Would it be better to keep powdered milk in the original packaging or vacuum seal into small packages?
Get the amber colored big mason jars and a vacuum sealer that has an ability to do wide mouth jars and such. Leave a 1 inch to 1/12 inch space between the lid and pull it down into a low pressure with the vacuum sealer. Should be good for quite a long time. You can put a moisture absorber in there also if you like before you pull it down.Would it be better to keep powdered milk in the original packaging or vacuum seal into small packages?
I have come to like the jars better than the mylar. They have just become expensive. But then the mylar bags are none too cheap either.

You can do that with powdered eggs and other such things,.... freeze dried potatoes, etc. You're basically ensuring a 30-35+ shelf life for the items, if they are stored in a somewhat cool area.
Look around for the amber colored ones if you can find them, or purchase them off amazon. Get the big gallon and half gallon ones. Anything that keeps more light out is good for storage of food.I have come to like the jars better than the mylar. They have just become expensive. But then the mylar bags are none too cheap either.
