Teal Packaging: A US-Based Mylar Bag Supplier for Brands and Resellers
Teal Packaging is a US company that manufactures custom printed mylar bags without the high minimums most bulk suppliers require. Production capacity sits in West Chicago, Illinois, in Guangzhou, and in partner manufacturing units, and each job is routed to the line that fits its spec and volume, so you are buying from the manufacturer rather than through a sourcing broker. Jobs run in West Chicago or overseas depending on the spec, and the route for your job is named on the quote. Whether you are a startup ordering a first 50-unit test batch or a reseller placing a recurring wholesale order, the same team handles the file, the proof, and the run.
Every order includes free dieline design, so your file gets checked and set up for print at no extra cost before anything goes into production. That matters most for brands and resellers who don't have an in-house packaging designer and need someone on the manufacturer's side to catch a sizing or bleed problem before it turns into a wasted print run. See the full custom mylar bags lineup for the base styles Teal stocks as a starting point for custom work.
Custom printed mylar bags come with full-color print on the film, so a reseller managing several SKUs can keep every product line looking distinct rather than settling for one generic bag across the whole catalog. That distinction matters most for private label sellers who need bag one and bag four to look nothing alike, even on the same order.
Mylar Bag Manufacturing Capabilities
Materials and Barrier Thicknesses
Mylar bags are built from multi-layer laminate film, and the mix of layers determines how much moisture, oxygen, and light the bag keeps out. Thicker, higher-barrier laminates cost more per unit but hold up better for products that are sensitive to air and humidity, like coffee, dried snacks, and supplements. Lighter laminates work fine for shorter shelf life or lower-barrier products. Because every job is quoted to spec, you choose the film structure that fits your product instead of settling for whatever a supplier happens to have in stock.
If you're dialing in a barrier plan around oxygen absorbers, the oxygen absorber calculator for mylar bags is a quick way to size absorbers to your bag volume before you finalize an order, rather than guessing and either underprotecting the product or paying for more absorber than the bag needs. FSC-certified and recyclable material options are also available by specification, alongside standard barrier film, for brands that want a lower-impact laminate without redesigning the bag from scratch.
Custom Sizes and Shapes
Standard stand-up pouch shapes are usually a starting point, not the finish line. Custom mylar bag manufacturing covers flat pouches, stand-up pouches, quad-seal bags, side-gusset bags, and die-cut shapes built to a specific silhouette. Because dimensions are quoted per job rather than picked from a fixed menu, you can size a bag for a 2-ounce sample pouch or a 5-pound retail bag from the same production line.
Not sure what dimensions to spec? The mylar bag size finder tool converts your product volume into a starting bag size, so you're not guessing at dimensions before you request a quote.
Order Volumes: Wholesale Runs and Low 50-Unit Minimums
One of the biggest differences between a US-based mylar bag supplier and most overseas suppliers is how low you can go on volume without losing pricing at the wholesale end. Teal runs a standard 50-unit minimum order quantity on custom mylar bags (specialty rigid packaging runs at 100+), so a new brand can order a small test batch, check fit and print quality, and reorder at volume once the product is proven. On the other end, wholesale buyers and resellers ordering in bulk see volume pricing that starts from $0.44 per unit, with the exact number depending on size, film structure, and print complexity.
- Low-volume test runs: 50-unit minimum order quantity on standard mylar bags
- Specialty rigid packaging: 100+ unit minimum
- Wholesale and reseller volume: pricing from $0.44 per unit
- Every order: free dieline design and free US shipping
Buying from the manufacturer instead of a broker: what actually changes
Mylar bag orders are often placed through a trading company or sourcing agent rather than with the factory itself. Buying from the manufacturer changes three things. Proofs, revisions and questions go to the people who will run the job. The minimum is set by the line rather than by what makes a container worth shipping. And when a dieline or a print needs a revision, the fix does not have to travel through a broker first.
| Factor | Ordering from Teal | Ordering through a sourcing broker |
|---|---|---|
| Who answers | The team that files the job, with no agent in the middle | Questions are relayed by the agent rather than answered by the line |
| Where it is made | West Chicago, Guangzhou, or a partner unit, routed by spec and volume, and named on the quote | A factory chosen by the agent, often not named to the buyer |
| Production start | From about 7 business days after proof approval on standard runs; complex prints and high-volume runs take longer and are scheduled on the quote | Depends on the factory the agent places the job with and the freight it is booked against |
| Minimum order | 50 units standard, 100 or more for specialty rigid | Often much larger, set by what makes a container worth shipping |
| Sampling | Sample kit for $50, credited against your first order | Samples usually ship internationally, adding cost and transit time |
None of this means a broker cannot deliver good bags. It means the trade-off is usually unit price at very high volume against flexibility, the ability to order 50 units instead of a container, and how fast a dieline or print revision can be fixed. For brands still building volume, or resellers restocking on a short cycle, dealing with the manufacturer is usually the more practical fit.
Who these custom mylar bags suit
Custom mylar bags suit a wide range of businesses that need barrier packaging without committing to container-scale minimums. That includes coffee roasters packing single-origin runs, supplement brands with rotating SKUs, snack companies testing new flavors, and ecommerce sellers who need retail-ready pouches shipped to one US address. Resellers and private label companies managing multiple brands under one account use the low MOQ to keep inventory lean across SKUs instead of overbuying just to hit a supplier's minimum.
For resellers and subscription brands that also need help getting bags out the door once they're printed, Teal's fulfillment center in West Chicago, Illinois handles kitting, pick-pack, and ship-to-recipient work alongside the print run, so packaging and order fulfillment can run through one vendor instead of two.
Ordering mylar bags at wholesale volume
Wholesale and reseller runs follow the same order path as a 50-unit batch, but the questions that decide the quote change, because at volume the film structure and the bag format drive the number more than the print does.
What to send for a wholesale mylar bag quote
Six things settle most volume quotes: the finished bag size, the format (flat pouch, stand-up pouch, gusset, or shaped), the quantity, the barrier you need or the product and shelf life you are protecting, the number of print colors or the artwork, and the date you need the bags in hand. Features that change tooling, such as a zipper, a valve, a spout, or a tear notch, belong in that first message because they affect both price and schedule.
What changes as the quantity rises
Quotes are returned against the quantity bands on the request form: 50 to 99, 100 to 499, 500 to 999, 1,000 to 2,499, 2,500 to 4,999, and 5,000 or more. Within those bands the film structure and the bag format move the number as much as the count does, so two runs of the same quantity can quote differently. That is the main reason a wholesale quote needs the specification rather than just the number of bags.
Why the film choice costs more at volume
The barrier section above explains how the laminate layers work. At wholesale quantities that choice is the one worth slowing down for, because the same specification is repeated thousands of times and a structure that is one layer heavier than the product needs is paid for on every unit. Sizing the barrier to the product, rather than to the heaviest option on the sheet, is worth doing before the quantity is fixed.
How to Order Custom Mylar Bags From Teal
Getting started with a custom mylar bag order follows roughly the same path regardless of size, whether it's a 50-unit test batch or a standing wholesale order.
- Pick a bag size and shape, using the size finder tool above if you're converting from a product volume or weight
- Submit your artwork; the design team checks the file and builds a print-ready dieline at no extra cost
- Approve a proof before anything goes to press, so what you sign off on is what ships
- Production begins once the proof is approved, running from about 7 business days for standard orders (longer for complex prints or high-volume runs)
- Delivery follows in roughly 2 to 5 business days, with free US shipping on the order
If you want to see and feel the film before committing to a production run, Teal's sample kit ($50, credited to your first order) is a fast way to check barrier weight and print quality firsthand.
