These days, mylar bags have become synonymous with long term food
storage. They are a cornerstone of survival, prepping,
disaster/emergency preparedness, and the nutritional needs of Americans
across all 50 states. When it comes to food storage bags, mylar leads
the charge. It is non-porous, impermeable to gas, light reflective,
flexible, durable, puncture-resistant, affordable, and easy to use. An
ideal choice for homes and small businesses. Sure, you could use other
packaging materials… but they have a greater risk, higher cost, and
simply put, are not nearly as good as mylar.
Choosing the
right set of mylar bags for your home or business is what really proves
to be the challenge. After all, it’s important to have a range of
different bag sizes capable of storing a variety of common foods, or
merchandise.
At PRILUX we
take pride in handling the hard work for you. As a family of experienced
long-term food storers and meal prep packagers, we’ve tried every bag
