Overview
Your long-term food storage deserve packaging that keeps them fresh and makes them stand out. Our custom food storage mylar bags combine high-barrier films with practical details like thick foil laminates and heat seal, and premium printing that turns every bag into a mini billboard.
Whether you're launching your first product or restocking a national line, we print custom food storage mylar 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 long-term food storage, the bag controls freshness, aroma and shelf life, and it's often the first thing a customer touches. Well-made custom food storage 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.

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 food storage mylar bags are Quart (8 x 12 in), Gallon (10 x 16 in) and 5 gallon (20 x 30 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 food storage 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 food storage mylar bags, we usually recommend thick foil laminates and heat seal, with a film thickness matched to the weight and shape of your long-term food storage. 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.
- Thick foil laminates: maximizes barrier against light and oxygen.
- Heat seal: creates an airtight closure.
- Oxygen absorber compatible: adds practical value during filling, display and use.

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.
