Hello! My name is Jeff, and my wife Shauni and I launched the FoodVault brand in 2024. For those interested - here's our story:
Since getting a Harvest Right freeze dryer in 2022, we've really enjoyed the ability to make our own freeze dried snacks and meals. After all the work and expense that goes into preserving a batch of food - we realized that it's critical to use top quality packaging to protect our food storage investments. After testing many different brands, sizes, and styles of mylar bags we learned that we preferred thicker mylar bags (7+ mil per side) that were of the stand-up gusseted variety (as they are much easier to fill, store, and use).
However we came across some frusterating problems. First, the MRE (Meal, Ready to Eat) bags that we'd been buying did not hold enough food to satisfy one adult for one meal (plus they were unusually expensive). Second, it was difficult to consistently find all the bag sizes we wanted in the thicker mylar. And third, having had access to a micrometer (a very sensitive thickness measuring device), we discovered that the majority of mylar bags on the market were actually thinner than their advertised specs (and thinner bags lead to greater oxygen permeability).
To solve for these issues we've created our own line of long-term food storage bags. Really we just created the mylar bags that we wanted to use in our own family. Bottom line is that we totally love them and hope you will as well.
Personally we are value oriented consumers - we love having the best quality and design - but don't like paying top dollar for it. We also believe in treating others how we'd like to be treated. Because of this we've worked hard to offer great products at great prices.
We love hearing from our customers and would be happy to chat with you anytime. We also sincerely want you to be completely satisfied with your FoodVault products - and if for any reason you are not - just reach out and we'll happily make things right with you.
- Jeff and Shauni, FoodVault Brand Owners
