Mylar Vacuum Seal 8"x16' or 11"x16' Rolls | SteelPak Textured/Embossed Aluminum Foil Vacuum/Heat Seal Rolls to Create Custom-Sized Vacuum Sealer Bags (2, 8"x16')

I used this with my Nesco V12 vacuum sealer along with oxygen absorbers to prepare dry good foods of various types for my home emergency kit, have used it over a dozen times so far with no issues at all. While a little more expensive, it's more convenient than the non-texture rolls and the mylar material is needed to help maximize potential shelf life of end products.

These are great for dried fruits which I was having issues with puncturing regular bags. My only compliant is that my foodsaver sometimes has issues sucking the air out of these and tries to prematurely seal. I have to listen to the boise the pump is making, interrupt it and readjust the bag before it tries to seal it without sucking all the air out.

So far, these mylar vacuum bags seem to work well. I'm not using for food storage, but for storing FDM 3D printer filament. The mylar should block oxygen and moisture far better than the standard plastic food saver bags. They pulled a vacuum well and no punctures or other issues so far in the 20 bags I've made/used. Other commenters indicate that the square pattern rolls are not that great, so I'm glad to report I received the diamond pattern rolls and they seem to be high quality material and seal together just a good as regular plastic vacuum storage bags. Hopefully I can extend my filament storage time quite a bit before needing to dehydrate the stored filament before use. Would recommends.

I have purchased these rolls at least four or five times. I use them to separate "family pack" purchases into smaller quantities for freezer storage. These bags are much better than the clear bags that come with the name-brand vacuum sealers. I use a 12 inch impulse sealer to make the first seal on these bags. I double seal this first side with a second operation from the 12 inch impulse sealer. I then use my namebrand vacuum sealer to evacuate the air from the bag and make a seal. I then use the impulse sealer two more times to fully seal the bag. I have had no bags leak air using this method, and frozen meats will last a very long time in the freezer without any sign of freezer burn or other deterioration. My only complaint, and the reason for the loss of one star, is that these bags tend to get creases in various places in the bags. When placing in the vacuum sealer, one must be very careful to flatten these creases as they are sometimes large enough to prevent proper air evacuation. Having done several with creases, one will get better at getting a good seal the first attempt, but these creases are sometimes so bad that your initial cut has to be relocated. Even so, I will continue to purchase these bag rolls for the savings I get with their use.

I am using this mylar bag roll with a Nesco VS-12 vacuum sealer. The bags vacuum and seal as advertised (unlike some products.) The vacuum is as strong as any plastic bags I've used. The bags are a little thicker than the plastic bags so I have my sealer on 'double' seal and I double seal that meaning once it's done sealing I just hit the manual seal button again without moving the bag around to make sure it's sealed well. I also the bag a little manually seal it again for extra assurance. So far, they've held for 48 hours. It is unknown if there will be any long term issues with the seals.

I've been saying for years that someone needs to make vacuum sealer compatible mylar bags. I couldn't find any anywhere. I stumbled across these a couple weeks ago. So far, they seem to work great with my lower end Foodsaver machine. They pull a really good vacuum and the sealer works well, which was, apparently, the reason nobody made them before: mylar was too hard to seal without really high temperatures. The material seemed a bit thin, but I've vacuum sealed pasta and other pointy foods and, so far, none of it has punctured the bag. They've held their vacuum for a week now. In my experience with the "old" method of using an iron to seal the bags, if it will hold a vacuum for a few days, it will usually hold it for a long, long time. This makes my long term food storage SO much easier. When everyone is out panic-buying food because of the pandemic, I can sit back and watch while munching on 10-year-old popcorn. UPDATE: It's been over a month now, and the 30 or so bags that I've sealed are all holding. I even ordered more. This stuff is great! Update II: It's been 7 months. Not a single bag has leaked. Time to order more.

I had read many of the reviews here before I took the chance and tried them but after using them I am really impressed with them. I use them with my food savor vacuum sealer and had great results. I have used two rolls of my order thus far and have not had a leaker yet. They have sealed great and I will be buying more in the future. I am a hiker and freeze dry my meals then vacuum seal them with the food savor standard clear plastic but have to always go back and check them for leakers to re-bag and vacuum seal the ones I always find to have leaked air into the bag. But that has not been the case with this product as I have not had a leaker yet. The Mylar material seams to hold up very well and looks to be of good quality. I will buy again.
