Curator's pick: Wallaby Impulse Heat Sealer
This unit is the critical link in the storage chain because it creates a consistent 5mm seal that prevents the micro-leaks common with standard household irons. It handles the thickness of heavy-duty Mylar without the risk of burning through the material or leaving weak spots that compromise an oxygen-free environment.
⚠ Worth knowing: Attempting to seal Mylar bags with standard flat irons or vacuum sealers often fails because the heat threshold isn't high enough for industrial-grade foil. These supplies also require a dark, temperature-controlled environment; even the best Mylar cannot protect against thermal degradation if stored in a garage prone to 90-degree swings.

How to use this together
1
Prepare and Bag Your Food
Begin by placing your dry food items into the Wallaby 50 Count Mylar Bags. Ensure the food is completely dry to prevent moisture-related spoilage. This is the primary barrier for long-term preservation, so a clean and dry environment is critical.
2
Add Oxygen Absorbers and Seal
Immediately after bagging, add the Oxy-Free 300cc Oxygen Absorbers to each Mylar bag. These will remove residual oxygen, preventing oxidation. Use the Wallaby Impulse Heat Sealer to create a strong, airtight seal across the top of the Mylar bag. A good seal is paramount for the absorbers to work effectively and for preventing air and moisture ingress.
3
Secure in Buckets
Once sealed, place your Mylar bags into the Generic 5 Gallon Food Grade White Buckets. This provides a crucial physical barrier against pests, light, and accidental damage. Finally, use the Gamma Seal Lid for 5 Gallon Buckets to create an airtight and watertight seal on the bucket itself, adding another layer of protection and ensuring easy access when needed.
