In the food processing area, these bags are known as oxygen barrier bags. Many people refer to them as Mylar® Foil bags because the outer layer of the bag is Mylar® Foil, which is a brand name for the Dupont Corporation's polyester film. Our Mylar® Foil bags are 5-layer structures of Mylar® Foil/polyethylene /00035 aluminum foil/adhesive/linear low-density.

The inner layer  is LLDPE (Linear low-density polyethylene).

OXYGEN BARRIER BAGS (Mylar® FOIL BAGS) will greatly increase the shelf stability of your food products. Polyethylene pails are not a true oxygen barrier by themselves. The oxygen transmission rate is critical. (OTR) for example, our bags have a transmission rate of 0.001 cc's of oxygen per square meter per 24 hours. A clear mylar®/poly bag is 0.5 cc's/ square meter/ 24 hours, or 500 (FIVE HUNDRED!) times greater.

WARNING: Some companies and people will try to tell you that clear "FOODSAVER" bags are good for long term storage. THEY ARE NOT.

We recommend our Two Cup and Quart Mylar bags for your storage (1-5 years) and for your snacking pleasure. Most customers that purchase these "gold" pouches intend for the product to be continuously used and consumed over a short time: 1-5 years.

How do I know if I have the right type of MylarFoil™ bags?

This is an extremely good question. The Mylar® foil bags that are used for long-term food storage, they were originally designed for exporting Macadamia nuts in bulk. This bag is 4.5 mils thick and appears to look like aluminum foil. Although the Mylar® foil layer is transparent, long-term food storage bags are NEVER transparent. Another type of Mylar® Foil with which many consumers are familiar is the "Mylar® Foil balloon" that is often sold at supermarkets for birthdays and other occasions. The industrial name for the Mylar® Foil balloon material is metalized polyester. This is product mostly cosmetic and has minimal oxygen barrier properties.

Any concerned individual should be very wary of an organization trying to promote "transparent" barrier bags or the shiny metalized polyester material as a food storage bag. Long-term food storage should never be one of them and as a consumer you have the right to a fraud claim if you have received such information.(One good example to watch for is the US Military MRE products. The packaging material used to produce the MREs has a very high oxygen barrier. Often they will specify nylon as the outside layer of the material instead of polyester (Mylar® foil) due to its stronger puncture resistance and oxygen barrier properties.) Most of all you will never see a simple Mylar® Foil (transparent) structure or shiny Mylar® Foil (metalized polyester) structure used for an MRE.

Suggestions

A bigger mylar bag...seal-top part. Otherwise one would have to put the unsealed bag into a new mylar bag. Are these bags vacum sealer friendly? By the way, I'm just going by product filled bags that I have ordered in the past, not. empty bags.

That's for your suggestions. We do have really big Mylar bags. What size are you talking of? Yes, the bags are vacuum sealer friendly.

Mylar bags with zip closure

Poor quality. Bags had to be zipped back and forth several times to seal. At least two zip pieces fell off when trying to seal. At least one bag was missing zip piece. After using 1/3 of bags, I gave up and will order from a different company. Disappointed as I expected a higher quality from Mother Earth.

Hi, Diane:
Thank you for letting us know; however, we would have liked to have known this earlier via our customer service email (along with photos), that way we could make it right and let our bag supplier know so we could get replacements. We do have a policy about this, and would have liked the opportunity to make it right and retain your customer-ship.

Improvements: I either missed or didn’t see, where it is written that it is a ziplock Mylar bag. It would help if you wrote that in the comments; if you did, disregard this….. thanks ; )
Review on Quart Bags:

The only difference which I was unaware of, between these bags and the standard Mylar bags, is the top part. This is my first time receiving and using zip-lock Mylar bags and what I found of the pros and cons:

A good thing is that unlike standard Mylar bags, it zips right across the top so you know that it is completely shut so no air is coming in. But, I don’t know that much about zipping to say how air safe it is (without double sealing) and better or worse then standard bags. As for double sealing, I don’t see how one could double seal (using a hot sealer) like a standard Mylar; however, I taped it together at the top (where the zipper is) and put an air sealer in, making sure it is fully sealed.

What I like about this is, if I need to open it up either to add more, take some out, or add something else, it’s not heat compressed so it won’t ruin a whole bag but be resuseable.

Hey, Shannon! Thanks for your review. We do state in the actual description that it is a Zip Pouch. :)
