Custom Mylar Bags That Sell: Sizes, Specs & Features for Product Owners
If you’re selling a physical product, your packaging isn’t just a wrapper it’s the first impression your customer gets. That’s why thousands of brands trust custom Mylar bags to keep products fresh, safe, and on-brand.
Why Custom Mylar Bags Are a Smart Packaging Choice
The Material Behind the Name
“Mylar” refers to a tough polyester film (BoPET). It’s known for being:
-
Moisture-resistant
-
Oxygen-blocking
-
Tear-resistant
-
Heat-sealable
That means your product stays protected in storage, during shipping, and on the shelf.
Why Businesses Prefer Mylar for Packaging
Whether it’s coffee, bath salts, protein powder or CBD gummies, Mylar bags keep it fresh, sealed and safe.
Unlike paper or thin plastic bags, Mylar adds barrier protection—no smells leaking out, no moisture getting in.

Frequently Asked Questions about Custom Mylar Bags
What are custom Mylar bags used for?
Custom Mylar bags are widely used for packaging products that need strong barrier protection. They are ideal for food items, snacks, coffee, tea, spices, supplements, pet treats, cosmetics, and herbal products. Their airtight structure helps extend shelf life while keeping contents fresh and odor-free.
How do Mylar bags protect freshness better than regular plastic bags?
Mylar bags are made from layered, high-barrier materials that block moisture, oxygen, light, and odors. This multi-layer structure prevents product degradation, making them far superior to standard plastic packaging for long-term storage and retail display.
Can I choose different styles of Mylar bags?
Yes. We offer stand-up pouches, flat pouches, three-side seal bags, quad seal bags, and child-resistant styles. You can also add features like resealable zippers, tear notches, hang holes, or clear windows based on your product needs.
Are custom sizes available for Mylar bags?
Absolutely. Each Mylar bag is produced according to your exact dimensions, ensuring a proper fit for your product. This helps reduce wasted space, improves presentation, and lowers shipping costs.
