Popular Mylar Bag Types

There are several styles of Mylar bags, each serving different functions based on your product type and market.

Stand-Up Pouches

Great for edible packaging, loose flower, or non-cannabis products like tea, supplements, and dry snacks. Optional zipper closures, hang holes, and tear notches available.

Flat Pouches

Best for pre-rolls, small samples, single-use items, and slim storage. These are the lowest-cost option and ship efficiently.

Child-Resistant Mylar Bags

Built to meet ASTM D3475 and other state packaging regulations. Ideal for THC gummies, flower, dabs, and concentrates. We offer certified CR zipper pouches and push-release seal bags.

Windowed or Clear-Front Bags

Let your product do the selling. These bags feature a clear window or full-face front for showing off buds, snacks, or specialty items. Custom-shaped windows are also available.

Holographic, Foil, and Metallic Finishes

Give your packaging a bold, futuristic look with reflective finishes. These add visual impact and brand distinction — especially in retail displays.
