Product Overview

Premium 5 Mil Heavy-Duty Protection for Small & Medium Storage

Whether you are packing herbs, spices, freeze-dried meals, or emergency pantry supplies, these 5 mil Mylar bags provide a heavy-duty barrier against oxygen, moisture, and light degradation.

Thicker and more durable than standard 3 mil options, our 5 mil structure offers extra puncture resistance—ideal for dried foods with sharper edges like beans, rice, or dehydrated pasta.


Choose Your Style & Size:

  • 6" x 6" Zipper Seal (~1.5 Cups): Compact pouch with a resealable ziplock. Great for single-serve portions, herbs, and small items.
  • 6" x 9.5" x 3.5" Stand-Up Gusset w/ Zipper: Expanded bottom gusset lets the bag stand upright for easy filling. Resealable zipper plus heat-sealable top header.
  • 8" x 8" Flat Open Top (Heat Seal Only): Sleek, non-zipper pouch designed to be sealed directly across the top with an impulse sealer or household iron.
  • 8.25" x 8.25" Zipper Seal: Square-format pouch featuring an easy-close zipper. Perfect for medium-sized dry goods.
  • 8" x 12" Flat Open Top (Heat Seal Only): Versatile multi-cup flat bag with maximum interior volume for heat-seal storage.
  • 8" x 12" x 4" Stand-Up Gusset w/ Zipper: High-capacity stand-up bag featuring a wide 4-inch bottom gusset and top zip closure.

Features & Specs:

  • Thickness: 5 Mil Heavy-Duty Construction (Superior puncture & light defense)
  • Food Grade: BPA-free, non-toxic food-safe material
  • Heat Sealable: All bags (including zipper styles) can be heat-sealed above the closure for a permanent, tamper-evident seal
  • Storage Compatibility: Safe for dry food storage, freeze-dried foods, and long-term emergency supply storage

Suggested Oxygen Absorber Pairings:

  • 6" x 6" - 50cc
  • 6" x 9.5"x3 : 100cc
  • 8" x 8" & 8.25" x 8.25": 100cc 
  • 8" x 12" & 8" x 12" x 4": 300cc 

There are numerous options available for purchasing Mylar bags and oxygen absorbers. So, why do we say "just better bags?" What sets us apart? It's quite simple, really...our products stand out. And it isn't just a catchy slogan; our bags truly excel, as confirmed by testing. Among all of our retail competitors, we earned the highest rankings for both bags and oxygen absorbers. And it's not just a slight edge. Our 7 mil bags demonstrated 30% better puncture strength compared to Top Mylar, Harvest Right, and Wallaby's 7 or 7.5 mil bags. In terms of tensile and burst strength, we outperformed Packfresh, Wallaby, and Harvest Right by nearly 90%. See for yourself: 

 

If you are only storing a few years, you’ll probably be OK using almost any Mylar bag. But longer than that? Do you want to rely on a company that intentionally uses the best materials, even if it costs a few pennies more, or one that doesn’t? If you’re one of those looking for 20 or 30 years out of your food storage, we believe you should be using the best storage products available.

    great food storage

    We’ve bought the larger bags from here before. We wanted the smaller bags for more practical storage. And they work amazing! Definitely recommend these smaller bags!

    Bags arrived in excellent condition, were as expected, and perform as needed. Should last a long time protecting our beans and rice for the "hard times" expected to come.

    Love these bags

    Love these bags, perfect size for my long term storage. It allows me to seal my foods in portions that when opened I do not have more than I can use within a few weeks/months. Just ordered more and yes, I would recommend.
