Food storage is necessary for both homes and businesses. The goal is to keep the food fresh, dry and usable for a long time. Choosing the right packaging can lead to a big difference. Mylar bags have become one of the most reliable options for this purpose.
Their material, structure, and features make them a top pick for dry food preservation. At The Mylar Bags, we offer many types and sizes to help you store your food safely.
Many foods deteriorate when exposed to air, light or moisture. Everyone needs a seal environment to stay fresh for grains, beans, rice, seeds and dehydrated objects. Without proper protection, food can adapt, grow bacteria, lose taste, or attract pests. This is why using ordinary plastic or paper bags is not always enough.
Mylar bags offer a better solution. They have strong barrier layers that block oxygen and moisture. They also reflect light, keeping temperature levels more stable.
This slows down the aging process of food and helps keep it in its original state for much longer.
Mylar is a polyester film that acts as a barrier. It is designed from stretched polyethylene terephthalate, which makes it difficult and resistant to tearing. When aluminum is combined and properly sealed with layers, these bags become airtight and light-proof.
This prevents oxidation and prevents your food from getting stale. Most of the miler bags can be heat-seated to a safe shutdown.
Some also come with ziplocks, making it easy to reseal the bag after opening. These features help reduce waste and keep opened items fresh.
Mylar bags are best used for dry, low-fat items. These include items like white rice, beans, lentils, rolled oats, pasta, powdered milk, dehydrated fruits and vegetables, freeze-dried meals, and flour. These foods store well and benefit from long shelf lives when sealed correctly.
Foods with high fat or moisture content are not ideal unless you plan to consume them soon. For long-term food storage, low-moisture items work best.
At The Mylar Bags, we offer several sizes for different needs. For small portions, the 1 oz Mylar bags are great. These are perfect for samples, seeds, or spices. If you’re storing herbs or items with strong scents, our smell-proof Mylar bags are ideal for odor control.
Our 3.5 gram Mylar bags are also popular for daily use. They’re compact, easy to store, and great for small quantities. For larger needs, such as bulk food storage or emergency preparation, our 5-gallon Mylar bags can hold large amounts of grains or beans. These are perfect for home pantries, long-term storage setups, and prepper kits.
Many customers use Mylar bags not only for food but also for branding or selling goods. We offer designer Mylar bags for businesses that want custom-printed packaging. These bags come in a variety of finishes and can include logos, patterns, and other artwork. Custom designs help products look more professional and can support brand recognition.
We also have specialty options like die-cut Mylar bags, which offer unique shapes, and Mylar bags with windows, which let customers see the contents before purchase.
It’s simple to seal a Mylar bag. Once the dry goods are in, work out the excess air by either pressing it out using your hands or using a vacuum sealer. Oxygen absorbers help to lengthen the shelf life of many foods. After that, close the bag with either a heat sealer or a flat iron.
Don’t store the sealed bags anywhere hot, humid or near lighting. You can use a closet or pantry for storing your foods. According to Epac Flexibles Packaging If sealed and stored well, food will stay good in Mylar bags for up to 25 years.
