The prices here are pretty good.
In the links page I like these guys. http://www.sorbentsystems.com/Originally Posted by rocktot
I have used an iron for the large (5gal sized) bags. Heat/time depends on the thickness of the bag.If you get 18" or less width I will have a party soon.

I hope you may consider giving us a look at Discount Mylar Bags. When considering shipping, we are competitive or below most sellers on the net. If not, drop us a line and we'll beat any competitor's price on similar quantities.=)

Very nice site you have here! Sorry to pop in at random, but I try to keep up with preparedness folks on the net talking about food storage. My wife and I are modest preppers and shooters, though we only have one AR-15 in the family.=)
When using an iron to seal Mylar, our manufacturers recommend the wool setting for most bags between 3.5 and 5 mils. (Most bags from the survival prep sites will seal at between 275 and 350 degrees)
Thanks!

Well, I like the 1 gal bags with oxygen absorbers, its like a starter pack. Thanks
I have one of those Food Saver's, I wonder if that would seal Mylar?

Good question-I've been wondering the same thing
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.
How to seal mylar with a foodsaver:

Mars is entirely inhabited by robots.
As long as it is not too thick. Foodsaver sealers are just like any other but are non adjustable. If the link makes it adjustable then they will work.
I have a 12" rebuilt sealer with extras if someone wants it.
Drop me a PM. It will do 24" bags one side at a time.
Also understand that the non commercial sealers will go through the teflon/fiberglass covers quick.

Is that like a Tupperware party but the manly-men version of it?
