There were many brands of disposable vacuum cleaner bags, some genuine and some generic, that have been available over the years. Some were store brands while others were national brands.
Who knew the Hoover company made vacuum bags for other vacuums? They could barely make good bags for their own machines.

Here we have an example of a store brand, in this case it was Kmart.

And here we have the notorious Glamorene bags. Someone started a joke thread on Vacuumland a few years ago about a lonely former tramp who was desperate for attention. Her name was Glamorene.

These bags were sold at Woolworths, along with other “dime stores”. Why is she using an Electrolux model 30 rug nozzle on a eureka princess? So many questions.

I have some Safeway-branded Electrolux bags stuffed away somewhere. It's strange to see a grocery store, of all places, selling vacuum bags. | ||

Tom, here in Canada Zellers and Canadian Tire had their own in-house vacuum bag brands. Both made by Studley in Canada and America. The Zellers packaging looked the same as Studley's packaging sold in other stores but with the Zellers logo at the top. Also, for a few years in the 2000's, Dollarama also had their own brand Electrolux Type C 4 ply bags that were decent quality.

Blue Luster
This was the brand of bags hanging at the grocery store when I grew up. Blue luster. Super suction vacuum bags. There was also the blue luster shampooers as well as the blue luster chemicals. I bought many packages of blue luster bags over the years. They were decent quality.

Tom, the earl grissomer company owned blue lustre. hoover was contracted to make the bags for them and several non hoover machines in the 60's and 70's. this information comes from dick pike who worked at hoover for 30 years.
its no different than penncrest vacuums saying jcpenney company newyork,ny on them spite the fact they were made in north canton or bloomington | ||

Thank you Will. I had no idea the blue luster bags were made by the Hoover company. The blue luster bags to fit the Compact were terrible. They clogged almost instantly. But that’s all that was at the grocery store. Pretty much everyone in town used them. You should’ve seen what they did to the secondary filter of a filter queen after just two cones were used.

NatVac International made a good attempt at copying the Hoover packaging.

Who could forget the home care Hoover bags. Leaked dust like a sieve and clogged like a pinched soda straw.

Eureka F bags & G bags Tom, Do you have any separate packages of Eureka F bags and G bags before they were combined as F & G? I believe Jimmy mentioned that one was for the cloth outer bag style and the other was for vinyl. Did the F & G debut in the '60s? | ||

Speaking of bags I remember reading something about Electrolux having hand made inner bags where the collars were glued on by a person instead of an assembly line. Can anyone elaborate on this? | ||

There is a vintage pack of generic H Style bags for Eureka Princess canisters (shows up sometimes on eBay) that I absolutely love! Why? It has a picture of a very rare Eureka Prince vacuum with two rubber bumpers, one around the bottom of the canister and a second one around the top. Very very rare version of Eureka’s famous Princess cleaner. I would buy that old pack of generic bags just to file away that picture!!! 😁

They are as orange as Tang. Sunbeam bags were made of very good materials.
