5 Gallon Mylar Bags are large-format custom-printed mylar foil pouches for bulk storage, growers, and brands moving product in volume. The multi-layer foil film holds a 5 gallon load while keeping contents shielded from light.
The large capacity means fewer bags for bulk inventory, and the foil film blocks light so stored product is protected on the shelf or in the back room. A heavy-duty seal keeps the load enclosed during handling. Growers and processors use these for bulk flower storage, harvest holding, and wholesale transfers.

5 Gallon Mylar Bag Specs and Common Questions
A 5 gallon mylar bag holds roughly 20 to 30 pounds depending on product density, which makes it a standard choice for bulk dry storage and wholesale transfers.
What thickness should a 5 gallon mylar bag be?
For long-term bulk storage, a heavier gauge (commonly 5 mil or thicker) resists punctures better than thin films. Teal builds each order to your spec, so gauge, gusset, and print are set per run rather than fixed.
Are these bags smell-proof and child-resistant?
Smell-proof and child-resistant closures are design-target features we can build toward with a disclaimer, not a certified guarantee. Ask us to review your use case before you order.
What sizes pair well with 5 gallon bags?
Many brands run a size range across SKUs. See our custom 1 gallon mylar bags and the broader custom mylar bags line, or request a quote to spec a full set.
Gauge and Seal Width on Bulk Mylar Bag Orders
A five gallon bag is judged on film thickness and seal integrity. Thin gauge material handles short term storage; heavier gauge resists pinholes when the bag is dropped into a bucket and pressed against the rim. Seal width matters as much as thickness, because a narrow seal is where long term storage fails first. Zipper closures are available but do not replace a heat seal.
| Bags ordered | Gauge and seal guidance |
|---|---|
| 50 | Storage trial with a filled bucket over time. |
| 500 | One gauge, one bag size, plain or lightly printed. |
| 1,000 | Two gauges compared for different storage windows. |
| 5,000 | Printed identification panels on each gauge. |
| 10,000+ | Bulk storage supply from about $0.44 per unit at volume. |
For scheduling, in-house eligible bag conversion sits near about 7 business days, and specialty imported foil laminate can require about 12 weeks. Foil supply is the swing factor. We include continental US shipping, which matters on cased bags taking more space than they weigh.
