1. A method of forming an insulating article from an insulating material having a first thickness, the method comprising: compressing the insulating material to form a compressed insulating material having a second thickness smaller than the first thickness;subsequent to the step of compressing, subjecting the compressed insulating material to a vacuum to form the insulating article; and prior to the step of compressing, depositing the insulating material into a container that includes an opening greater than 1 millimeter subsequent to the step of vacuuming. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the insulating material is provided to include a glass fiber. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the container comprises a barrier layer. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the compressing is carried out at atmospheric pressure. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of compressing is carried out with a compressive load of 14.5 to 22 psi. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein a compressive force is applied onto the container to carry out the step of compressing. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the container includes at least one of a polymer, a plastic and a metal. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the opening is closed such that a pressure within the container is smaller than a pressure outside of the container. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein the opening is closed via an application of heat. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of compressing is carried out such that a thickness ratio of a thickness after the compressing relative to a thickness before the compressing is 0.40 to 0.95. 11. A method of forming an insulating article comprising: depositing insulating material having a first thickness in a container with an opening;compressing the insulating material at atmospheric pressure to form a compressed insulating material having a second thickness smaller than the first thickness; andsubjecting the compressed insulating material to a vacuum to form the insulating article, the container including an opening greater than 1 centimeter subsequent to the vacuuming step. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein a load of pressure is applied onto the container to carry out the step of compressing. 13. The method of claim 11, wherein the opening is closed such that a pressure within the container is smaller than a pressure outside of the container. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein the opening is closed via an application of heat. 15. The method of claim 11, wherein the step of compressing is carried out such that a thickness ratio of a thickness after the compressing relative to a thickness before the compressing is 0.40 to 0.95. 16. A method of forming an insulation panel, comprising: providing a pre-sealed insulation panel having a first thickness, the pre-sealed insulation panel including a flexible container and an insulation material disposed within the flexible container, the flexible container including an opening;compressing the pre-sealed insulation panel to form a compressed pre-sealed insulation panel, the compressed pre-sealed insulation panel having a second thickness smaller than the first thickness;vacuuming the compressed pre-sealed insulation panel to form a vacuumed pre-sealed insulation panel; andsealing the opening of the flexible container of the vacuumed pre-sealed insulation panel to form the sealed vacuumed insulation panel, the container including an opening greater than 1 centimeter subsequent to the vacuuming step. 17. The method of claim 16, further comprising subjecting the sealed vacuumed insulation panel to atmospheric pressure.
