Flexible Packaging That Protects Your 3.5 Gram Products
The 3.5 gram format is the most widely recognized portion size in the cannabis flower and herbal supplement market. Consumers recognize it, retailers stock it, and brands build entire product lines around it. Custom 3.5 gram mylar bags give your brand a high-barrier, professional, and fully personalized packaging solution that keeps the product fresh, compliant, and visually compelling on any shelf.
At Teal Packaging, we produce custom mylar bags for 3.5g products with full-color printing, a range of bag styles and sizes, and sealing options designed for product security and compliance.
Our minimum order is 50 units, free design support is included on every order, and Free shipping is included on every Teal order, with delivery details confirmed during quoting.
Mylar bags, technically made from multi-layer foil-laminate film, provide superior barrier properties compared to standard poly bags. They block light, moisture, and oxygen, which preserves the freshness, potency, and aroma of cannabis flower and other aromatic herbal products. For brands selling in dispensaries, specialty retail, or direct-to-consumer, custom 3.5g mylar bags with strong branding make a significant difference in shelf presence and repeat purchase rates.

Materials and Barrier Specifications
Mylar bags for the cannabis market require specific material properties to maintain product integrity and meet shelf-life expectations.
Our 3.5 gram mylar bag construction options include:
- Standard Multi-Layer Foil Laminate: A three-layer structure combining PET, aluminum foil, and a food-grade inner PE layer. Provides excellent moisture, oxygen, and light barrier. This is the standard choice for cannabis flower packaging.
- Matte Finish Laminate: A premium look with a soft matte exterior that allows vivid printing while maintaining all barrier properties. Very popular in the high-end cannabis market.
- Glossy Finish Laminate: A high-gloss exterior for maximum visual impact and a polished, premium shelf presence.
- Clear Window Laminate: A configuration with a transparent front panel and foil back, allowing the consumer to see the product inside while maintaining barrier performance on the back panel.
All films meet food-safe standards. Printing is done with soy-based inks using high-resolution flexographic or rotogravure printing for sharp, consistent results across the run. Child-resistant zipper seals are available for markets where this is required.
Customization Options
Our custom 3.5 gram mylar bags are configurable across structure, print, and functional features:
- Bag styles: Flat bottom stand-up pouch, heat seal flat bag, pillow bag, or quad-seal bag. Stand-up pouches with flat bottoms are the most common format for 3.5g retail packaging as they stand upright on shelves and provide a large print area.
- Seal types: Resealable zipper (standard or child-resistant), heat seal top, tear notch, or hang hole for peg display.
- Printing: Up to 10-color printing across all panels. Space for compliance text, lab QR codes, batch numbers, state-specific warnings, and cannabinoid information can be incorporated into the design.
- Finishes: Matte, gloss, soft-touch matte, spot UV highlights, and foil effects on the printed panels.
- Odor control: Enhanced multi-layer odor-barrier configurations are available for cannabis products requiring discreet packaging.
Free design support covers both brand artwork and compliance text layout. We provide digital proofs for approval before production begins.
Standard Sizes for 3.5 Gram Mylar Bags
The 3.5 gram portion size has fairly consistent sizing needs across the market. Common mylar bag dimensions for 3.5g products (all measurements in inches):
- Standard flat bag for 3.5g flower: approximately 4 x 6 inches
- Stand-up pouch for 3.5g: approximately 3.5 x 5 x 2 inches (W x H x gusset)
- Slim flat seal bag: approximately 3.5 x 5.5 inches
- Wide flat bottom pouch: approximately 4 x 6 x 2.5 inches
If your product requires a non-standard size, we can produce a custom bag to match. Custom sizing is included at no additional charge. Providing a sample of the filled product helps us confirm the right fit before production.
Sustainability in Mylar Bag Production
Multi-layer foil laminates are not currently recyclable through standard curbside programs due to their composite construction. However, Teal Packaging offers alternative configurations for brands seeking to reduce their environmental footprint. Compostable bag films are available as an alternative for brands that can accommodate the slightly reduced barrier performance. We also work with paper-laminate hybrid bags that offer improved recyclability while maintaining adequate protection for dried herbal products.
Our manufacturing partners use soy-based inks and operate under environmental management standards. If sustainability is a key consideration for your brand, discuss your requirements with our team and we will help identify the most responsible option that still meets the performance needs of your product.
