What you get with our Mylar bags
Barrier matched to your product
Mylar and aluminum foil laminates are built for products that go stale from air, moisture or light. We recommend the structure from your product, fill weight and target market, and the advice is free.
Print up to 9 colors in house
Digital and gravure printing run on our own machines, so artwork, color and bag making are handled by one team. More colors raise the unit price, and each is itemized on the quote.
Closures and extras
Zipper, degassing valve, window, hang hole and tear notch can be added. Each one affects the price and is listed separately.
Checked before it ships
Bags go through 11 quality checks before packing, and leak-proof testing is done before shipment.
Our Product Range
How do I choose the right Mylar bag?
Work through three questions in order: what goes inside, what structure protects it, and what budget and paperwork you need.
-
Step 1: Start with the product and how it is used
The product decides the bag style before anything else. Dry snacks, granola, powders and pet treats usually go into a stand-up pouch. Coffee, premium food and pet food suit a flat bottom pouch, which stands firmly and gives five printable panels. Sauces, drinks, detergent and refills need a spout pouch, which we leak-test before production. Food that is cooked or sterilized inside the bag needs a retort pouch rated for your process temperature, and a standard Mylar pouch is not made for that.
Then think about how often the bag is opened. If customers reach into it again and again, choose a ziplock or slider. If the product is filled on an automatic line, form-fill-seal roll stock film is the better format than pre-made bags.
-
Step 2: Choose the material by shelf life and appearance
Mylar, a PET-based film, is usually laminated with a metallized or aluminum foil layer. This gives the high barrier that long freshness depends on. Foil laminate gives the strongest barrier and is normally opaque. A window lets buyers see the product but reduces light protection in that area. Kraft paper laminate gives a natural look, and barrier then depends on the inner layers, so tell us how long the product must stay fresh.
Fresh-roasted coffee is the classic case where the structure needs a one-way degassing valve as well as a barrier layer. Without the valve, the bag swells as the beans release gas.
-
Step 3: Set budget, quantity and documents
Price depends on material, size, number of print colors, quantity per design, and extras such as zipper, valve or window. There is no price list on our website because these factors change the number. You get an itemized quote within one business day. For quantity, digital print at 1,000 pcs per design suits launches, test runs and many-SKU ranges. Gravure at 10,000 pcs per design gives the lowest unit price once a design is proven.
If your market requires specific documents, say so in your brief. Film certificates are sent with the quote.
When two structures both fit, we recommend one in writing, with the reason.
- Mylar or foil laminate suits
- Your product loses quality from oxygen, moisture or light
- You need full-color print on a bag that stands on the shelf
- Shelf life matters more than a see-through pack
- The bag must be cooked or sterilized in the pack, so use a retort pouch
- Your line fills automatically, so use roll stock film
- You need a recyclable pack. Mylar and foil laminates are not recyclable, so ask us about mono-PE (30,000 pcs MOQ per design)
