Overview
Custom Die Cut Mylar Bags from Mylar Bags NYC are made for food, supplement, cannabis, pet and retail 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 custom-shaped products fresh from fill to final use.
Orders start at just 100 units, so you can test a new flavor, strain or product without committing to a warehouse full of stock. Every order includes free artwork checks and a digital proof.
Packaging is part of the product. For custom-shaped products, the bag controls freshness, aroma and shelf life, and it's often the first thing a customer touches. Well-made custom die cut mylar bags reduce returns and waste, look great in photos and on shelves, and give you space for your story, usage tips and required information.

Printing and finishes
We print custom die cut 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 custom-shaped products:
- Use a die-cut hang hole.
- Shape the top into your logo.
- Add a window.
- Use holographic film.
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 die cut mylar bags are Small (3.5 x 5 in), Medium (5 x 7 in) and Large (6 x 9 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 die cut 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 die cut mylar bags, we usually recommend custom die lines and hang holes, with a film thickness matched to the weight and shape of your custom-shaped 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.
- Custom die lines: adds practical value during filling, display and use.
- Hang holes: lets retailers display the bag on pegs.
- Zippers: lets customers reopen and reseal the bag, keeping contents fresh.

Sustainability is increasingly important to shoppers. Recyclable, compostable and kraft-look structures are available, and we can print a clear end-of-life message on every bag.
