(50) 1-Gallon Genuine Mylar Bag and (60) 300cc Oxygen Absorbers for Long Term Food Storage

Item as described. Oxygen absorbers came sealed tight.

These bags worked just as I hoped they would.The bags arrived in a stack folded in half inside a plastic bag, no wrinkles or creases were observed. The oxygen absorbers were packed in two vacuum sealed bags.I used 12 bags with 2 oxygen absorbers per bag to package rice and pasta for long term storage. Each bag was sealed using an iron on the high heat setting, there are plenty of videos on YouTube on how to seal these bags with an iron. After just a couple of hours the oxygen absorbers have caused the bags to pull tight against the contents.I was careful to fill all the bags with dry goods prior to opening the oxygen absorbers and made an effort to minimize air in the foil bags before sealing them. The oxygen absorbers start absorbing oxygen immediately, so have a small glass jar handy to seal any that will not be immediately used.

Food storage made easy. This is my first time using Mylar bags and oxygen absorbers for long term storage of foods. They came packaged so well that I was impressed immediately with the company. I have put up 20# of rice so far and plan do continue storing more food week by week. I used an clothes iron as they suggested to seal the bags and it worked perfectly. I am keeping my labels sealed bags in new labeled 5 Gal containers. Speaking for myself, having stored food helps my peace of mind to endure a major weather or other catastrophic event.

It was my first time using mylar bags aND 02 absorbers.....but I watched a ton of videos. I wanted long term food storage for my dehydrated food intend of vacuum sealed food saver bags and vacuum sealed mason jars. I thought blocking the light would preserve the food longer and take up less shelf space than jars. Only 7 out of 18 used bags actually appear to vacuum packed. I re-checked packages and gave them additional time for 02 absorbers to work. Finally, I opened up a few and added more aborbsers, some of the 1 gallon bags have 5 -300cc absorbers then I re-sealed....nothing happened. I see no visible pin holes in bag and ironed the seals perfectly. So either the bags are defective or the aborbsers are. By the way I checked the government food storage recommendation for the number of absorbers for each type of food stored. I followed all instructions for the product and worked quickly to avoid exposure of the absorbers.

First time using any form of mylar bags for food storage and I am very pleased with the quality! The bags were thicker feeling than I expected, and sealed up perfectly when heated between an iron and an aluminum level. The 60 oxygen absorbers came in 3x20 packs. I have used 40 bags so far and all 40 oxygen absorbers have worked perfectly with none failing. I just try to do my preps when I am going to use 20 bags so that I only need to open one bag of 20 oxygen absorbers and not have to worry about resealing them. Push out as much oxygen from the bags before sealing them and then give a full 24 hours before you judge the effectiveness of the oxygen absorbers. If you put them in and expect to see a vacuum seal immediately, it is like watching your hand grow. I will be ordering again!
