Mylar bags are thick foil laminates, and a lot of sealers that handle thin plastic pouches never claim to close them. If you store freeze dried food, grains or long term pantry goods, the useful question is simple: does the listing say the machine seals mylar or foil, and how wide and how thick? This guide only includes chamber sealers whose listing mentions mylar, aluminum foil bags or plastic-aluminum foil film. It then compares seal bar length (your maximum bag width), the pump, what the listing says about mylar thickness, and the size of the machine. Specs come straight from the Amazon listings. When a listing does not give a mylar thickness, the table says so, and you should test a bag from your own supply or ask the seller before committing to a case of bags.
