Hello,
Are Heat Sealed Mylar bags the best for shipping?
Thank you.
-
I found it. Sorry.
They are.
-
Yes. Multilayer with metalized barrier - you should see NO light through bag even with strong light. 5-7mil for super protection. (long shipping times)
-
Thanks Flower. I appreciate the input.
-
No they are not.
You want to get a Moisture Barrier Bags (MBB), EIA 583 Class 1/ MIL-B-81705C.
3.6 mil is good, 6 is better.

Good seeing you use these lionware makes the stealth top-notch. Wont worry about a thing when ordering from you, cheers!

ALL-Spec is the most thorough seller of MBB's I have found .. 3.6m to 7mm, ALL sizes.

Yes, just like we said :)
make sure you get correct heat sealer, cheap/normal heat sealers cannot seal 14mils worth of material.

After reading the above posts, would it not be diligent to utilise both Multi layer Mylar & MBB?
I would speculate that the potential increases in 'stealth' afforded by the use of both these in packaging would increase the safety factor for both vendors and customers.
Would this be the case?

Overkill, This Is Serious Mum.
If you want to be on the safe safe safe side get 7mil MBB instead of the 3.6mil and use a 5mm seal.
Great LionwareTradingCo !
MIL-PRF-81705 Type I = MIL-B-81705 Type I (old specification)
