Hi,
Im new to this forum, I had been searching for some time to source some mylar bags. After searching and searching with no results I made a fairly large order to satisfy my needs and have some extras available for other who need them.
I have 3 sizes:
8" x 8" - 1 quart - $1.00 ea
10" x 16" - 1 gallon - $1.50 ea
20" x 30" - 5 gallon - $2.50 ea
I dont have an unlimited supply and will not be re-ordering once they are gone. The 10" x 16" seem to be the best bags, most people use the 5 gal bags but I feel that if I need to dip into them I would rather have a 1 gallon bag opened and not a 5 gal. You can fit a few 1 gal bags in the same bucket and open them as you need them. For this reason I have more 1 gal bags then any other size.
From the manufacturer:
Mylar bags (foil pouches) will insure your food will be available when you need it. Made of a multi layer poly and aluminum foil laminated together. Mylar bags (foil pouches) are used for long term food storage because the metal barrier protects food from moisture, light and oxygen. Air cannot get in or out of a properly sealed mylar bag.
- Heavy duty bags made of Silver 4mil Laminated PET/Foil/Poly barrier film
- These bags are popular due to their good puncture structure, outstanding barrier, and relatively low cost characteristics
- FDA approved and used in the food, medical, & general industry
- Made in the USA
