Overview
Custom Mylar Bags with Boxes 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 products sold in retail boxes fresh from fill to final use.

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 mylar bags with boxes are Small set (4 x 6 in bag, 4.5 x 2 x 6.5 in box), Medium set (5 x 8 in bag, 5.5 x 2.5 x 8.5 in box) and Large set (7 x 11.5 in bag, 7.5 x 4 x 12 in box). 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 mylar bags with boxes 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 mylar bags with boxes, we usually recommend matching boxes and inserts, with a film thickness matched to the weight and shape of your products sold in retail boxes. 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.
- Matching boxes: adds a premium retail presentation.
- Inserts: adds practical value during filling, display and use.
- Full-color print: makes colors and details sharp.
Sustainable options
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.
