Title: UK - UK mylar bags with oxygen absorbers?
Post by: icon2007 on May 13, 2012, 08:22 pm
Hi,

has anyone tried oxygen absorbers will packaging and sending weed within country to country?

First i was thinking of using a vacuum sealer but then the machines do make a lot of noise! so Mylar bags seem the better option for now?

would for example a gram of weed sealed in a Mylar bag be okay to send UK - UK? or would it defiantly have to be vacuum sealed etc?

Don't use mylar, If you're looking to use a metal laminate bag for controlling smell  get a quality moisture barrier bagging (3M dri-shield maybe)

No need to vacuum, when scents diffuse through plastics pressure differentials make no difference whatsoever.  People widely believe pulling a vacuum helps but people widely believe a lot of dumb things.

Use a standard industrial/commerical heat sealer.  5mm+ width seals are good.

The everything you need should run $150 or less online.

Good luck

Bob

Just curious - why is the noise of a vaccum sealer an issue? They aren't any louder than say a hoover.

Living with other people who may mind etc would be weird if theres a constant noise coming 2-3 hours a day  7 days a week haha :)
