRFLOW™ LINING


High-concentration activated carbon powder can migrate over time in poorly designed bags.


Our proprietary Airflow™ lining allows air to pass through to the carbon layer while capturing loose carbon particles, keeping the interior clean and maintaining long-term performance.


This lining is a critical part of why SK9® technology lasts longer than imitation bags.



SEALED CONSTRUCTION


Liquid rubber–coated fabric creates airtight seams.

Flexible. Durable. Built to last without cracking.



TEMPERATURE CONTROL


An integrated foil insulation layer helps protect contents from heat and cold.



INTEGRATED LOCKS


We were the first smell-proof bag company to integrate combination locks — because real protection includes privacy.



⚠️ A WARNING ABOUT CHEAP BAGS


The market is flooded with low-cost products claiming to be smell-proof.


Most use:

• Water-filtration carbon

• No R&D or odor testing

• Copied marketing language

• No real company or track record


These bags offer 30–40% odor reduction at best.

That isn’t smell-proof. It’s misleading.



WHY WE’RE SPEAKING UP


We’ve built two companies in this industry over 25 years by letting the work speak for itself.


But when consumers are misled by fake claims and gimmicks — someone has to be honest.


Ask:

• Who founded the company?

• How long have they been building bags?

• What technology do they actually use?


If they can’t answer clearly, that tells you everything.



THE TRUTH ABOUT K9 TESTING


Skunk Bags are 100% smell-proof to human detection when used properly.


For canine detection, we have extensive real-world testimonials from customers with trained K9 units.

However, we do not make irresponsible absolute claims.


K9 performance depends on:

• External contamination

• Proper sealing

• Handling

• Environment

• Training of the dog


For maximum protection, use SK9® inserts to add additional layers of activated carbon.
