Overview
Your dry goods deserve packaging that keeps them fresh and makes them stand out. Our custom ziplock mylar bags combine high-barrier films with practical details like zip closures and tear notches, and premium printing that turns every bag into a mini billboard.
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 dry goods, the bag controls freshness, aroma and shelf life, and it's often the first thing a customer touches. Well-made custom ziplock 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 ziplock mylar bags are Small (4 x 6 x 2 in), Medium (5 x 8 x 3 in) and Large (7 x 11.5 x 4 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 ziplock 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 ziplock mylar bags, we usually recommend zip closures and tear notches, with a film thickness matched to the weight and shape of your dry goods. 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.
- Zip closures: adds practical value during filling, display and use.
- Tear notches: makes opening easy and adds tamper evidence.
- Heat seal: creates an airtight closure.
Sustainable options
Want a lower-impact option? We can make custom ziplock 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.
