Mylar Bags For Food Storage: Freshness Guaranteed
The right bag extends shelf life — the wrong one causes waste and returns. That’s why our Mylar bags for food storage are made from multi-layer laminates that resist oxygen and light, the two biggest culprits behind spoilage. We don’t just supply bags; we engineer protection for your food products.
Available in various thicknesses and formats, from small pouch packs for snacks to large Mylar bags for food storage, every unit is designed to perform through shipping, storage, and retail display.
Why UK Food Brands Choose Healey Packaging?
We’ve spent over ten years working with UK food producers, coffee roasters, and health brands, helping them stay compliant and shelf-competitive. Our food safe Mylar bags meet UK and EU contact standards and are suitable for direct food packaging. They’re ideal for:
- Roasted coffee, teas, and powdered blends
- Dried fruit, cereals, and snack mixes
- Protein powders and supplements
- Long-term pantry or emergency storage
Whether you’re running a local deli or managing wholesale distribution, we customise packaging around your product’s needs — not the other way round.
Designs That Stay Vibrant, Products That Stay Fresh
Good packaging doesn’t just protect; it markets for you. With custom printed Mylar food bags, your designs are printed using precision digital or offset processes, ensuring colour consistency across every batch. Finishing options include:
- Matte or gloss lamination for surface protection
- Spot UV to highlight logos or ingredients
- Foil stamping for premium retail presentation
- Window cut-outs for visibility without compromising freshness
Your packaging should work as hard as your recipe. That’s why our design team helps ensure your bags not only pass safety checks but also attract buyers.
High-Performance Biodegradable Food Bags
At Healey Packaging, we’ve tested plenty of materials over the years, and not all “green” options perform equally. Our eco-friendly packaging range includes recyclable and biodegradable Mylar food bags that keep food just as fresh as standard laminates. The inks are water-based, the films are lightweight, and the result is simple — less waste, no compromise on protection. It’s the kind of sustainability that actually works in the real world.
Common Mylar Bag Formats for Food Products
We offer several structures depending on your filling line and sealing method:
- Flat pouches for lightweight dry goods
- Stand-up pouches with zippers for reusability
- Side-gusset bags for coffee or cereals
- Heat-sealable bags compatible with standard commercial sealers
If you’re unsure which type best fits your product, our packaging engineers can guide you through barrier rating, thickness, and heat-sealing recommendations.
The Simple Path to Your Perfect Mylar Food Bags
- Tell us what you’re storing – product type, fill weight, and print design.
- We recommend the right laminate – based on moisture or oxygen sensitivity.
- Approve a digital mock-up – so you know exactly what’s arriving.
- Production & delivery – typically completed in 10–14 working days across the UK.
Every batch undergoes strict quality control for seal integrity, print alignment, and barrier performance.

All About Mylar: Your Top Questions Answered
How safe are Mylar bags for storing food?
Every Mylar bag we make is tested and approved for direct food contact. They’re the same standard used by many UK food brands for dry goods, coffee, and snacks — so you can pack with confidence knowing your contents stay uncontaminated and fresh.
What makes Mylar better than standard plastic food bags?
It’s all about barrier protection — Mylar keeps air, light, and moisture out, which helps preserve freshness far longer.
Can I seal or reuse the bags once opened?
Yes. Most clients use a standard heat sealer to close them, and you can add a zip or tear notch if you want customers to reseal after first use. It’s practical for anything from snacks to powdered supplements.
Is it possible to order printed bags in smaller batches?
You don’t have to buy thousands to start. We run short digital print batches for new launches or samples, and move to offset printing once you’re ready to scale.
Do you supply eco-friendly versions too?
We do. There’s now a recyclable and biodegradable film option that performs like classic Mylar but fits with sustainable brand policies. It’s becoming one of our most requested materials.
