Welcome to IMPAK's comprehensive guide for long term food storage, so you can be prepared for any natural disaster or emergency that comes your way. If you are preparing for the possibility of a food shortage or disaster, IMPAK supplies the necessary materials for long-term food and product storage.
These are general suggestions and may not apply to all applications. If you have different applications or conditions applying to your food storage you may need a more "custom" food storage system. We are glad to answer any questions and help recommend the best storage system for your application.

Mylar bags have revolutionized long-term food storage. They create a barrier between your food and the environment whether that is heat, light, moisture or oxygen. When combined with the necessary oxygen absorbers and food grade storage buckets or containers, they allow your food investment to be stored in the best possible condition.

IMPAK’s Constant Heat Hot Jaw Sealer (Part Number: IPKHS-606T) will ensure that you have a consistent seal for all of your packages. It is the best handheld unit item on the market that can seal bags as large as 5-gallon drum liners. With an approximate 0.5" seal, this sealer makes sure your food is protected for many years.
For vacuum sealing your bags, we recommend our Keep Fresh 108. This sealer can seal bags up to 10.8” wide and does not require the use of special embossed bags. It is ideal for the organized homemaker that purchases food in bulk, and later repacks into smaller quantities for their family. Shop Sealers
After opening the mylar bag in the food-grade bucket or container, place the food in the bag, add the appropriate number of oxygen absorbers, heat seal the top shut, package and label the container. Shop Mylar Bags

IMPORTANT: AFTER YOU HAVE OPENED THE OXYGEN ABSORBERS
Oxygen absorbers begin working within minutes of the package being opened. When packaging food for long-term storage, you should use the entire contents of one sealed vacuum packet bag within 30 to 60 minutes. If you know that you will be unable to use the entire quantity, set those packets aside in a small, clean, and dry glass jar with a secure screw-top lid. (A jam or pickle jar will work fine.)
We also provide a special "bag clip" (unlike any chip clip you have ever seen) that will keep the opened oxygen absorbers pouch secure for a minimum of three months.

IMPAK produces custom printed pouches and packaging with an emphasis on materials with distinctive barrier properties to protect products from the adverse effects of moisture, oxygen, light and more. Learn about our unique custom capabilities.
High barrier bags are used to preserve and protect products. When paired with an oxygen absorber or desiccant, products enjoy even greater shelf-life and stability. However, selecting the appropriate package is not always as straight forward as it seems.
Not every Industrial Vacuum Sealer applies to every application. There are different models and types of Vacuum Sealers available, and each one of those sealers has different features that can affect the way a production line works.
