The bundle is genius
Saves me from having to purchase bags and oxygen packets separately. We love that the oxygen packets are packaged in sets of 10.

Questions before you seal?
What are Mylar bags?
Mylar bags are multi-layer food storage bags made of polyester film with an inner foil layer. They block light, oxygen and moisture, so dry food stays fresh for years when sealed with an oxygen absorber.
How long can food last in Mylar bags?
Dry foods sealed in Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers can last 10 to 30 years, depending on the food and how cool and dry you store them. White rice and dried beans can reach 25 to 30 years, while white flour lasts about 10 to 15 years.
Do I really need oxygen absorbers?
Yes, for most dry foods. Oxygen absorbers remove the oxygen left inside the bag, which stops pests, mold and staleness. Without one, food won't last nearly as long, even in a high-quality Mylar bag. Skip them for sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda, which keep fine without them and can clump.
How many oxygen absorbers do I need per Mylar bag?
It depends on the bag size and the food. A 1-gallon Mylar bag usually needs one 300 to 500cc oxygen absorber, and a 5-gallon bag needs about 2,000 to 2,500cc in total. Use the higher amount for airy foods like pasta and the lower amount for dense foods like rice or flour.
What size Mylar bags should I buy?
Most people use 1-gallon bags for everyday staples and smaller batches, and 5-gallon bags for bulk rice, beans and flour stored in buckets. Smaller sizes, down to 1-cup pouches, work well for spices, herbs and single meals, so you only open what you need.
How do I seal Mylar bags at home?
Fill the bag, add an oxygen absorber, press out the extra air, then run a hot clothes iron, hair straightener or impulse heat sealer across the top for a few seconds until the layers fuse. Check that the seal is smooth and unbroken all the way across.
What foods should not be stored in Mylar bags?
Don't store foods high in moisture or fat, like fresh produce, meat, cheese, butter, nuts, soft dried fruit, brown rice and whole wheat flour. They can spoil, go rancid or grow harmful bacteria in a sealed, low-oxygen bag. Mylar works best for dry foods under 10% moisture.
