Last time I ordered 1 quart mylar bags, it was like 6x10 I believe and just ordered more and they are bigger.

Maybe 8x10 but both was supposed to be 1 quart.

I think, they where from a different company. I wouldn't think it'll matter 1 quart is 1 quart.

Anybody else ran into this?
Thank you.

I didn’t know they made quart size.  I only ever buy gallon size.

marketing speak-- this is the closest version we have to at least holds a quart.  It also makes searching inventory sizes a bit easier.

And yep; seen a lot of different shapes, etc.   I would go with the slightly larger size - esp if I intent to re-seal the package.  (Assuming the bag thickness are the same)

Found out..even though it says 1 quart size bag, it's a half gallon. The company told me this today.

does anyone make Mylar bags on a roll I can use in my food saver?

seems sucking all the air out and sealing under vacuum would be great

I haven't seen anything like this. It would need to be specialized as regular mylar won't vaccuum seal

Though you generally don't need to vaccum seal mylar for typical applications, there's a trick you can do to get mylar to vacuum seal by cutting a short strip of vacuum bag material and sticking it in the opening of the mylar, has worked pretty well for me

How many do you need?  I cut and resealed some 5-6 gallon mylar bags recently into quart sized pouches to make some homemade backpacking meals.
