Preserve Freshness & Extend Shelf Life

Food storage is among the most vital considerations for restaurants, bakeries, coffee shops and other food businesses. The freshness of the product is key to the customer, the reputation of the business and ultimately its profit. Standard packaging provides a level of protection but a food mylar bag offers advanced technology to preserve the integrity of the product for long periods of time. Insight into why professional food businesses utilize mylar bags fills us in on protecting our product and delivering the customer service they require.

Understanding Food Mylar Bags

What Are Food Mylar Bags?

Food mylar bags are engineered with multi-layer material created to provide good protection from external elements. It is a mixture of polyester film, aluminum foil and polyethylene which forms a barrier of protection against oxygen, light, moisture and outside pollutants. Food degrades faster when exposed to oxygen, moisture and light. Mylar bags provide barrier environments that can effectively retard the deterioration processes. Food product stored in quality mylar bags will retain freshness, flavor, aroma and nutritional quality much longer than other techniques. This capability is a core business requirement not a luxury.

Why Food Mylar Bags Matter

Superior Product Protection

The aluminum layer is impervious to oxygen and light; the polyester layer maintains shape of package; the polyethylene is a water barrier. Preventing oxidation and deterioration are the main factors of speeding up a food's decay. Product in standard package will lose aromatic compounds within weeks. The same product will maintain aroma and flavor for months in food mylar bags. This perception of the best freshness customers need will be translated into a good image of the best quality - which can be charged at a premium price.

Extended Shelf Life & Cost Savings

Shelf life extension costs directly increases profit. Items that have 6 months shelf life, of 2-3 months will eliminate some waste and maximize usage turnover efficiency; it will also allow for better pricing strategies. Retail stores can stock for longer periods; wholesalers can sell to remote venues.

Brand Reputation Protection

Customers rely on consistent quality. Damaged product caused by stale coffee, rancid nuts or discoloured spices destroy reputation in the blink of an eye. Food mylar bags ensure your products remain in good condition, helping to protect your brand and quality promise. A bad product can spread bad reviews of thousands through social media, and prevents cost orders of magnitude more than rebuilding reputation.
