5 Gallon (18"x28") ShieldPro 5 Mil Zip Seal Mylar Bag for Long Term Food Storage - 10 Pack

I bought many sets of these bags for work in order to store food samples in the deep freezer for an extended period of time. Some of the samples have been in the freezer for over 1 year now and are still in the same condition as day one. The ziplock/zippers have never failed and I'm always able to properly close the bags so the food doesn't get freezer burn. The bags have worked so well that I've reordered on multiple occasions and gotten various sizes. These are very high quality. I was able to store >15lb of food in each.

I purchased these to store dehydrated foods in 5-gallon food grade buckets with oxygen absorbers. Bags tower over the height of the bucket and had to be scrunched down to fit inside. However, this is not a complaint, just an observation. Bags are extremely sturdy and have stood up to handling (opening, closing, multiple times). They will hold a LOT of food, and do not have to be placed in buckets. They are strong enough to stand upright or store flat. Don't see myself needing to purchase this size in the near future, because they are so large. But I'll definitely invest in smaller sizes, to have a variety.

These are RESEALABLE, and when used with a 2 or 3 2000cc O2 absorbers work really well in a 5 gal bucket. I use mine for things like flour. Buy these in combination with "2000cc Oxygen Absorbers Individually-Sealed for Long Term Food Storage - PackFreshUSA". Other O2 absorbers have been a complete waste of money - I mean 50+ dollars in garbage product that is vacuum sealed to make them look like they absorb oxygen, but they don't, at all. These O2 absorbers are individually packaged, and won't ruin the entire product when you need just one or two. A good combination.

Do not purchase. As others have stated, pinholes in every bag. Not sure if they can be salvaged-- not happy with purchase. Returning unused bags.

As advertised. I love the ziplock seal. I use a nitrogen purge plus oxygen absorbers and the ziplock seal makes it so much easier to handle a full bag when heat sealing. Plus when you need to open it, you can re-close the bag and not worry about bugs or junk getting inside the food. Highly recommend them.

Its thickness was adequate and seems to do the job intended, flexibility and durability seem fine but perhaps you should ask again sometime in the future

Heavy duty, good seal, won't lose moisture, does everything it should.Just like unfolding a tarp, probably best not to kink it.

Purchase a 5 gallon sealable container and line it with these Mylar bags to store your dog food. Replace after every 2-3 bags of dog food so the oils that leach out from the food do not go rancid. Without this lining you have to spend an exorbitant amount of time washing the containers every month or so...and the new food gets tainted by the old rancid left over oils if you don't. This is the reason why your dogs may only like their food for the first day or two after opening a new bag, then backs away thereafter - tell tale sign that your new food is being contaminated. Use these liners and swap them out instead. The amount you save on previously wasted food will pay for these in a matter of days.

The 5 gallon zip lock bags worked out great.

a smart seller would read all the reviews complaining about the 'pinholes' which are actually creases. They should start rolling them instead of folding them when shipping. Preppers are spending a lot of money for food and they dont want their food to spoil because those creases may let air inside.
