WEST CHICAGO, Illinois, July 21, 2026: Teal Packaging, a US-based custom packaging supplier, has launched two free online tools that help food, coffee, supplement, and retail brands spec mylar packaging without guesswork: a Mylar Bag Size Finder and an Oxygen Absorber Calculator for food storage. Both are available now at no cost, with no login or account required.
The two tools target the two questions brands ask most often before ordering mylar: what bag size fits my product, and how much oxygen absorber does that bag need. The Mylar Bag Size Finder recommends a bag footprint and gusset from a product's volume or weight. The Oxygen Absorber Calculator estimates the cubic-centimeter (cc) rating a filled bag needs based on its dimensions and headspace. Teal built both as self-serve utilities so a brand can size a run before it ever contacts a supplier.
Together the tools remove a common bottleneck in packaging procurement. Instead of trading emails to nail down dimensions and absorber counts, a coffee roaster or supplement founder can get a starting spec in minutes, then bring that spec to a quote. That matters because the wrong bag size wastes film and shipping volume, and an under-spec'd absorber leaves too much oxygen in the pack.
What the two tools do
Each tool answers one specific spec question, then hands off to a real product page or quote. Here is how they compare.
| Tool | Answers | Inputs | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mylar Bag Size Finder | Which bag size and style fits your product | Product volume or fill weight, format preference | Coffee, snacks, powders, retail dry goods |
| Oxygen Absorber Calculator | How much oxygen absorber (cc) a filled bag needs | Bag dimensions, headspace, contents type | Long-term food storage and shelf-stable packs |
According to Teal, both tools output a starting recommendation, not a final purchase order. A brand can take the suggested size straight to custom mylar bags or drop it into a quote request to get pricing to spec.
Why Teal built them
The tools exist because sizing and oxygen control are where most first-time mylar buyers get stuck. Brands new to flexible packaging often over-order a size or guess at absorber counts, and both mistakes cost money over a production run.
According to Teal, most brands know their product well but not their bag geometry or their oxygen math. The company built the tools to give founders and packaging leads a way to answer those two questions themselves, for free, before they ever contact Teal. A better starting spec makes for a faster, cleaner quote on both sides.
Teal notes that the tools are intentionally scoped for food, coffee, supplement, retail, and other shelf-stable goods. They are general utilities: a brand supplies its own product details and gets a size or absorber estimate back.
How to use the Size Finder
The Mylar Bag Size Finder works in three steps.
- Enter your product's fill weight or volume, and pick a format (flat pouch, gusseted bag, or stand-up).
- Review the recommended bag footprint and gusset the tool returns.
- Take that size to custom printed mylar bags or a quote to price it.
How to use the Oxygen Absorber Calculator
The Oxygen Absorber Calculator also runs in three steps.
- Enter your bag's dimensions and estimated headspace once filled.
- Note the contents type so the estimate reflects how densely the bag packs.
- Read the suggested oxygen absorber cc rating, then match it to your fill line.
Availability and pricing
Both tools are live now, free, and require no login or email signup. They sit alongside Teal's mylar catalog, which includes custom mylar food storage bags, custom mylar vacuum seal bags, and stand-up mylar pouches. Custom mylar orders start from 50 units, with pricing from $0.44 per unit on bulk orders and every job quoted to spec.
Teal's mylar bags use a multi-layer mylar and foil laminate. Recyclable material options are available by specification. Features such as smell-limiting or resealable closures are design targets that brands should validate against their own product and regulatory needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the mylar tools really free to use?
Yes. Both the Mylar Bag Size Finder and the Oxygen Absorber Calculator are free, and neither requires a login, an account, or an email address. You can run either one and get a starting spec without contacting Teal first.
What do I do with the results after I run a tool?
Take the recommended bag size or absorber rating to a Teal product page or a quote request. The tools give you a starting spec. Teal then quotes your actual order to that spec, including material, print, and finishing.
Who are these tools built for?
Food, coffee, supplement, and retail brands, plus herbal or specialty brands packaging shelf-stable goods in mylar. If you sell a dry or shelf-stable product and want the right bag size and oxygen control, both tools apply.
