50-Pack

You've perfected the art of freeze-drying, preserving the flavor and nutrition of your favorite foods. But what's the final step to guarantee that freshness lasts for years? The answer is uncompromising storage. These official 8" x 12" Mylar Bags from Harvest Right are engineered specifically to protect your investment, creating the perfect barrier against the elements that degrade food over time.

Designed for long-term preservation, these heavy-duty bags block both oxygen and light, two of the biggest enemies of stored food. When paired with oxygen absorbers, they create an ideal anaerobic environment that can extend the shelf life of your freeze-dried goods for up to 25 years. This generous 50-pack provides the perfect storage solution for everything from single-ingredient snacks to complete meals, making them an essential part of any home preservation setup and one of the most crucial freeze dryer accessories.

🔥 Heat Sealable Designed for a perfect, airtight seal with the Harvest Right Impulse Sealer for maximum protection.

Do I need an oxygen absorber with these bags? − Yes, for long-term storage (over a few months), it is highly recommended to add an appropriately sized oxygen absorber to each bag before sealing. This removes residual oxygen, preventing oxidation and preserving the food's quality, color, and flavor for up to 25 years. We offer a compatible 50-pack of oxygen absorbers.

How do I seal these Mylar bags? − These bags are designed to be sealed with a heat impulse sealer. For a guaranteed perfect seal, we recommend using the Harvest Right 12″ Impulse Sealer. A standard household iron can also be used on a high setting (without steam), but an impulse sealer provides a more reliable and consistent seal.

Are these bags reusable? − Mylar bags are generally considered single-use for long-term storage because they must be cut open. However, if you make the initial seal near the very top of the bag, you can cut it open just below the seal, remove some contents, and then clean, dry, and reseal the bag for shorter-term use.

What can I store in these bags? − These bags are perfect for storing any dry goods, especially freeze-dried or dehydrated foods. This includes fruits, vegetables, meats, full meals, coffee, grains, and powders. They are the final, crucial step after using a Harvest Right freeze dryer.

Are there other sizes of Mylar bags available? − Yes, Harvest Right offers various sizes to suit different needs. We also carry larger 10" x 14" Mylar bags for bulk items and smaller 6" x 9.75" resealable bags for snacks and smaller portions.
