Choose Premium Materials for Food Storage Mylar Bags
We understand the preservation requirements for food safe mylar bags; that’s why we craft them from top-quality materials. Inner sealant (PE / LDPE / LLDPE) provides the layer that melts to form the heat seal and is the only layer touching food, so this is where food-grade specification matters. The middle barrier, made with aluminium foil or VMPET, creates the actual barrier; foil gives the highest performance and is the usual choice for long-term storage, metallised VMPET is lighter and cheaper with a somewhat lower barrier.
The outer layer, produced with BOPET, PET, or BOPP, is the printable, abrasion-resistant face. And the optional kraft or holographic can improve the presentation and appearance of the mylar bags.
Some of the options we rely on for the different layers of the packaging may include:
- Inner Sealant Layer with PE or LDPE/LLDPE
- Middle Barrier with Aluminum Foil or VMPET
- Outer Layer with (BOPET / PET or MOPP/BOPP)
- Optional Layers with Kraft Paper / Holographic Film
Manufacturing Process of Food Storage Mylar Bags
Food storage mylar bags (ship flat and unfilled) are produced in different steps. You can fill, add absorbers, and heat-seal. However, the food-contact layer is the inner sealant, asking for food-grade confirmation on that layer specifically rather than for the bag generally. The following are the four different steps:
- Print the outer web;
- laminate the layers;
- form the pouch with gussets and seals;
- QC seal strength.

Rough Guide

Note
|
|
Small pouches (1 quart / ~1 L)
|
low-cc absorber;
|
the headspace is small
|
|
Gallon-size bags
|
mid-range absorber
|
the most common household size
|
|
5-gallon bucket liners
|
high-cc absorber
|
or several smaller ones distributed through the fill
|
|
One practical line that matters
|
densely packed foods like flour or sugar hold less trapped air than loose foods like pasta or freeze-dried items
|
so the same bag size can need a different absorber depending on what is in it
|
Apart from oxygen absorbing features, other protective elements are also available. For instance, you can go for child resistant mylar.

Suits long-term mylar storage

white rice, wheat and grains, dried beans and legumes, pasta, flour, sugar, dried herbs and spices, freeze-dried foods, powdered milk, oats.
|
nuts, brown rice and anything with a meaningful oil content: the oil goes rancid over time even without oxygen, so treat these as medium-term rather than decades.
|
anything moist or fresh: purees, wet or home-canned foods, fresh produce, and moist meats or jerky that has not been commercially dried and packaged for shelf stability. Also no to oily foods intended for decades of storage.
