What are Mylar Vacuum Seal Bags?
Mylar vacuum seal bags are bags that are made of Mylar material or another vacuum seal barrier material. Mylar is a high-performance, strong, and durable material. As a type of polyester film, Mylar is laminated with layers of foil and one or two other materials, which allows the bag to not only be puncture-resistant but also offers a significant barrier to oxygen, moisture, and light. Mylar includes a vacuum sealing system to pull all the air out and seal the contents, eliminating the oxygen, which greatly reduces the degradation of what is being stored.
Vacuum-sealed freeze dry bags are useful for both long-term storage and temporary use, offering a great option to store dry goods, perishables, pharmaceuticals, and other items. When properly sealed, Mylar vacuum bags also eliminate freezer burn, mold, and contamination, making them a common choice for emergency rations, prepper supplies, food storage, and retail packaging.
Mylar Materials Used for Vacuum Seal Bags
Our expert categorizes Mylar materials according to their durability, flexibility, and protective functionalities. These features make it a great choice for vacuum sealing. Our vacuum seal mylar bags are pretty popular in food packaging, pharmaceuticals, retail packaging, and in guardian supplies & emergency preparation.
Mylar films can come in many different densities and constructions, and at Plus Printers, we have a variety of Mylar materials intended to provide the very best packaging for your products. Each material offers different advantages based on its thickness and density (like strength and puncture resistance), among other things, so you can determine the right Mylar product for you.
Different Densities or Constructions of Mylar Materials
1. Standard Mylar (2-4 mil)
This is the most common option for Mylar material and provides a balance between flexibility and durability. When you need to create barrier packaging for food, moisture, and oxygen are its most important characteristics. Depending on the project, the thickness of standard Mylar could be suitable for lightweight general storage (2-4 mil).
2. Heavy-Duty Mylar (5-7 mil)
For projects that call for additional sturdiness, heavy-duty Mylar is the choice to make. It comes in a thickness of 5-7 mil, meaning it will be puncture-resistant and will be an even better barrier to moisture, air, and light. Heavy-duty Mylar is great for items needing to be secured during long-term storage.
3. Ultra-Durable Mylar (8-10 mil)
Ultra-durable Mylar can withstand a lot of usage. It is available in a thickness of 8-10 mil, making it perfect for packaging valuable items like electronics, pharmaceuticals, and medical supplies. Extra durability will ensure a long-lasting, tamper-evident seal, in addition to maximum protection.
4. Co-Extruded Mylar
Co-extruded Mylar has multiple layers of materials that have been fused. This not only increases barrier protection, but it will also help strengthen and puncture resistance in the standup pouches. Co-extruded Mylar is very commonly used in food packaging and pharmaceuticals because it is oxygen-proof and moisture-resistant to help preserve the quality of the packaging materials and the products, keeping contents fresh and safe from these gases.
5. Laminated Mylar
Laminated Mylar is a combination of Mylar and a layer of some functional layer that is bonded together, usually foil or plastic, while providing improved strength and protection to the inner Mylar liner. This multi-layer construction is suitable for high-performance packaging.
A high-performance manufacturer will offer strong barrier protection against oxygen, moisture, and light, making it ideal for long-term applications and storage.
6. Foil-Lined Mylar
Foil-lined Mylar employs a layer of aluminum foil to create an airtight seal to protect contents from oxygen, moisture, and any ultraviolet rays. Foil-lined Mylar is an excellent means to package dry foods, snacks, and emergency survival rations while seeking to maintain freshness and flavor over long periods of time.
7. Food grade Mylar
Food-grade Mylar is designed specifically for food packaging like custom spout pouches with statutes to ensure the health and safety of pertinent regulations are satisfied. This construct makes sure your food products are fresh, safe, and secure from the possibility of contamination of your products. Food grade is both FDA-approved and BPA-free, giving confidence to food manufacturers and consumers.
8. Recyclable Mylar
Recyclable Mylar is a sustainable means for organizations looking for an eco-friendly means to reduce their carbon footprint. Recyclable Mylar still has all the protective advantages associated with regular Mylar and offers increased recyclability. It is appropriate for those companies looking to help the planet with reduced manufacturing waste, yet not compromise product quality or safety.

How Vacuum Sealing Works
Mylar bags are sealed by placing the item in the bag, sucking out all excess air using a vacuum sealer, and then heat sealing the bag. Therefore, you have an airtight environment for the contents of the bag, which keeps them safe from oxygen, moisture, and other contaminants.
Vacuum sealing is a common practice used in the food industry to extend shelf life. Dry goods such as rice, pasta, and grain can be vacuum sealed to create an airtight environment. Vacuum sealing food can also be used for perishable items, such as meat, poultry, and fish. Vacuum sealing is also useful for freeze-dried products, emergency rations, etc. For anything that requires long-term storage, vacuum sealing should be your first choice.
Benefits of Vacuum Sealing Mylar Bags
We make the best vacuum sealing Mylar bags that offer the following benefits:
Extended Shelf Life:
Under-Aeration Means Less Spoilage: The act of vacuum sealing abandons air and, thus, acts to slow down oxidation and reduce spoiling; therefore, shelf life is extended. This is extremely important when it comes to food, herbs and spices, and freeze-dried products.
Maintains Freshness, Taste, and Odor:
Mylar vacuum-sealing bags provide an oxygen barrier; hence, these keep the textures, flavors, and odors of products intact. Keeping vacuum-sealed bags of coffee, tea, or dried botanicals will keep them fresher longer.
Barrier to Bacteria, Mold, and Other Contaminants:
Protect against contaminants, including bacteria and mold. Mylar vacuum bags ensure safety for use and consumption.
