About our mylar bags
Mylar bags protect products that light, moisture and air would spoil, and keep strong odors in. That makes them the standard pouch for cannabis flower and edibles, and popular for snacks, candy, coffee, supplements and long-term food storage. Printed edge to edge, they also give a small brand a premium shelf look.
We supply stand-up and flat mylar pouches to your size, with resealable zippers, tear notches and hang holes, printed in matte, gloss or holographic finishes. Orders start at 10 bags.

What affects the price of mylar bags
Every box is made to order, so each order is quoted individually. These are the things that move the price most, in order:
- Size and style. Larger bags and stand-up gussets use more film than small flat pouches.
- Zipper type. Child-resistant zippers cost more than standard press-to-close zippers.
- Finish. Holographic and spot-matte effects cost more than a single matte or gloss finish.
- Windows and extras. Clear windows, hang holes and tear notches each add to the price.
- Quantity per design. Short runs per strain or flavor cost more per bag than one larger run.

Child-resistant and smell-resistant
Many US states require cannabis products to be sold in child-resistant packaging. We offer zippers designed to meet child-resistance testing; whether a finished bag counts as child-resistant depends on testing of the final package, and we supply samples for that testing. Heat-sealing the bag above the zipper adds tamper evidence, and the barrier film keeps odor in.
Labeling and compliance
Cannabis bags commonly need a state universal symbol, warnings, batch number and a QR code to lab results; food bags need FDA food labeling. We leave room on the bag for this information and print exactly the content you supply. Cannabis rules differ by state, so please confirm the requirements for your market.
