Mylar bags are resealable bags that can be compared to a soft can. A mylar bag shares many properties with a can and provides effective protection such as moisture, oxygen, light, odor and bacteria while being as flexible as a plastic bag. If you want to build up a food supply, mylar bags are the perfect alternative. Together with oxygen absorbers, they can keep foods such as pasta, rice, cereals, dried fruit and berries fresh and edible for up to 20-30 years. The oxygen absorbers remove the oxygen in the sealed bag and create an environment where both food and paper and tools can be stored safely for many years. With us you will find mylar bags in sizes from 1 dl to 30 liters so that you can find a resealable bag for your needs!
Smart food storage for your emergency stock - zip bag with three protective layers
Our mylar bags are designed with three layers to protect the contents from moisture, light, odor, bacteria and pests. The outer layer is made of BoPet, a modified plastic used in plastic bottles, which makes it extremely strong, tight and puncture resistant. The middle layer consists of an aluminum foil that protects the contents from light and prevents gas and fruit from penetrating. The innermost layer is a food-grade PE plastic, the same material used in gladpack, which makes it very stretchable and durable against wear and tear and sharp objects.
These three layers together form a strong barrier that keeps out moisture, odor and bacteria, making it possible to store both food and tools for a long time. To ensure an airtight seal, it is important to heat seal the mylar bag before storage, even those with ziplocks. This is easily done with a straightener or iron.

Mylar bags are also called vacuum bags, storage bags, prepping bags, food storage bags, dear child they have many names.
