Custom mylar bags are flexible pouches made from metallised barrier film. They keep moisture, light and air out, so food, coffee, tea, supplements and CBD products stay fresh for longer.
We make custom printed mylar bags as stand-up pouches, flat pouches and die-cut shapes, with zip locks, tear notches, hang holes, windows and child resistant zips.
Full-colour printing in matte, gloss or holographic finishes turns a practical pouch into eye-catching retail packaging.
Why choose custom mylar bags?
Freshness and shelf life
Barrier films protect contents from moisture, oxygen and light.
Resealable convenience
Zip locks let customers reseal the bag after opening.
Light and economical
Pouches weigh less than boxes and cost less to ship and store.
Choosing the right mylar bag
Stand-up pouches have a gusseted base and stand on shelves. Flat pouches suit samples and small quantities. Die-cut shapes make products stand out. Add a window to show contents, or keep the bag fully opaque for light-sensitive products.

Custom mylar bags wholesale pricing
The price of custom mylar bags depends on a few simple factors, and knowing them helps you get the best value from your budget:
- Size and style: larger boxes and complex structures use more board and set-up.
- Material: paperboard costs less than corrugated, and corrugated less than rigid board.
- Printed sides: outside-only printing is the most economical; inside printing adds impact for a little more.
- Finishes: foil, embossing and soft-touch add a premium feel and a small cost per box.
- Quantity: the unit price drops as the order grows, so wholesale runs give the best value.
Tip: keep one structure across several products and change only the artwork, and you can order custom mylar bags in larger combined runs at a lower unit price. Request a free quote and we will suggest ways to reduce cost without losing quality.
Sustainable custom mylar bags
More customers now check whether packaging can be recycled before they buy. We can make your custom mylar bags from recyclable and recycled-content board, print with water-based or soy-based inks, swap plastic windows for open or plant-based film, and right-size every box so it uses less material and less void fill. Add a small recycling symbol and message to show customers you care.

- Use 300 DPI images and CMYK colours, or Pantone references for exact brand colours.
