How to Store Your Food in Mylar Bags

Mylar bags are best for storing dried food, like grains, coffee, nuts, dehydrated and freeze-dried food. Not recommended for long-term storage of moist food.

Here are our tips for filling your mylar bags:

• Fill bag with your dry food leaving a few inches from the top.
• Add an oxygen absorber to take out air, then place bag on a flat surface.
• Seal the open end closed with a hot iron.
• When sealing, go over 3-4" area several times with iron to create a wide seal. Any wrinkles in seal exposes contents to oxygen. Make sure the iron does not touch the bag's contents.
• Store pre-packed food in buckets if desired.
• Bulkier dry foods, such as pasta, will take up more space, so bags will hold less compared to quantities of finer food like grain.
