VENO 8-Pack Heavy-Duty Extra Large Moving Bags with Backpack Straps (Light Green Matte) for packing & laundry storage
Product description
At a glance
If you’re moving house, the usual stress is not just packing, it’s carrying it all. These VENO moving bags are designed to be carried like a backpack using the backpack straps, or by the sturdy handles, so you’re not stuck juggling box edges and awkward bags down flights of stairs. On paper, they aim to cover a few jobs at once: loading clothes for moving, storing items during the move, and then using the bags again later for travel or laundry.
They’re also built around “big bag” convenience. You can unfold them, open the zipper, and start filling without hunting for spare packing cartons. For anyone in a flat, student accommodation, or a smaller space where boxes are a pain to store, that reusability and fold-flat design can be a real practical advantage.
That said, it’s worth bearing in mind that heavy-duty bags can still be bulky, and the packing workflow may feel different to rigid boxes. If your move involves careful stacking and perfectly sized cartons, these will not fully replace that approach.
What they’re for (and how it feels in use)
A quick micro-scenario: say you’re packing a week before moving day. You take your winter clothes out, slide the garments in, close the zipper, then carry the bag either by the handles or wearing it like a backpack for short-to-medium trips. When you arrive, you can keep the bag for clothes storage or laundry, rather than immediately flattening and discarding packing materials.
The shopping draw here is versatility. The bags are described as reusable, lightweight and cost-effective compared with moving boxes. You also don’t have to remove hangers as part of the packing routine, because the zip extends over one side in a way that allows the bag to open wider. The idea is that you can pack hung clothes, close the zip, then unload the bag to hang items back up in your new wardrobe.
It’s a neat concept for clothes-heavy moves, but if you’re packing mostly books, fragile glassware, or irregular items that demand rigid support, you may still want additional packing methods alongside these.
Key features that matter
The headline features are straightforward: size, carrying options, and the fabric approach.
The bags are made from durable, water-repellent PP fabric. They’re also described as sturdy enough for heavy loads and bulky items, which is the bit that tends to make moving bags either useful or disappointing. Cleaning is meant to be practical too: you can wipe with a disinfectant wipe or use a damp cloth, then air dry.
For storage and organisation, the bags are foldable and come with clear label pockets so you can identify contents quickly. That helps if you’re moving at speed and don’t want to guess which bag contains what when you get to your new place.
There’s also mention of an additional top strap and side buttons that are compatible with a Frakta trolley. If you already use that kind of trolley set-up, it can make the workflow smoother, if you don’t, those details won’t change much.

What’s not so convincing (and when it might not suit you)
Moving bags are convenient, but they’re not automatically the best match for every packing job. You may find they are more of a clothes and laundry solution than a full-house replacement for boxes, especially if your belongings need firm, stackable structure.
Also, the stated “moving boxes can carry up to 22.7 kg” and the large capacity are helpful, but it doesn’t remove the basic reality that an extra-large soft bag can feel awkward if it’s overfilled or not packed evenly. If you tend to overstuff containers, it’s worth being a bit disciplined here.
Finally, the trolley compatibility is only relevant if you plan to use a Frakta trolley setup. If you’re carrying everything by hand, you might not get much extra benefit from that element.
Who it suits (and who should skip it)
It makes sense if you’re moving clothes and laundry, and you want something reusable that’s easier to carry than typical flexible bags. It’s also a strong fit for dorm moves or smaller homes where you don’t want to store lots of boxes after everything’s unpacked.
It may not be the best choice if you’re packing mainly non-clothing items that need rigid protection, or if your move is organised around stacking boxes for maximum stability. In those cases, consider using these bags as part of a mixed packing plan rather than as the only method.
Is it worth it?
If you’re looking for a practical, reusable alternative to moving boxes for clothes storage and laundry, the VENO 8-pack is a solid “worth considering” pick on its own merits. The backpack straps plus handles are the standout day-to-day convenience, and the fold-flat design with label pockets helps with both packing and post-move organisation.
You’ll be happier with it if clothes-heavy packing is your main goal, and you’re okay with soft-sided packing where you organise contents more intentionally. You may want to skip or at least supplement it if you need rigid, stackable containers for fragile or non-clothing items.
