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.

Various Styles and Types of Vacuum Sealed Mylar Bags

We can offer Mylar vacuum seal bags in many styles and sizes to meet your needs. The bags can be customized to meet your specifications, including custom sizes, custom shapes, and custom print.

1. Standup Pouches:

Standup pouches are a popular option for custom mylar bags, because they are stable and allow for easy display upright. Standup pouches can have tear notches, zippers, or spouts for convenience. Stand-up pouches are an attractive and functional bag option for packaging coffee, snacks, and dried foods. 

2. Flat Bags:

Flat Mylar bags are the perfect solution for products that need a more compact and economical packaging solution. These bags are the ideal solution for a smaller product like herbs, spices or supplements. You can order these in custom sizes and finishes, including lamination or foil stamping, which can upgrade the bag to a more premium appearance. 

3. Gusseted Bags: 

Gusseted Mylar bags are designed with additional space along the sides to allow for larger volumes of products. These bags expand when they are filled, which adds additional space for volumes of products like grains, snacks, or pharmaceuticals. Gusseted bags are a perfect option for packaging products needing additional space and an airtight seal. 

4. Spout Pouches: 

Spout pouches are a new and innovative option for liquid products like oils, creams, and beverages. The spout advantage allows for easy pouring, which makes these pouches especially useful for the cosmetics, food, or beverage industries. Custom spout pouches can be sealed with a vacuum pack for maximum protection and shelf life features.

Our custom Mylar bags can come with full-color printing and the option to customize your branding, logo, and all product information, as we use both CMYK and PMS.

Features of Vacuum Sealed Mylar Bags

Mylar vacuum seal bags have a multitude of benefits, which is why they make a great packaging choice for varied product offerings. Here are some of their nice features:

  • Airtight Seal: Mylar vacuum seal bags create a vacuum-sealed, airtight closure that keeps products protected from oxygen, moisture, and contaminants. 
  • Oxygen-Proof / Moisture Resistant: Mylar bags are oxygen-proof and will keep your products from spoiling, mold, or degrading. Hylar can also resist moisture to protect food products from humidity.
  • Light-Blocking: Mylar blocks UV light, which can degrade some items like coffee, tea, and/or dried herbs, extending shelf life.
  • Puncture-Resistant: Mylar is puncture-resistant, made from durable, high-quality material.
  • Tamper-Evident: Our vacuum-sealed Mylar bags are tamper-proof, so you can be confident that your products arrive safely during shipment and storage.   
  • FDA Approved & Food Safe: All of our Mylar vacuum seal bags are made from materials that are food safe and FDA approved for food storage.  

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.

Saves Space - 

Easy to Handle and Store: Since these vacuum-sealed bags are compact, they require less storage. Applications include home storage, emergency rations, and bulk storage for retailers. 

Green Packaging - 

Reusable, Recyclable, and Biodegradable: Mylar vacuum seal bags are products that are sustainable and support businesses to cut down on their carbon footprint.

Applications for Mylar Vacuum Seal Bags

There are various industries and applications of sealing Mylar vacuum bags, including:

    • Food Storage: Best suited for storing dry goods, perishables, freeze-dried products, and snacks.
    • Pharmaceutical Packaging: To be used for keeping medical equipment, supplements, vitamins, etc.
    • Retail Display: To package products like cosmetics, consumer electronics, and textiles, which can be custom printed and branded.

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!
