Materials
The right film depends on what you’re packing, how long it needs to stay fresh and where it’s sold.
- PET / AL / PE laminatethe classic Mylar structure, with an aluminum layer that blocks light, oxygen and moisture.
- Metallized PETa lighter, cost-effective metallic barrier.
- Kraft paper laminatea natural look outside with a foil barrier inside.
- Clear PET / PEhigh-clarity film for showing the product.
Printing and finishes
We print custom 1 pound mylar bags with digital or rotogravure printing, depending on quantity. Digital is ideal for short runs and many designs; rotogravure gives the lowest unit cost on large runs.
Finishes include matte, gloss and soft-touch lamination, spot gloss, metallic and holographic films, white ink underprinting on clear and foil films, and clear windows in custom shapes.
Design ideas
Ideas that work especially well for one-pound products:
- Print weight prominently.
- Window.
- Color-code.
- Zipper.
Not sure where to start? Tell us what you're packing, the fill weight and where it's sold, and we'll recommend a size, film and finish in your free quote. Our most requested sizes for custom 1 pound mylar bags are 1 lb stand-up (7 x 11.5 x 4 in), 1 lb flat (10 x 14 in) and 1 lb coffee (6.75 x 10.5 x 3.5 in). Smaller sizes suit samples and trial packs, the middle size usually fits your core product, and larger sizes work for family packs, bulk and wholesale. Because density varies, we always recommend testing your actual fill before printing. Fill custom 1 pound mylar bags through the top before sealing, leaving at least 1 inch above the zipper. For the strongest closure, use an impulse or band heat sealer set to the temperature recommended for your film. If you're using oxygen absorbers or desiccants, add them just before sealing, and store finished bags away from direct sunlight and heat.
Protection and performance
Flexible packaging has to protect against oxygen, moisture, light and punctures. For custom 1 pound mylar bags, we usually recommend heavy film and zippers, with a film thickness matched to the weight and shape of your one-pound products. Sharp or heavy products may need a thicker gauge; aromatic products need a high-barrier, smell-resistant structure. Tell us what you're packing and we'll suggest the right build.
- Heavy film: protects the product and sets the look.
- Zippers: lets customers reopen and reseal the bag, keeping contents fresh.
- Windows: lets shoppers see the product, building trust.
Sustainable options
Want a lower-impact option? We can make custom 1 pound mylar bags with recyclable mono-material PE structures, compostable films or kraft paper laminates, and reduce ink coverage. Each option trades some barrier performance, so we'll help you match it to your product's shelf-life needs.
