Bulk storage of one mylar bag and a 6 gal. bucket will fill just about every square inch of space. A number of smaller irregular vacuum sealed bags would fill the same space but have less volume due to voids.
The technique used should be tailored to the individual's needs.

Who vacuum sealed many a cloth item for a sub-surface swim using plastic bags and a boat foot pump.

Roger that.
Sharp or pointed items (like grain) will puncture most plastic bags, even without vacuum packing, that is why they use a good quality Mylar bag for vacuum packing bulk food inside the buckets.
