Custom Mylar Bags, Printed in Bulk
Turn a plain pouch into branded, shelf-ready packaging. We print your logo, artwork and colors onto high-barrier mylar bags — stand-up pouches, flat pouches and side-gusset bags, with resealable zippers, matte or gloss finishes and clear windows available.
Your brand, on every pouch
Everything you need to know about custom mylar bags
Custom mylar bags are multi-layer laminated pouches printed with your logo, brand colors and product information. The name “mylar” refers to the metallized polyester (PET) film at the heart of the laminate, which is bonded to other layers such as polyethylene and, in high-barrier versions, aluminum foil. The result is flexible packaging that protects what is inside from oxygen, moisture, light and odor transfer while giving your product a professional, retail-ready face. Whether you are packing coffee, snacks, protein powder, pet treats or edibles, a printed pouch does double duty: it preserves freshness and it sells your brand on the shelf.
Because every order is made to your specification, the right pouch depends on what you are packing, how it will be displayed and how long it needs to stay fresh. Style (stand-up, flat or side-gusset), film gauge, barrier level, finish and closure all combine into the final bag. This guide walks through each choice so you can arrive at a spec that fits your product and your budget. When you are ready, request a custom quote and we will match your artwork to the right pouch and confirm pricing.
A printed pouch works twice — protection and packaging that sells
Blank or stock bags blend into the shelf. A custom mylar bag printed with your logo, ingredients and colors builds recognition, communicates quality and keeps product fresh from fill line to pantry. The same pouch that seals in aroma also carries your brand into every customer’s home.
Brand on the shelf
Every pouch is packaging and marketing in one. Print your logo, artwork and messaging edge to edge in full color so your product stands out wherever it sells.
Built to protect
Multi-layer film with high oxygen and moisture barriers, light-blocking foil options and a food-grade inner layer keeps contents fresher for longer.
Made to spec
Choose the pouch style, size, film gauge, finish and closure. We match your Pantone brand colors and handle runs from small batches to high-volume production.

Mylar bag styles and sizes: which pouch do you need?
Pouch style affects how your product stands on the shelf, how much it holds and how it is filled. Film gauge (measured in mil) and capacity (measured by fill weight) are the two most quantitative choices — the charts below show the common ranges we produce.
Common film gauges (thickness)
Thicker gauges add durability and barrier. Heavier products and long-term storage favor 4–5 mil films.
Typical fill capacity by size
Fill weight varies with product density — a pouch sized for 1 lb of coffee holds a different volume of powder. We size to your product.
| Pouch style | Best for | Bottom / structure | Reseal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stand-up pouch Popular | Retail shelf display, snacks, powders, treats | Bottom gusset, stands upright | Zipper optional |
| Flat pouch (3-side seal) | Single-serve, samples, thin products | Flat, lies flat | Tear notch |
| Side-gusset bag | Coffee, bulk goods, tall fills | Side gussets, expands to fill | Tin tie / valve |
| Flat-bottom (box pouch) | Premium retail, coffee, larger fills | Flat bottom, five-panel | Zipper |
| Child-resistant pouch | Edibles, cannabis, regulated products | Stand-up or flat | CR zipper |
Built to protect freshness and keep your brand sharp
Our custom mylar bags are laminated from multiple film layers, each doing a job. The metallized PET (mylar) layer provides strength, a light barrier and a printable surface; an inner polyethylene layer creates a reliable, food-grade heat seal; and high-barrier constructions add an aluminum foil layer for the strongest defense against oxygen, moisture and light. The layers are bonded so the pouch stays flexible, resists punctures and holds a crisp print through handling and shipping.
Barrier level is the choice that most affects shelf life. Foil-lined pouches offer the highest oxygen and moisture barrier and block light completely — ideal for coffee, supplements, freeze-dried food and long-term storage. Metallized and clear-window films let you show product while still protecting it. Thicker gauges (4–5 mil) add durability for heavier fills, sharp-edged products and repeated resealing. Tell us what you are packing and we will recommend a film and gauge that fits.

Mylar bag finishes and what they signal
Beyond the printed artwork, the film finish shapes how your packaging feels in the hand and reads on the shelf. Here are the finishes we produce most, and the look each one lends a brand.
Need an exact match? We print to your Pantone brand colors, and can combine finishes — for example a matte body with a gloss-spot logo.
