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

    These bags are just the Cats Meow! Home prepared foods can have the same shelf life as pre packaged foods with the cost difference between heaven and well you know where. My suggestion is put a vacuum seal on all of your bags please. Would I recommend all of your products, the answer is YES with great pleasure

    Packaging??

    Posted by Jeff Dyk on 12th Jul 2015

    My previous orders were received with the mylar bags packaged in a sealed plastic bag and then placed in a cardboard box. This was nice packaging. This new order arrived with each of the three different sized mylar bags that I purchased placed directly into a cardboard box that I received partially opened. These bags are made for food storage and mine arrived with cardboard dust particles all over them. And who knows what other contaminants they were exposed to during the shipment process. Not exactly the sterile product that I received from you in the past. Disappointed for sure.

    Great Size/Zip Lock

    Posted by Cindy W. on 11th May 2015

    These bags are the perfect size for portioning foods like instant mashed potatoes. The zip lock lets you get most of the air out of the bag prior to sealing it. Easy ordering online and fast delivery. Thank you for helping prep at a very reasonable cost.
