What is a Mylar Bag?
Mylar bags are incredibly resilient, smell proof bags that are perfect for storing regulated products. Because Mylar is much less permeable to gasses like oxygen than other materials, it makes the perfect airtight, odor proof bags for discreetly packaging regulated products, hemp, and consumable products. Plus, most Mylar bags are resealable, so you can sell large quantities of flower and assure your customers it will stay fresh for weeks - as long as they reseal the closure, that is!

How to Seal Mylar Bags
Mylar bags are sealed with heat sealing machines, which are super easy to operate. We carry three varieties of heat sealers: two manual and one semi automatic. We highly recommend the semi automatic as it can seal ~ 30 bags in under a minute.
Is Mylar Recyclable?
Because of Mylar’s synthetic qualities, it cannot be recycled in most general curbside recycling programs. However, there are recycling programs/centers that will accept Mylar, you may just need to do a little digging to find one in your area. There are also send-out recycling programs like TerraCycle that work to accept and repurpose all materials/packaging/products.
Can Dogs Smell Through Vacuum Sealed Bags?
While everyone (including ourselves) advertises their Mylar regulated products bags as “smell proof,” there’s always a chance that trained dogs will catch a whiff of the goods within. The most common reason this happens isn’t because the bag is porous - rather, it’s often because the packagers were handling the flower and the bags as they filled each one. Their hands transfer regulated products oils/particles onto the outside of the bag, which any dog would be able to smell. To be extra cautious, wipe your regulated products bags down with a wet wipe.

Mylar bags are the first choice for vacuum-sealing weed products.

What Are Mylar Bags?
Mylar bags are made from multiple layers to offer excellent odor control, moisture resistance, and protection from light damage, extending the shelf life and freshness of your product. Mylar, known scientifically as boPET or biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate, was invented by DuPont and has been a storage staple for over 50 years. Mylar has an incredible range of applications from food and cannabis storage to celebratory balloons.
Five Benefits of Mylar Bags
- Barrier Properties - The barrier layer locks in odors for smell-proof packaging and keeps moisture out, extending the shelf life of your cannabis.
- Durability - The multi-layer construction of Mylar bags creates a strong, tear-resistant material to protect weed products from loss or damage during transportation and storage.
- Flexibility - Lightweight and easy to store, Mylar bags take up much less shelf space than rigid jar and bottle packaging.
- Reusable - When properly cleaned, Mylar bags can be refilled and sealed for reuse.
- Child-Resistant - Marijuana Packaging offers two patented, child-resistant Mylar closures to reduce accessibility and the risk of accidental ingestion by children.
Selecting the Right Size
Marijuana Packaging offers a wide variety of Mylar bag sizes to fit all your cannabis storage needs. Select from preset sizes ranging from 1 gram to 56 grams.
How Can Marijuana Packaging Customize My Mylar Bags?
Marijuana Packaging offers a number of options to customize your Mylar bag’s size and shape to fit your needs.
- Die-Cut: The easiest way to make your product stand out in a competitive market is to create a Mylar pouch that is tailored to your exact needs. Designing a custom die-cut Mylar bag gives you complete creative control over the size, dimensions, and overall shape, ensuring a perfect fit.
- Gusset: Selecting a Mylar bag with a corner gusset at the bottom allows your product to be displayed standing up. If your product is heavy or needs more space, we can customize a flat bottom pouch or a bag with side gussets.
- Hang Hole: Adding a hang hole to your Mylar bag makes it easy for retailers to optimize your shelf placement, whether it is in a point-of-purchase display or on a pegboard.
- Ecofriendly: Marijuana Packaging offers two types of sustainable bag options. Recyclable Mylar bags are a cost-effective alternative to standard Mylar. If you are trying to get away from plastics entirely, kraft paper bags are an alternative option to Mylar. However, due to the nature of the materials, kraft pouches require additional printing plates and there can be a slight color shift in the final results.
- Tamper-Evident: Some states require tamper-evident packaging. Ensure your product meets regulatory requirements by adding a tear notch above the opening.
- Child-Resistant Closures: Marijuana Packaging offers two patented child-resistant zip closures, Pinch N Slide and Pinch N Pull. Both child-resistant Mylar bag closure types meet state regulatory requirements and are tamper-evident.
Special Finishes for Mylar Bags
Once you have decided on the size and shape of your Mylar bag, it is time to finalize the aesthetic with special finishes.
- Matte vs Gloss: Choosing gloss gives your Mylar pouch a polished, shiny look. Selecting matte for your Mylar bag will provide a sleek, flat look.
- Spot UV: Add a gloss coating on targeted areas of your bag while leaving others in a matte finish to make those areas stand out.
- Soft-Touch: A soft-touch finish is exactly what it sounds like: a multi-layer coating that feels soft. Soft-touch brings an extra layer of elegance to your Mylar bag.
- Hot Foil Stamp: Amp up the look of your Mylar bag by adding a hot foil stamp. The hot stamp process uses pre-dried inks, otherwise known as foils, that are transferred to your Mylar pouch at high temperatures, leaving behind your highly reflective design.
- Emboss: Embossing is a technique that raises select parts of the Mylar surface, creating a design you can feel while adding to the visual appeal.
