5 Gallon Mylar Bags

What are 5 Gallon Mylar Bags used for?

5 Gallon Mylar Bags are designed for bulk storage of food items and other goods that need long-term protection. They work exceptionally well for storing grains, rice, beans, flour, dried fruits, and emergency food supplies. Businesses also use them for storing coffee, tea, spices, and other perishable items. The bags protect contents from moisture, oxygen, and light, which are the main causes of deterioration. This makes them ideal for both household and commercial applications where shelf life matters.

How do I determine what size mylar bag I need?

First, calculate how much you need to store. One gallon holds approximately 4-5 pounds of grains or flour. A 5 gallon bag holds roughly 20-25 pounds depending on the item’s density. If you’re unsure, our team can help you calculate the right quantity. Consider your available storage space and how frequently you’ll access the items. We also offer custom sizes if standard options don’t meet your needs exactly.

Are 5 Gallon Mylar Bags safe for food storage?

Yes, absolutely. Our 5 gallon mylar bags for food storage are made from FDA-approved materials that are safe for direct food contact. They are BPA-free and ISO certified for quality assurance. Every bag meets strict safety standards before it leaves our facility. You can confidently store anything from grains to spices knowing your food items are protected and safe.

What coating and finish options are available?

We offer three primary coating options to customize your bags. Gloss finish provides a shiny, vibrant appearance that catches light and draws attention. Matte finish offers a sophisticated, subtle look that appeals to premium brands. Spot UV creates selective high-gloss accents on specific design elements for dramatic effect. Each finish changes how your bags look and feel on the shelf. Choose the option that best matches your brand identity.

Can I customize the size and design of my bags?

Completely. We don’t limit you to standard dimensions. If you need a size other than our typical offerings, we can create it. Our custom size options ensure a perfect fit for your specific needs. For design, you can add full-color printing, logos, taglines, and custom artwork. Our free design service means our team works with you to create exactly what you envision without additional charges.

How many colors can I print on my bags?

We offer up to 9 color printing options for your custom designs. Full-color printing is also available if you want photographic or complex artwork. Our printing technology captures vibrant colors and fine details. Whether you need simple logos or intricate designs, we can deliver professional results that represent your brand accurately.

What is the minimum order quantity for 5 gallon mylar bags?

Our minimum order quantity depends on your customization level and specific requirements. We work with orders ranging from small batches for testing purposes to large wholesale quantities of 500,000+ units. Higher volumes qualify for better wholesale rates, so contact us for a personalized quote based on your order size. We believe in flexible ordering to meet businesses of all sizes.

How long does it take to receive my order?

Our standard turnaround time is 7-14 days depending on the size and level of customization required. Most customers receive their bags within two weeks of order approval. We communicate timelines upfront so you know exactly when to expect delivery. If you need bags urgently, rush options are available to meet tight deadlines.

Do you offer free design services?

Can I request a sample before ordering in bulk?

Absolutely. We offer free samples upon request so you can see and feel the actual product quality before committing to a large order. You can request a digital proof to review the design online, or order a physical sample to examine the material, printing, and finish in person. This helps you make confident decisions about your bulk purchase.

What sealing options do you provide?

We offer three sealing options to meet different needs. Standard heat-sealed closure creates a permanent seal ideal for long-term storage where you won’t need to reopen the bag. Ziplock options allow resealing for convenience if you need repeated access. Tear notch feature enables controlled opening without requiring tools. Choose the closure type that best fits your storage and usage requirements.

Can these bags be used for non-food items?

Yes, while they excel at food storage, 5 gallon mylar bags work for many other applications. They’re used for storing electronics, medications, important documents, and other items sensitive to moisture and light. The oxygen barrier and light protection make them suitable for anything that needs preservation. Some businesses use them for storing dry goods, supplements, pet food, and crafting materials.

How long can items stay fresh in these bags?

With proper storage conditions, most dried goods last 5 years or longer in mylar bags. Grains, beans, and rice often remain viable for 10+ years or even longer. The exact shelf life depends on several factors including initial moisture content, storage temperature, and the specific item being stored. Cooler, consistent temperatures extend shelf life even further. Many customers report excellent condition even after 15+ years of storage.

Are the bags recyclable?

Our mylar bags are recyclable, which reduces waste compared to disposable containers. We also offer environmentally friendly options for customers who prioritize sustainability. Ask about our eco-friendly coating and material choices that reduce environmental impact. We believe in providing quality products while caring for the planet.

Can I order different designs in a single shipment?

Yes, we can split your order across multiple designs or variations. This is perfect if you’re running different campaigns or want to test different designs. You can mix and match designs within your total order quantity. This flexibility allows you to meet diverse marketing needs with a single production run.

Do you offer wholesale pricing for large orders?

Absolutely. The larger your order volume, the better your per-unit pricing becomes. We pass bulk savings directly to you through our wholesale rates. Contact our team with your order specifications, and we’ll provide a personalized quote reflecting your volume discount. We work with your budget to find solutions that make business sense for your operation.
