Mylar Food Storage Bags

Envato Packaging brings you Mylar Food Storage Bags, the simple and effective way to keep your food fresh for longer. Imagine your favorite snacks, your emergency food supplies, or even those garden fresh herbs staying flavorful and ready to eat months, or even years, after you store them. That's the power of mylar. These bags are designed to be super tough and protect your food from the things that make it spoil: air, moisture, and light. Think of them as tiny fortresses guarding your goodies. What Are Mylar Bags? Mylar is a special kind of plastic that is very strong and blocks out almost everything. It's like a superhero shield for your food. Regular plastic bags might let air and moisture seep through, which can cause your food to get stale, moldy, or just plain yucky. Mylar bags are different. They are made with layers of materials, including a thin layer of aluminum, that work together to create an airtight seal. This seal keeps air, light, and moisture out, so your food stays fresh and delicious. Why Use Mylar Food Storage Bags? There are lots of reasons to choose mylar bags. First, they help you save money. If your food stays fresh longer, you won't have to throw away as much. Imagine buying a big bag of chips and they're still crispy weeks later. Or having rice and beans ready to go for an emergency situation. You won't be wasting money on food that goes bad before you can eat it. Second, mylar bags are great for organizing. You can store different types of food in separate bags and label them, so you know exactly what's inside. This is especially helpful for things like spices, dried fruits, and nuts. Third, they're perfect for long term storage. If you're planning a camping trip or want to prepare for unexpected events, mylar bags can help you keep food safe and edible for a long time. What Can You Store in Mylar Bags? You can store almost anything dry in mylar bags. Popular choices include: grains like rice, wheat, and oats; beans and legumes like lentils and kidney beans; dried fruits and vegetables like raisins, apricots, and carrots; nuts and seeds like almonds, walnuts, and sunflower seeds; spices and herbs like oregano, basil, and pepper; coffee and tea; and even snacks like cookies, crackers, and chips. It's important to make sure the food is dry before you store it, because moisture can still cause problems, even in a mylar bag. Avoid storing fresh or moist items like meat, cheese, or fresh produce, as these require refrigeration. How to Use Mylar Food Storage Bags Using mylar bags is easy. Here's a simple step by step guide: 1. Make sure your food is dry and cool. 2. Place the food inside the mylar bag. Don't overfill the bag. Leave some space at the top. 3. If you are using oxygen absorbers (we highly recommend it for long term storage!), add them to the bag. Oxygen absorbers are small packets that remove oxygen from the bag, which helps to prevent spoilage. 4. Squeeze out as much air as possible from the bag. 5. Seal the bag using a heat sealer. A heat sealer is a device that melts the edges of the bag together to create an airtight seal. You can find these at most stores that sell kitchen supplies. Make sure the seal is strong and complete. 6. Label the bag with the contents and the date. This will help you keep track of what's inside and how long it's been stored. 7. Store the bags in a cool, dark, and dry place. This will help to extend the shelf life of your food. Oxygen Absorbers: Your Secret Weapon Oxygen is a big enemy when it comes to food storage. It can cause food to spoil, lose its flavor, and change color. That's why oxygen absorbers are so important. They remove the oxygen from the mylar bag, creating an environment where food can stay fresh for much longer. They are small, safe packets that you simply place inside the bag before sealing. The oxygen absorbers react with the oxygen in the bag and turn it into something harmless. This helps to prevent mold growth, insect infestation, and other types of spoilage. Always use oxygen absorbers when storing food in mylar bags for long term storage.

Taking Care of Your Mylar Bags While mylar bags are strong, they are not indestructible. Avoid sharp objects that could puncture or tear the bags. Store your sealed bags in a cool, dark, and dry place. Extreme temperatures and humidity can affect the shelf life of your food. Check the bags periodically for any signs of damage, such as leaks or tears. If you find any damage, replace the bag immediately.
