 Nah I think you'd need a bit more of a vaccum than you'd  be able to generate with a domestic or even comercial vaccum cleaner,  if I were to go that way, I  suspect I'd be more likely to get results by enlisting physics to help if I could fill it with hot water, seal it, and somehow shock cool it.......it will collapse, but how to do that without crushing it to the shithouse is the question ? Too risky really. And the problem outer dimensions probably wouldn't contract, it would just suck the sides in.
