How The Exotic Mylar Bags Have Changed The Packaging Industry

In dispensaries, stores or anywhere you go, you can see colorful bags with very unique printing everywhere. That shift from boring packaging to eye-catching designs happened because brands realized packaging sells products just as much as what's inside.

We've made mylar packaging for cannabis brands, snack companies selling exotic flavors, supplement brands, freeze dried food makers, everyone who needs packaging that protects products and looks absolutely luxurious doing it.

Good packaging does multiple jobs at once. It keeps your product fresh with proper barrier protection. It stands out on crowded shelves or in online photos. It tells customers this is a premium product worth paying for. Cheap packaging makes people think of cheap products even if what's inside is top quality.

Here’ All The Types Of Exotic Bags You Can Get

Not every product needs the same kind of bag. We make different types because different products have different requirements.

For cannabis products, you need bags that meet the legal requirements. Weed mylar bags come with proper barrier protection to keep it fresh. Most states require child resistant features and specific labeling. We make bags according to each requirement and still make it look great with your custom exotic mylar bags designs.

If smell upsets you, get custom smell proof mylar bags with multiple layers. Cannabis brands use this and also the companies selling strong smelling foods like dried fish, cat food etc. The bags keep smells away during storage and shipping.

Standup pouches are probably the most popular style we make. These display perfectly on shelves. The bottom design lets them stand up on their own. They work for everything from coffee to candy to cannabis.

For freeze dried products, you need bags with serious moisture barriers. Freeze dry bags use thicker mylar with better oxygen and moisture protection. Freeze dried food rehydrates if moisture gets in so the barrier quality really matters.

If you're packaging liquids or semi-liquids, custom spout pouches make way more sense than rigid containers. The spout lets customers pour controlled amounts. The pouch uses less material than bottles and takes up less space when empty. Popular for beverages, sauces, baby food, energy supplements, all that stuff.

Not Liking The Design? You Can Get Your Bags Custom Printed Easily

This is where exotic mylar bags really shine. Custom printing lets you do whatever you want with the design. We print full color so you're not limited to simple logos.

Here are some of the features you should look for:

  • Bold graphics
  • Bright colors
  • High contrast designs
  • Eye-catching patterns.
  • Product information
  • Ingredients, warnings, dosage info for cannabis, whatever's legally required

For cannabis brands, you've got compliance requirements to follow:

  • THC warnings
  • Dosage info
  • License numbers

We make sure your bags meet state requirements while still looking amazing.

What Is Barrier Protection and Why Is It Needed?

Mylar bags work because of the barrier protection. Regular plastic bags let air and moisture through. Mylar has aluminum layers that block oxygen, moisture, light, and odors.

Different products need different barrier levels. Here's basically how it breaks down:

Product Type Barrier Needs Best Bag Type Key Features
Cannabis flower High oxygen, odor and moisture barrier Smell proof standup pouches with zippers Child resistant, labeling, resealable
Freeze dried foods Best moisture resistance, oxygen protection Thick freeze dry bags with strong material Resealable, moisture indicators optional
Snacks and edibles Medium barrier, light protection Standard exotic mylar bags with printing Tear notches, clear windows optional
Liquids and sauces Puncture resistant, leak proof seals Spout pouches with reinforced seams Pour spouts, cap closures, standup design
Supplements and powders Moisture barrier, light protection Standup pouches with resealable tops Opacity options, matte finishes popular

We usually use 3.5 mil to 5 mil mylar for most products. Thicker bags provide better protection but cost a lot more than normal. 

Here Are The Top Most Important Features Of These Exotic Mylar Bags

Resealable zippers are used as standard packaging. Customers want the bags they can easily close back after using. The zipper keeps products fresh after opening. Moreover, it is the best when used for cannabis.

You also get tear notches options that make bags easier to open. That little cut on the top will let you open without scissors.

Other than that, they come with hang holes that let you display bags on boards or hooks. Lots of retail stores use pegboard displays so that hole punched in the bag gets very useful.

Clear windows are the best feature. For foods and some cannabis products, letting customers see what they're buying helps sales.

How To Get Them Made Easily Through Plus Printers

First figure out what you're packaging. Size, weight, how much barrier protection it needs, whether you need smell proof features, all that stuff affects what kind of bag you need.

Design comes next. Either send us your artwork ready to print or work with our design team. We'll show you proof of exactly how printing will look on the finished bags. Change whatever you want until it's perfect.

Order whatever quantity makes sense. Could be 500 bags to test a new product. Could be 2,000 for a launch. Could be 10,000 once you're established and want better per-unit pricing. Making them usually takes 2 to 3 weeks depending on complexity and quantity. Rush orders available when deadlines are tight.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I have been working with several companies - trying to nail down a box size and type for my organic tea business. Chris Martin was the ONLY rep in all of the companies I reached out to who was responsive, helpful, and walked me through the entire process. It was an absolute pleasure to give my small business dollars to Plus Printers! I will provide another review after I receive my custom product!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Chris Martin was so helpful and responsive! We needed custom folders made and looked at various different companies, but Plus Printers ended up offering the best quality and price. This was our first time ordering, but Chris guided us through every step and even sent us videos of sample folders and mockups of our final product so we could proceed with confidence. Thank you Chris and Plus Printers, we will definitely re-order when we run out of this batch.

We are very pleased with our packaging design! It was great working with Steven, I almost didn't work with Plus Printers because of their pricing but Steven went out of his way to try and negotiate prices with the sales department to fit our budget and offered us more budget-friendly packaging options as alternatives. Very responsive to my emails and made sure that our designs were how we wanted them! I look forward to working with them again soon!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

wonderful service from a company that went beyond expectation to help my project get up and running smoothly. My sales rep, Paul, and the design team at Plus Printers made sure to have every detail in place and gave me a quote other companies could not touch! Lead times were accurate and updates for shipping were by far the most stellar i have yet to see. Thanks a milion!
