Wallaby 100ct Multi-Size Mylar Bags, 400cc Oxygen Absorbers, 15 & 10 Mil Total Thickness, 1-Gal, 1-Qt, 1/2-Pt, Stand-Up, Zipper & Heat-Sealable, Gusseted Zipper Bags for Long-Term Food Storage

I just started my journey of emergency preparedness and I couldn't be more impressed with the Wallaby mylar bags. These bags are absolutely top-notch for storing dry goods for long term storage.The quality of the material is outstanding - strong, thick and durable. The design of the bag makes it easy to stand up, so filling up the bag is a breeze. The zip lock seal works great and after heat sealing the bags with a hair straightener, I have had no issues with any bags leaking or opening unintentionally. Also like the mention, it's a great bonus that it comes with oxygen absorbers to keep stuff fresh and the stick on labels are great for keeping stuff organized.Overall, these bags offer excellent value for the price. They're easy to use, reliable, and perfect for anyone looking to keep food fresh especially for the long term. Highly recommend! 5 stars!

These are put together very well. They seal well. The labels are easily written on and stick well to the bags. The dri-locks need extra thought, as they don't keep well outside of sealed containers. I have not used these long term but over the summer, they kept the flour and sugar dry and fresh.

What a great kit! Nice quality bags, clear instructions, and everything you need other than the impulse sealer (I got a $20 model that did the job). It’s huge having the zip closure, not only for ease of re-closing when eventually opening the bag, but it also properly aligns the top of the bag for sealing. These are thick material that will not compromise easily and the gusset both allows them to stand up and helps with filling. No smell and no complaints!

Comes with everything you need for emergency storage. I used mine to store rice and beans. If you don’t have a bag sealer using an iron on the cotton setting with seal the bag just fine. Once the bag is opened I wouldn’t recommend trying to seal it again. It seems these bags are a one time use item but still good quality and easy to use.

Is holding up pretty well. I put my freeze dried foods in it and am pleased w the quality.

Why one star short? The zip-lock feature. We purchased these for the sole reason that we didn't want to have to put open bags into another container. It seemed convenient on paper. But this feature makes sealing the bags more tricky. There's less room for error and if you do error and have to open the bag, you'll wind up having to seal below the zip-lock making it useless for resealing. They work great, but you have to be more careful and precise when sealing which means more time. If you're doing 120 gallons at a time, that extra time takes a toll.Then there's the standup feature. It seemed so right, but again, some caveats apply. We are converting from canned storage to bags for better space usage. A standup bag defeats this. They take less depth, but they're wider and longer. The best space-saving comes when you stack them lying down. Then they outshine the cans by more than double. But if they're lying down, the standup feature is unneeded.The bags are outstanding. The whole kit: bags, oxygen absorbers, labels is a wonderful package. The bags are of superior quality. The price to value ratio is the best you'll find. And these two added features have a place, but they come with some trade-offs.I will be buying more bags; many more bags. I will get those without these features in the future for the reasons stated.

Quality is excellent

I initially ordered cheaper Mylar bags with O2 absorbers, but they were delayed, which turned out to be a blessing as this was my first time packaging food for long term storage and I wouldn’t have seen the difference in quality. So while waiting, I ordered Wallaby’s based on reviews and was able to package 10 or so food packages before the cheaper set finally arrived. The cheaper set of bags were advertised as 15 mil thickness, yet were noticeable thinner than the 7.5 mil Wallaby’s, and a 1 gallon cheap bag weighed roughly 1/2 of what the same size Wallaby’s bag weighed on my scale. I then packaged about 10 bags of the cheaper set to try them out. In a couple of days, the Wallaby’s bags/oxygen absorbers had sucked their bags tightly against the contents, whereas the cheaper set didn’t appear to absorb anything. I’ll need to repackage those with decent O2 absorbers or risk finding my food spoiled when I need it 15 or 20 yrs from now. Lesson learned, buy the Wallaby’s from now on.
