The Science of Security: Why 5 Gallon Mylar Bags are a Must

With virtually all storage, you are left hoping for the best. With Mylar, you are ahead of the game. Mylar is a unique material created to combat the greatest causes for long-term storage failure, which are light, oxygen, and moisture. Our 5 gallon mylar vacuum seal bags are constructed with a multi-layer film material that exceeds that of normal plastic. The core of this material is a foil layer that completely blocks light and acts as a strong barrier. The no-light allowance thing is a huge plus also because light will destroy food nutrients and tarnish the colors of other storage food or items.

However, the real magic of Mylar is its ability to inhibit the allowance of gases and moisture within or outside the bag. Regular plastic bags inherently have gases and moisture that slowly slip in and out over time. Mylar does not. Our 5 Gallon Mylar Bags combined with an oxygen absorber, effectively create an area with virtually no air inside. This is what enables the inhibition of spoilage, the growth of bacteria, protection of food for 10-30+ years. This little method makes Mylar the highest quality and most effective option for emergency bulk food storage and any long-term needs.

Features That Make a Difference

You have to remember that relying on a good storage option is more than a strong bag. A good storage option needs to be easy to use and consistently reliable. A good storage option is why we put a versatile exhibit of features in our mylar ziplock bags, making it fit for all scopes of work. Our mylar ziplock bags are a great option for anything that may require repeated opening and closing. Therefore, the zipper top allows consumers to quickly access anything they want at the time and be able to seal the bag closed again so that all contents are securely sealed and locked without having to use a heat sealer continuously. It gives you the best of both worlds: a strong, reliable seal for the first use, and an easy, resealable top for daily access.

If you want the longest storage life, you should utilize the heat-sealable area above the zipper. If you heat seal the 5 Gallon Mylar Bags with a household iron or heat sealer, it creates a permanent airtight seal. This is the best way to get the longest life out of your mylar resealable bags and to ensure that your product will be protected for the years to come. The tear notches make it easy to open when it’s time to get into the bag.

Built for Strength and Durability

A 5-gallon bag has to be strong enough to hold a significant amount of weight. Our mylar resealable bags are manufactured with thick, durable material that resists punctures and tears. We realize things get moved somewhat when they are in storage. A layer of protection comes when you place the bags in a rigid container—like a plastic bucket. The combination of bag and a rigid container gives you the greatest defense against rodents, bugs, or physical damage. Whatever you place in our bags—grains, pasta, or sugar—they will not disintegrate.

Your Brand on the Bag

Packaging is used for more than just durable storage. People can use packaging to brand their name. We can help transform your storage bags into an extension of your marketing efforts! By using our brand's custom printing, you can get 5 gallon mylar storage bags with your logo, product info, or a custom design printed on the bag itself. This is a clever solution for businesses that offer bulk products, including coffee, grains, and pet food, to provide a branded consumer package. A branded bag can also help you identify the product without having to break the vacuum seal.

With custom printing, you have the opportunity to distinguish yourself from your competition. We can help your design pop with a total range of colors and the highest possible quality finishes. We can print a basic, clean logo or provide a full-color image- it's your decision.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I have been working with several companies - trying to nail down a box size and type for my organic tea business. Chris Martin was the ONLY rep in all of the companies I reached out to who was responsive, helpful, and walked me through the entire process. It was an absolute pleasure to give my small business dollars to Plus Printers! I will provide another review after I receive my custom product!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Chris Martin was so helpful and responsive! We needed custom folders made and looked at various different companies, but Plus Printers ended up offering the best quality and price. This was our first time ordering, but Chris guided us through every step and even sent us videos of sample folders and mockups of our final product so we could proceed with confidence. Thank you Chris and Plus Printers, we will definitely re-order when we run out of this batch.

We are very pleased with our packaging design! It was great working with Steven, I almost didn't work with Plus Printers because of their pricing but Steven went out of his way to try and negotiate prices with the sales department to fit our budget and offered us more budget-friendly packaging options as alternatives. Very responsive to my emails and made sure that our designs were how we wanted them! I look forward to working with them again soon!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

wonderful service from a company that went beyond expectation to help my project get up and running smoothly. My sales rep, Paul, and the design team at Plus Printers made sure to have every detail in place and gave me a quote other companies could not touch! Lead times were accurate and updates for shipping were by far the most stellar i have yet to see. Thanks a milion!
