Food Grade, Reusable & Recyclable:
Our Mylar bags are food grade, BPA free, reusable and recyclable. Easy to open with a tear tab, a zip top for multiple closing and reopening.
Mylar bags are 3 layers thick with aluminium in the middle layer. They are BPA free, extremely strong, puncture resistant yet feel thin and flexible. They are a good barrier from air, moisture, mould, vapour, odours and light.
Our mylar bags have been tested for food safety and comply with FDA food grade safety standards and are also BPA free. 4.5 Mil each side and made with three layers, comprising PET on the outside for strength, aluminium in the middle and PE on the inside enabling the bag to be sealed.
Longer Term Food Storage
Sealing Is Easy:
Always use an oxygen absorber inside your bag adding it just before sealing. Push the air out of the bag and seal it using a heat sealer, vacuum sealer on high setting (seal function), iron or your hair straightener!
Bag Size:
Here is the approximate volume for this bag size allowing for the lost space at the top seal.
Stand Up Pouch Bag 10cm x 15cm x 5cm= ½ Pint / 0.6 Litres
Oxygen Absorbers:
When working out how many oxygen absorbers needed in a bag remember to take into account the amount of food/product inside the bag. The space left inside the bag contains the amount of oxygen to be removed. Or you could simply just use an oxygen absorber the size for the total volume of the bag. This way the calculation is easy and it is always better to have a bigger amount of oxygen absorption than needed.
We recommend using food grade iron oxide oxygen absorbers also known as deoxidisers inside mylar bags for long term storage. Iron oxide oxygen absorbers remove oxygen from inside the bag to prevent the growth of aerobic micro organisms, mould, bacteria and fungi prolonging shelf life. Different cc ratings for different sized bags or food types are recommended.
How Many Oxygen Absorbers Do I Need?
When using oxygen absorbers they will remove 21% of the air inside the bag or container. This is because the absorbers only remove the oxygen (O2) which is about 21% of air.
The general formula for cubic centremetre of oxygen absorption required is:
Container volume – food volume = residual air volume
Residual air volume x 0.21 (because air is 21% oxygen) = oxygen absorber size needed
It is okay to exceed the size of oxygen absorber needed and its better to err on the safe side and use more.
Conversions:
1cc = 1ml
1000ml = 1 litre
3.78 litres = 1 gallon
Our Oxygen Absorbers are made by Dorency. They contain Iron Powder and have an oxygen absorption capacity 3 times more than the cc rating.
NOTE: Not all dried food converts from litres to the same amount of grams. Conversion depends on food density as various foods have different density. If you google search how to convert dried food from litres to grams for storage this will give you an idea.
It is important to have more oxygen absorption than not quite or only just enough to make sure your food is protected. You dont want to come back later to find its not worked properly and you have wasted your time, energy, money and food! Always err on having more than less is a good way to do it.
