Mylar Food Storage Bags

Mylar Food Storage Bags from Packaging Kite are a super way to keep your food fresh for a long time. They are not like ordinary plastic bags. These bags are made from a special material called Mylar which is very strong and protects your food from things that make it spoil. What are Mylar Bags? Mylar is a kind of plastic film that's shiny and strong. It's made from stretched polyester. Think of it as a super strong plastic wrap. These bags are much thicker and more durable than the flimsy bags you get at the grocery store. Because they are so strong, they create a really good barrier against air, light, moisture, and even smells. These are the things that cause food to go bad. Why Use Mylar Bags for Food Storage? Regular bags let air and moisture seep in. This can cause food to get stale, moldy, or just plain bad. Mylar bags stop this from happening. They keep your food fresh for much longer than other types of storage. This is really helpful if you want to store food for emergencies, camping trips, or just to keep leftovers fresh in your freezer. They also help keep bugs and rodents out. Nobody wants to find pests have gotten into their food! What Kinds of Food Can You Store? You can store all sorts of food in Mylar bags. They are great for dry goods like rice, beans, pasta, flour, and sugar. They are also good for storing dehydrated fruits and vegetables. Canned goods can also be stored if you want an extra layer of protection. Freeze dried food lasts for many, many years when sealed in Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers. The possibilities are pretty big, but some foods with high oil content, like nuts, may have a shorter shelf life. How to Use Mylar Bags Using Mylar bags is simple, but it’s important to do it right. First, make sure the bag is clean and dry inside. Then, put your food into the bag. Next, add an oxygen absorber. Oxygen absorbers are little packets that take out the oxygen from inside the bag. Remember, oxygen makes food spoil. Seal the bag shut. You can do this with a heat sealer. A heat sealer is a tool that melts the edges of the bag together to create a strong seal. Oxygen Absorbers: A Must Have! Oxygen absorbers are a very important part of using Mylar bags. They remove the oxygen inside the bag after you seal it. This helps to keep your food fresh for a much longer time. They come in different sizes, so make sure you use the right size for the amount of food you are storing. You’ll see that they come in a sealed package. Once you open the package, the oxygen absorbers start to work, so use them quickly. Sealing Your Mylar Bags Sealing your Mylar bag is the most important step to keep the food inside fresh. A heat sealer is the best way to do this. It melts the edges of the bag together to create a strong, airtight seal. If you do not have a heat sealer, you can try using an iron, but be careful not to burn the bag. Make sure the seal is complete. If there are any gaps, air can get in, and your food will not stay fresh. Different Sizes for Different Needs Packaging Kite Mylar bags come in many different sizes. We have small bags for storing snacks or spices. We have bigger bags for storing larger amounts of food, like rice or beans. Choose the size that's right for the amount of food you want to store. Having different sizes helps you avoid wasting space. Benefits of Using Packaging Kite Mylar Bags There are many benefits to using Packaging Kite Mylar bags. They protect your food from air, light, moisture, and pests. This means your food stays fresh for a longer time. This can save you money because you won't have to throw away spoiled food. They are strong and durable, so they can handle rough handling and storage. They are also easy to use. And knowing you have food stored safely gives you peace of mind. Taking Care of Your Mylar Bags Mylar bags are strong, but they're not indestructible. Don’t put anything sharp inside that could puncture the bag. Store your sealed bags in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight. While the bags protect food from light, the bags themselves can degrade over long exposure to the sun's rays. Check your bags regularly to make sure the seals are still intact. If you see any damage, re seal them, if you can, or transfer the food to a new bag.
