Mylar Bags for Freeze Drying

Mylar bags from Custom Packaging UK are a super important supply if you're getting into freeze drying food. Freeze drying is a neat process that removes almost all the water from food, making it last a super long time. Think astronaut ice cream that doesn't need to be refrigerated. To keep your freeze dried food good, you need to protect it from air, moisture, and light. That's where our mylar bags come in handy. What are Mylar Bags? Mylar is a special kind of plastic. It's really strong and doesn't let air or moisture pass through it easily. Imagine it as a superhero shield for your snacks. Regular plastic bags let air and water vapor sneak in, which can make your freeze dried food spoil. Mylar bags block these bad guys, keeping your food fresh and tasty for months, or even years! Why Use Mylar Bags for Freeze Dried Food? Freeze dried food is like a sponge. It's super thirsty and wants to suck up any moisture it can find. If moisture gets in, your food will become soggy and lose its crunch. It can also lead to mold or bacteria growing, which is definitely something you want to avoid. Mylar bags create a barrier that keeps the moisture out, protecting your hard work in the freeze dryer. Light is another enemy of freeze dried food. It can cause changes in the color, flavor, and nutrients of your food. Some mylar bags are even made with a special layer of metal inside that blocks light completely. This extra protection ensures that your food stays in tip top shape. Our Mylar Bags: Features and Benefits Custom Packaging UK offers mylar bags that are designed specifically for freeze dried food. Our bags are made from thick, high quality mylar. This means they are extra strong and durable, so they won't tear easily. No one wants a bag of freeze dried strawberries exploding in their pantry! We also offer bags in different sizes. Whether you are storing small snacks or large meals, we have a bag that will fit your needs. Choosing the right size bag is important because you want to minimize the amount of air inside. Too much air can still cause problems, even with mylar. Many of our bags are heat sealable. This means you can use a special machine (a heat sealer) to create an airtight closure. An airtight seal is the best way to keep air and moisture out. Some of our bags also come with resealable zippers, which are great if you want to open and close the bag multiple times. Our mylar bags are food safe. This means they are made from materials that won't contaminate your food. You can be confident that your food is safe to eat when stored in our bags. How to Use Mylar Bags with Freeze Dried Food Using mylar bags is easy. First, make sure your freeze dried food is completely cool before you put it in the bag. Warm food can create condensation inside the bag, which is exactly what you are trying to avoid. Next, fill the bag with your freeze dried food, leaving a little bit of space at the top. If you are using a heat sealer, follow the instructions that came with your machine to seal the bag. If you are using a bag with a zipper, make sure the zipper is tightly closed. For extra protection, you can also add an oxygen absorber to the bag before sealing it. Oxygen absorbers remove any remaining oxygen from inside the bag, further preventing spoilage. Once the bag is sealed, label it with the contents and the date. This will help you keep track of what you have and how long it's been stored. Store your sealed bags in a cool, dark, and dry place. A pantry or cupboard is usually a good choice. Why Choose Custom Packaging UK for Mylar Bags? At Custom Packaging UK, we are committed to providing high quality products at reasonable prices.
