Custom Mylar Bags Built Around Your Product
Custom Mylar bags should be specified around the product—not chosen from a generic list. Start with size, barrier needs, filling method, order quantity, number of SKUs, closure features and target shelf life.
What makes a Mylar bag “custom”?
In packaging conversations, “Mylar bag” is often used as a broad term for a printed flexible pouch with barrier properties. A custom project can change the finished size, gusset, zipper, tear notch, hang hole, window, surface finish, print graphics and film structure. The correct specification depends on what is being packed and how the package will be filled, sealed, shipped and stored.
Barrier needs come before appearance
Artwork matters, but package performance starts with the product. Foods, coffee, powders, snacks and wellness products can have very different sensitivity to oxygen, moisture, aroma loss, light, grease or puncture. A high-barrier package may be appropriate for one item and unnecessary for another. Share your target shelf life and current packaging if available.
Custom printed Mylar bags for multiple SKUs
Many Canadian brands manage multiple flavours, roast profiles, strengths or seasonal designs. Include the total order quantity and the quantity by SKU. A project with ten designs and 5,000 bags per design is different from one design at 50,000 bags even when the total quantity is the same.
