    does vacuum sealing actually do any damage? I thought if you open it up it’s unharmed.

      Depends on the type of stuffing. On a small, soft one like that, it’s generally fine. Larger stiffer stuffed animals may have a styrofoam core, in which case it depends on the strength of the vacuum pump.

      large pushies are often vacuum sealed before shipping overseas to minimize package space.

      You’re being downvoted but I was legitimately under that impression as well. Is it not actually the case??
