Chicago (March 5, 2022) — YouCopia introduces a new system for drying and storing reusable food bags, and an easy solution to organizing plastic food storage bags in one spot.

StoraBag™ Food Bag Dispenser organizes standard gallon, quart, sandwich and snack-size bags in individualized compartments. The unit lays down in a drawer or stands vertically in a cabinet. Bright labels (24 removable labels included) and wide slots help one easily find and pull the needed bag. When it’s time to reload, a removable lid gets the job done quick. The unit is durable, easy-to-clean and BPA-free. Available July 1, 2022 in 3-, 4- or 5-slot sizes; SRP $19.99-$39.99.

Dry+Store™ Bag Drying Rack and Bin provides a simple solution for drying and storing reusable food bags. Wide prongs keep bags open to quickly air-dry inside and out. A vented bottom promotes air flow and water drainage. When bags are dry, simply toss them in the bin and store away in the cabinet for an easy win. The bin stores up to 10 dry bags. Available July 1, 2022 as Drying Rack only and Drying Rack and Bin set; SRP $19.99-29.99.
