Mylar Bags small

These Small Mylar Style bags provide an efficient and highly effective solution for preserving food over the long term. Their innovative 3-layer design makes the Mylar Bags small essentially three bags in one, offering unparalleled protection for your stored goods.

Superior 3-Layer Design

1. Outer Layer – PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) The outermost layer of these Mylar bags is made from PET, the same sturdy material used in manufacturing soft drink bottles. This layer gives the bag its remarkable strength and durability, ensuring that it can withstand handling and environmental stresses without tearing or puncturing.

2. Middle Layer – Aluminium The middle layer consists of a thin layer of aluminium, commonly referred to as tinfoil. This layer serves multiple critical functions:

• Light Protection: It effectively blocks harmful UV rays, preventing them from degrading the contents of the bag.
• Diffusion Barrier: This aluminium layer acts as a robust barrier against oxygen and other gases, preventing them from seeping through the bag as they would with ordinary plastic bags. This ensures that the food inside remains fresh and uncontaminated by external elements.

3. Inner Layer – Food Grade Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) The innermost layer is made of food-grade LDPE, a material frequently used in food packaging. This layer:

• Prevents Direct Contact with Aluminium: It ensures that the food does not touch the aluminium, which could potentially react with certain types of food.
• Enables Heat Sealing: This inner layer allows you to easily seal the bags yourself using a heat sealer, creating an airtight closure that extends the shelf life of your stored food.

Benefits of Mylar Bags

Mylar bags offer several significant advantages for long-term food storage:

• Protection Against UV Light: By blocking UV rays, these bags prevent the degradation and spoilage of food, preserving its quality and nutritional value.
• Oxidation Prevention: The aluminium layer prevents oxidation, which can spoil food and cause it to lose its flavor and nutritional content.
• Aroma Preservation: These bags effectively lock in aromas, ensuring that the food maintains its original taste and smell over extended periods.
• Extended Shelf Life: The combination of these protective features results in a significantly extended shelf life for your food, making Mylar bags ideal for long-term storage.

Ideal for a Variety of Foods

Mylar bags are perfect for storing a wide range of dry goods, ensuring they remain fresh and ready to use whenever you need them. They are especially well-suited for:

• Dried Beans: Keep beans dry and free from contamination, ready for cooking whenever you need them.
• Chickpeas: Store chickpeas long-term without worrying about them going stale or getting damaged.
• Rice: Preserve the quality and flavor of rice, keeping it free from pests and moisture.

How to use Mylar bags

For long-term storage make sure that the food is well dried, clean and free from any bugs. They  can be sealed with hot jaws Handheld Heat sealer. As a personal tip, most hair straighteners do the job just as well. Sadly due to their thickness most vacuum sealer WON’T seal them properly.

Mylar bags can be reused. Just cut the sealing line off, fill it again and reseal them. You can do it as long as the Mylar bag is clean and has a usable size.
The Mylar bags are shipped from New Zealand.

Please note that these Mylar Bags have to be heat sealed.
