Mylar bags are a type of flexible packaging commonly used for storing and preserving various products. Mylar is a brand name for a type of polyester film known for its durability, high tensile strength, and excellent barrier properties. Mylar bags are often used for food packaging, particularly in the storage of dry goods, snacks, and other perishable or non-perishable items.

1.                 Material:

·        Mylar bags are made from a polyester film that is metalized with aluminum. This combination of materials provides the bags with excellent barrier properties against moisture, light, and oxygen, helping to extend the shelf life of the contents.

·        Resealable Options: Some Mylar bags come with resealable features, such as zip locks, to allow for easy access and resealing after opening.

·        Opaque: The opaque nature of Mylar helps protect the contents from light, which can be particularly important for light-sensitive products.

3.                 Uses:

·        Food Storage: Mylar bags are commonly used for storing a variety of foods, including dried fruits, nuts, coffee, tea, and other dry goods.

·        Emergency Preparedness: Mylar bags are popular for packaging emergency food supplies due to their ability to provide a barrier against environmental factors.
