Custom printed mylar bags are high-performance packaging made to seal in freshness, block odors, and show off your brand in full color. Whether you’re selling herbs, snacks, cosmetics, or pet treats, these bags do double duty—preserve and promote.
And the look? Next-level. Glossy, matte, metallic, or clear-windowed. Whatever your vibe is, it’s printable.
Why Brands Are Switching to Mylar
Let’s be real—first impressions matter. Especially on a crowded shelf or an online listing. Mylar gives you structure, barrier protection, and visual appeal in one shot.
What you get:
-
Custom smell proof mylar bags that hold scent, keep it discreet
-
Tear and puncture resistance for safer shipping
-
Custom sizes to fit anything from gummies to coffee
-
Heat-seal and zipper options to lock it all in
-
Custom mylar bag with window if you want customers to peek inside
Real Story: Packaging That Sells Itself
One small spice brand came to Kwick Packaging with plain kraft pouches. No design, no punch. Sales were slow. We switched them to matte black custom printed mylar bags with a bold logo and clear window strip. Same product inside. Different outside.
Within weeks? They couldn’t keep up with orders. Stores started reaching out to stock them. That’s the power of packaging done right.
Key Elements to Include on Your Mylar Bags
Keep it clean. Straightforward. Strategic.
Must-haves:
-
Logo + brand name
-
Product name & weight
-
QR code or URL
-
Legal info (if regulated)
-
Batch or barcode (for traceability)
Avoid clutter. No one’s reading a wall of text.
Design Tips to Make Your Mylar Bags Stand Out
Don’t overthink it—but don’t phone it in either.
1. Use White Space
Not every inch needs ink. Let the design breathe.
2. Bold Fonts Only
If it’s hard to read, you lose the customer.
3. Color Contrast
Dark text on light backgrounds or vice versa. Always test samples.
4. Match the Market
Playful designs for candy? Minimalist for skincare? Match tone to target.
Are Mylar Bags Eco-Friendly?
Short answer—some are. Look for recyclable or biodegradable options. More manufacturers are offering sustainable mylar, so you don’t have to sacrifice function for values.
Common Mistakes When Ordering Mylar Bags
