What size mylar bags do you use for 1 oz, 2 oz, 8oz and 16 oz? And what is a good brand or bags on Amazon that work well? Jars are finally taking up a lot of room. Or are jars still the best way to cellar?

I use packfresh for long term storage of beans, grains, and flour. I’ve never had any issues with spoilage (I add an o2 and moisture absorber prior to sealing them). They’re sold on Amazon, but I’ve never compared prices by ordering direct from them.I prefer jars over bags, as the latter are more reusable and have a bulletproof track record. But use both.
For bags, I like the gusset style that are resealable. That way, once you crack the heat seal, you can still use the bag without moving the product for at least a couple months. And they’ll stand upright as you do.
I’m a little leery of Amazon, and foreign sourced plastics and rubbers generally. For the same reason I only use American made pipe bites. For mylar, I use these people, who claim to sell USA made products:

Your link shows product is unavailableI've had great success with the 1-quart ProPremium mylar bags on Amazon. These are big enough to store open tins and loose.
