Title: plastic used for vacuum packaging
Post by: tbart on July 11, 2013, 03:22 pm
curious what kind of plastic vendors are using to vacuum bag their product - are any using foil faced plastic? Reason i ask, and in case no one is aware or thought about it, plastic will let moisture migrate thru the plastic, albeit small amount, but still if moisture can pass thru, odors can definitely make it thru, especially when shipping in hot weather or climates. Potatoe chip bags are foil faced or metalized on the interior surface to give the plastic better protection from moisture permeating thru to the chips and it works.

are any of the vendors using that kind of plastic - if so, please identify

You should check out the sticky thread at the top of the security forum: http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=119458.0
STEALTH THAT WORKS - DITCH THE PE FOOD GRADE VAC SEAL

Right, basically, at least for things like weed, any type of LDPE/HDPE vacuum seal bag is inadequate, even when in 2 or 3 layers. The thread talks about mylar, MBB's, foil lined bags, etc, and how to clean them between layers, check for leaks, etc.
