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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I seal these Mylar bags? −\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre these bags reusable? −\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat can I store in these bags? − \u003c\/strong\u003eThese bags are perfect for storing any dry goods, especially freeze-dried or dehydrated foods.
