Custom Mylar Bags: Durable, Resealable, and Fully Branded
Mylar bags offer superior barrier protection that standard packaging cannot match. Made from BoPET (biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate) film, these bags block moisture, oxygen, light, and odor, making them the go-to packaging for products that need long shelf life and maximum freshness. Teal Packaging produces custom printed mylar bags in any size and style for food, cannabis, supplements, and specialty products.
Why Mylar?
Mylar film provides an oxygen transmission rate near zero when properly sealed. This means your coffee stays fresh for months instead of weeks. Your supplements maintain potency. Your cannabis stays at optimal humidity. No other flexible packaging material offers this level of barrier protection at a comparable price point.
Mylar Bag Styles
- Stand-Up Pouches: Gusseted bottom lets the bag stand upright on shelves. The most popular style for retail and ecommerce.
- Flat Pouches: Lay-flat bags for samples, single-serve portions, and thin products.
- Resealable Zipper Bags: Press-to-close zipper for multi-use products like snacks, tea, and coffee.
- Child-Resistant Bags: Certified child-resistant closure for cannabis, supplements, and pharmaceutical products.
- Spout Pouches: Built-in pour spout for liquids, sauces, and beverages.
- Die-Cut Window Bags: Clear window section to show the product inside while maintaining barrier properties on the rest of the bag.
Industries
Coffee and tea brands (valve options available for degassing), cannabis and CBD products (child-resistant, smell-proof), protein powders and supplements, dried foods and snacks, pet treats, spices and herbs, cosmetic sheet masks, and emergency food storage.

Are mylar bags food-safe?
Yes. Our mylar bags are made with food-contact options available by specification food-grade materials. They are safe for direct food contact including dry foods, coffee, tea, snacks, and supplements.
Can mylar bags be resealable?
Yes. We offer press-to-close zippers, slider zippers, and child-resistant zipper closures. Resealable bags keep products fresh after opening.
