Materials and Construction Specifications

Our custom mylar envelopes use premium metalized polyester film, typically ranging from 48 GSM to 100 GSM depending on your protection requirements. The most popular configuration is a 3-layer laminate structure combining 48 GSM aluminum-metalized polyester with food-grade heat-seal layers, providing excellent barrier properties while maintaining flexibility and tear resistance.

For products requiring enhanced protection, we offer thicker constructions up to 100 GSM with multi-layer laminates. These heavier-weight options incorporate additional aluminum layers and thicker polyester substrates, ideal for long-term storage applications or products sensitive to environmental factors. The material specifications include:

  • Standard weight: 48-60 GSM metalized polyester
  • Medium weight: 70-80 GSM multi-layer laminate
  • Heavy duty: 90-100 GSM reinforced construction
  • Heat-seal temperature range: 300-350°F for secure closures
  • Oxygen transmission rate: Less than 0.5 cc/100 sq in/24 hrs
  • Moisture vapor transmission: Less than 0.1 g/100 sq in/24 hrs

All materials used by our manufacturing partners meet FDA requirements for indirect food contact, making them suitable for supplement packaging, snack bags, and other consumable product applications. The metalized layer provides both the protective barrier and a brilliant reflective surface for vibrant printing.

Customization Options for Brand Impact

Transform standard mylar pouches into powerful brand ambassadors with our comprehensive customization options. We use high-resolution flexographic and digital printing with eco-friendly soy-based inks to reproduce your artwork with exceptional clarity and color vibrancy on custom mylar envelopes.

Printing capabilities include full-color CMYK process printing, spot colors for precise brand matching, and special finishes like metallic inks and UV coatings.

Our design team provides free support to optimize your artwork for mylar substrates, ensuring colors translate beautifully to the reflective surface. Customization options include:

  • Full-color graphics with up to 8 color process
  • Custom sizes and shapes including die-cut windows

Sustainability and Environmental Responsibility

At Teal Packaging, environmental stewardship guides every decision. While traditional mylar presents recycling challenges, we work exclusively with manufacturing partners committed to sustainable practices and continuous improvement in packaging materials.

Our mylar envelope production incorporates several eco-conscious elements. We use soy-based inks instead of petroleum-based alternatives, reducing volatile organic compounds and environmental impact. All paper components in our production process carry FSC certification, ensuring responsible forest management.

Our partners optimize production runs to minimize material waste, and excess trim is collected for specialized recycling programs.

For clients prioritizing recyclability, we offer alternative barrier film constructions using recyclable materials like metalized polypropylene or aluminum-paper laminates that can be processed through appropriate recycling streams. We're also actively developing compostable barrier films for future custom mylar envelope alternatives.

Sustainability extends beyond materials to include efficient logistics.

Production Checklist

How to Plan Custom Mylar Envelopes

Use this page to brief Teal before quoting. The strongest custom mylar envelopes requests include structure, size, artwork stage, material target, quantity, ship-to country, and any compliance or retail display needs.

1. Confirm structure and fit

Share the packed product size, preferred box style, insert needs, and whether the package ships directly or sits on a retail shelf. If you are unsure, Teal can suggest a mailer, folding carton, sleeve, rigid setup box, tray, or insert direction.

2. Choose board and finish

Match the material to weight, shipping risk, shelf life, and brand feel. Common choices include kraft, SBS, corrugated, rigid board, recycled paperboard, matte lamination, gloss lamination, foil, embossing, debossing, and spot UV.

3. Prepare artwork and proofing

Upload logos, dielines, color references, barcodes, warnings, ingredient panels, or compliance copy before proofing. Teal checks print placement, bleed, safe zones, panel orientation, and finishing details before production starts.

4. Lock quantity and timeline

Quote accuracy improves when you include target quantity, launch date, shipping destination, and rush requirements. Standard production can begin after proof approval, and sample kits help compare materials before a larger custom order.

For faster pricing, include photos of your current packaging, competitor references, retail display rules, shipping carton requirements, and any sustainability goals. Teal can quote the closest production-ready option first, then refine dielines, inserts, coatings, print coverage, and carton strength after your team reviews the proof.
