Food Storage Mylar Bags
Heavy mylar bags for long-term dry food storage.
For long-term storage, the goal is to keep oxygen out. Heavy foil mylar plus an oxygen absorber holds grains and beans fresh for years.
The bags heat-seal cleanly and come in gusseted sizes from quart to five gallon.
- High-barrier foil mylar, 5 mil and up
- Blocks oxygen, light and moisture
- Heat-sealable, oxygen-absorber ready
- Quart to 5-gallon gusseted sizes
“Low minimums were the whole reason we tried them. 250 pouches to test a flavor, then 5,000 when it took off — same bag, same print, no drama.”
“Our takeout boxes stopped leaking and started advertising. Grease-proof board plus one bold color on kraft — simple and it works.”
Built to keep oxygen out for years
For long-term food storage, the enemy isn't air, it's oxygen. Heavy foil mylar plus an oxygen absorber drops the oxygen inside the bag low enough to keep grains, beans, and dehydrated meals fresh for years, not months.
We supply 5-mil-and-up foil mylar that blocks oxygen, light, and moisture, in gusseted sizes from quart to five gallon, ready to heat-seal.
How storage actually works
The bag does the barrier; the absorber does the oxygen. Together they beat vacuum sealing for dry goods, because the absorber reaches a lower oxygen level and the loose bag won't puncture on sharp contents. Our blog on vacuum sealing mylar bags walks through the trade-off.
FAQ
How long does food last?
With a correctly sized oxygen absorber and a good seal, many dry staples keep for 10 to 25 years, depending on the food.
Do I need oxygen absorbers?
For long-term storage, yes. For a ready kit, see mylar bags and oxygen absorbers.
What thickness?
5 mil and up for storage, so the bag resists punctures and holds the barrier. Get a quote.
