Product Overview
Mylar® Bags stand out as the primary safeguard for extended food storage. When paired with oxygen absorbers and a sturdy container, Mylar® establishes the ultimate defense system for preserving your food over the long haul. Crafted from multiple layers of polyethylene and aluminum foil, our Mylar® bags boast outstanding barrier properties against oxygen, light, and moisture, ensuring unparalleled protection for your stored foods & provisions.
Unlike other sellers who use the term 'Mylar' in the generic sense, we are the only manufacturer still using actual BoPet Mylar® in our bags. Why? Mylar has up to 2000% more barrier protection to Oxygen/Moisture than the LDPE, HDPE or LLDPE many sellers use to replace it; plus, it has higher tensile strength as well. It's a little more expensive, but it's so worth it for your food storage.

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 our love for food storage...so we build products that 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%. Mylar® makes such a difference that our 5 mil bags outrank several of our competitors 7 mil bags! 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? Rely on a company that uses the best materials (we use them ourselves every day!), even if it costs a few pennies more. (And often it doesn't even cost more!) If you’re one of those looking for 20 or 30 years out of your food storage, you should use the best storage products available.
