Custom Mylar Bags

Custom Mylar Bags with Logo, Resealable Zipper, and Clear Window

What custom mylar bags are used for

Mylar bags are flat or stand-up pouches made from layers of plastic film with a metalized layer. The film is light and flexible, and it blocks much of the light and air that can dull a product. Brands use custom mylar bags for snacks, coffee, tea, spices, granola, candy, bath salts, powders, supplements, samples, and small beauty products. A stand-up pouch sits on the shelf and shows your design on a large front panel. Tell us what you plan to pack, because the product, its oils, and its weight help us suggest the right film and closure for the bag.

Sizes and how to measure

Mylar pouch size is written as width x height x bottom gusset. The bottom gusset is the fold that lets the bag stand up. To choose a size, measure the volume or the weight of your product, then compare it to the pouch size. A small pouch, such as 3.5 in x 5 in, suits samples and single servings. A mid size pouch, such as 5 in x 8 in, suits most retail snacks and beauty items, and a large pouch suits bulk items. Leave about an inch of space at the top for the zipper and the seal.

Example sizes (approximate and for reference only; we confirm the exact size before you order):

• Small: about 3.5 in x 5 in x 2 in
• Medium: about 4 in x 6 in x 2.5 in
• Large: about 5 in x 8 in x 3 in
• Extra large: about 6 in x 9 in x 3.5 in
• Bulk: about 8 in x 12 in x 4 in

Film, closure, and window

Custom mylar bags come in matte or glossy film, in silver, white, black, or a color. A resealable zipper keeps the bag closed after the first opening, and a tear notch makes it easy to open the first time. A hang hole lets the bag hang on a rack. Custom mylar bags with window have a clear panel, shaped like a circle, a rectangle, or your logo, so the customer can see the product. Because a window lets some light in, we suggest the window size and the film that suits your product. Tell us what you plan to pack, and we suggest the best mix.

Printing and finishing

Custom mylar bags printing is usually full color digital printing on the front and back, with a matte or gloss surface. Digital printing handles small runs and many designs without extra plate cost, so you can print several flavors or scents with one bag size. Custom mylar bags with logo can carry a bold front panel, a short brand story on the back, and the label text you supply. A spot gloss on the logo, on a matte bag, gives a small contrast that stands out on a shelf. Keep the main message near the center of the front, and keep important text away from the seals and the zipper.
