Custom Mylar Bags

In an age where freshness, safety and branding matter more than ever, packaging is not just a wrapper – it’s an extension of your product and your brand. Mylar®, the trademark for biaxially‑oriented polyethylene terephthalate (BoPET), is prized for its high tensile strength, chemical and dimensional stability and barrier properties. Because this polyester film is less permeable to gases than many other plastics, it is favoured in the food and pharmaceutical industries where shelf‑life and aroma retention are critical. When laminated with aluminium or other layers, Mylar provides an exceptional barrier against oxygen, moisture and light, making it ideal for everything from coffee beans and dried fruits to hemp flower and electronic components.

Why Use Custom Mylar Bags?

Off‑the‑shelf packaging often fails to meet the diverse needs of modern businesses. Products lose freshness, branding gets lost in the crowd and safety regulations vary across jurisdictions. Custom mylar bags solve these problems by combining premium barrier performance with complete design control. Whether you need to preserve delicate aromas, comply with child‑resistant regulations or simply stand out on the shelf, custom mylar packaging gives you the flexibility to do so.

Common pain points our customers report include:

• Product freshness deteriorates quickly in ordinary plastic bags (leading to waste).
• Branding looks generic and fails to convey premium quality.
• Standard bags lack features like resealable closures, clear windows or child‑resistant mechanisms.
• Overseas suppliers have long lead times and high minimum orders.

Custom mylar bags address these challenges. They can be manufactured to your exact size, material and design requirements, ensuring your products stay fresh, your brand is memorable and your packaging meets regional compliance standards.

How to Customise Your Mylar Bags

With our in‑house design team and advanced printing technologies, you can tailor every aspect of your packaging. Here is how the process works:

1. Choose your size and format: from one‑gram pouches to multi‑pound bags. Pick a stand‑up pouch, flat bag, gusseted bottom, spouted pouch or specialised shape.
2. Select your materials: clear, metallised aluminium, kraft paper, biodegradable films or recyclable structures. Multi‑layer laminates combine barrier performance with premium textures.
3. Decide on print technology: short runs leverage high‑resolution digital printing for vibrant colours and photographic detail; larger runs use flexographic or gravure printing for cost‑efficiency and metallic/holographic effects.
4. Add finishes and features: matte or glossy lamination, soft‑touch coatings, spot UV, foil stamping, holographic foils; functional elements such as resealable zippers, child‑resistant sliders, tear notches, hang holes or die‑cut windows.
5. Approve the artwork: our designers provide proofs and 3D mock‑ups. You can request adjustments until you’re satisfied.
6. Production & delivery: once approved, we at UC Packages manufacture your custom mylar bags with meticulous quality control. We ship worldwide with quick turnaround times and low minimum orders.
