(25) 1 Gallon GENUINE Mylar Bags + (40) 300cc Oxygen Absorbers In packs of 20

Description: This auction is for 25 ShieldPro 10"x14" Mylar Bags. They come with 2 packs of 20 - 300cc oxygen absorbers (15 extra!).More info: As an FYI, there is another seller on eBay (and several on the Internet) claiming to sell 'Genuine Mylar bags'. However, there are several things you should know. First, the manufacturer the other sellers have listed as producing their bags, while saying 'Mylar' on their website, actually lists a material that is not Mylar on their actual product specifications page (meaning they are saying Mylar in its common use connotation, not its technical one...its not a fib, just confusing). They list '48g Met Pet' (metalized polyester) as the material. While this is a fine bag, Mylar's designation as first introduced by DuPont in the 1950's is 'BoPET'. 48g Met Pet is actually a generic description and could be made of many different films, but none of them is 'Genuine Mylar'. BoPET is NOT a generic description. (You can verify all this through some small amount of research on Wikipedia, DuPont's website, and through a detailed reading of the buyers and their manufacturers listing; I'm also glad to provide more information through email). While I definitely don't like getting into 'he said, she said' with other eBay sellers, when they start spreading misinformation in an attempt to sell more products and at the same time damaging their competitors by saying they are selling inferior products is plain wrong. Plus the fact that they have not done their research and are almost certainly not in fact selling 'genuine Mylar' is beside the point. Some additional information for those who are interested!:=)It isn't mentioned that Mylar is not produced by DuPont anymore, but by Dupont/Teijin. (Interestingly, Teijin is a Japanese company, and DuPont does not produce Mylar through any other means than a consortium with Teijin) Also, while Mylar is a brand name for BoPET, there are several other brand names for the exact same material. Also, 50% of ALL 'genuine' Mylar is made in Asia. So saying 'USA made' does not mean any particular Mylar film was not imported into the US (as most is) and processed into bags here (This is why most manufacturers (including the one mentioned) are on the west coast, so they can import films from Asia and then process them into bags in the US). And while I LOVE selling American products, please know that any seller who is importing Asian products are NOT selling bad products. In most cases, they are functionally equivalent to their USA Made counterparts, they simply cost less. All the sellers on eBay want to sell a good product at a good price. Please know that I am a Prepper myself, and was one long before I was in business. I will ALWAYS give you the real deal in terms of information, regardless of whether you buy something from me or not. I want people to store food and water. I want people to be prepared. I have a program in place to provide free Mylar bags to indigent Vets (Google Food Storage Supplies for Veterans) and we offer a discount on our website to folks who rescue dogs (our other charity), for no other reason than to make quality products available to just about anyone that needs them. About us:ShieldPro offers lots of bag styles others don't. Please see the definitions below if you are unsure of a particular item. Gusseted Bag - A gusseted bag folds out at the bottom so it can stand up during filling. (It has an extra dimension, so for example our Gusseted 1-Gallon bag measures 10"x"16"x4", meaning it has a 4" gusset) Tamper Evident - Great bags for food storage pros. These bags are OPEN AT THE BOTTOM, and have a pre-sealed Zip Seal at the top. This means you fill the bag from the open bottom, and then heat seal it. This means you have a perfect, factory-sealed zip seal at the top to protect your food after it has been opened. Often used by commercial packers to ship food in. Zip Seal - A standard Ziploc style bag. It is filled from the Zip Seal end. For maximum protection, you can heat seal above the Zip Seal. OD - Industry lingo for a 'standard' Mylar Bag. It is sealed on 3 sides and has an opening on the 4th where you fill and heat seal the bag. This is the 'standard prepper bag'. Economy - Our 'Econ' bags are still awesome for food storage, and they have sold more than any other prepper food storage bag in the US. (In the millions, and growing every day!) It is 3.5 mils vs. 5-6 mils for the standard ShieldPro bags. However, it still offers great barrier protection, comparable to many other sellers '4 mil' bags. How to seal: If you are only doing a few bags, a clothes iron (on the wool setting or a little higher) or a hair straightener work perfectly. If you are a business or prep group sealing hundreds of bags, consider a KF-150cst Heat Sealer hand sealer to make the job a breeze. How Many Oxygen Absorbers Should I Use?: The general rule of thumb is to use 300-500cc per 1 gallon of bag. Thus for a 1 gallon bag, use 1-2 300cc oxygen absorbers. For a 5 gallon bag, use a 2000cc oxygen absorber. About ShieldPro - We are a family-owned and run company based out of Nashville, TN. However, we don't just sell our products...we use them.

Because of this, I hope you will give us a chance to fix any problems before you leave anything other than 5-star feedback. This business is our livelihood, and feedback is the lifeblood of that business. Please let me know if you have any questions, I look forward to serving you!
