Overview
Custom Cookie Bags from Mylar Bags NYC are made for bakeries, roasters, snack and specialty food brands that need packaging which protects freshness and sells on the shelf. We make every order to your size, print it in full color with your artwork, and choose a film structure that keeps your cookies and baked treats fresh from fill to final use.
Whether you're launching your first product or restocking a national line, we print custom cookie bags from 100 units, with free design support, a digital proof before production and turnaround of 10 to 15 business days after approval.
Packaging is part of the product. For cookies and baked treats, the bag controls freshness, aroma and shelf life, and it's often the first thing a customer touches. Well-made custom cookie bags reduce returns and waste, look great in photos and on shelves, and give you space for your story, usage tips and required information.

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 cookie 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 cookies and baked treats:
- Use a round window.
- Print bakery branding.
- Warm colors.
- Add a 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 cookie bags are Single (4 x 6 in), Two pack (5 x 7 in) and Half dozen (6 x 9 x 3 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 cookie 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 cookie bags, we usually recommend windows and zippers, with a film thickness matched to the weight and shape of your cookies and baked treats. 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. Packaged foods sold in the US generally need a product name, net quantity, ingredient list, allergen information, manufacturer details and often a Nutrition Facts panel. Our food-contact films are suitable for dry and many moist foods; confirm requirements for your product with a regulatory advisor.
- Windows: lets shoppers see the product, building trust.
- Zippers: lets customers reopen and reseal the bag, keeping contents fresh.
- Heat seal: creates an airtight closure.
Sustainable options
Want a lower-impact option? We can make custom cookie 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.
