I hope you may consider giving us a look at Discount Mylar Bags. When considering shipping, we are competitive or below most sellers on the net. If not, drop us a line and we'll beat any competitor's price on similar quantities.=)

Very nice site you have here! Sorry to pop in at random, but I try to keep up with preparedness folks on the net talking about food storage. My wife and I are modest preppers and shooters, though we only have one AR-15 in the family.=)
When using an iron to seal Mylar, our manufacturers recommend the wool setting for most bags between 3.5 and 5 mils. (Most bags from the survival prep sites will seal at between 275 and 350 degrees)
Thanks!
Well, I like the 1 gal bags with oxygen absorbers, its like a starter pack. Thanks
I have one of those Food Saver's, I wonder if that would seal Mylar?
Good question-I've been wondering the same thing [Beer]Quote:

As long as it is not too thick. Foodsaver sealers are just like any other but are non adjustable. If the link makes it adjustable then they will work.
I have a 12" rebuilt sealer with extras if someone wants it.
Drop me a PM. It will do 24" bags one side at a time.
Also understand that the non commercial sealers will go through the teflon/fiberglass covers quick.
Mylar party in a couple of weeks?
Is that like a Tupperware party but the manly-men version of it?Quote:
