Custom mylar bags for Houston.
Food exporters, spice and seasoning brands, frozen-food packers running through the ship channel. Made in-house in Michigan, ordered 100 units at a time.
Bags built for what your Houston brand sells.
Houston is one of the country's biggest food-export hubs, and that shapes what the packaging has to do. Spice and seasoning makers, frozen-food packers, and ethnic-food specialty brands all move product through the ship channel into Latin American and Asian retail, where barrier integrity, seal strength, and regulatory labeling aren't optional — a bag that fails in transit is a lost container, not just a bad bag. We manufacture every pouch in-house at our Oak Park, Michigan facility, so the film structure and seal spec are built to the actual export run, not pulled off a generic overseas catalog.
For Houston brands still testing a formula or a new SKU, the 100-unit minimum matters more than it sounds like it should — most flexible-packaging converters won't quote under 5,000 units, which means committing to a warehouse full of bags before you know the product sells. We run small first, then scale the same dieline to full volume once it does. Freight from our Michigan press to a Houston warehouse or the ship channel runs three to four business days by ground, with air freight available when a PO deadline won't wait.
Who we serve in Houston
Houston's spice trade runs through the ship channel into Latin American and Asian retail. We print stand-up and lay-flat pouches with the barrier film and seal strength export loads need to survive transit.
Frozen-ready meals and packed proteins need a barrier that holds through cold-chain handling and freezer burn. Metallized film keeps OTR under 0.1 cc/100in²/day so product quality doesn't drift in transit.
Protein snacks, trail mixes, and better-for-you crisps built for Gulf Coast grocery and convenience racks. Four-color print, reseal zippers, and moisture barrier matched to your fill.
Houston's specialty grocery channel is one of the most diverse in the country. We help brands spec film and closure for shelf-stable spice blends, sauces, and snacks headed to independent grocers.
Common questions from Houston businesses
Where can I get custom mylar bags in Houston?
Brand My Bags manufactures custom mylar bags in-house at our Oak Park, Michigan facility and ships to Houston brands nationwide — we're not a broker reselling overseas stock. Ground/air freight from our dock to the Houston ship channel runs three to four business days, and the minimum order is 100 units per SKU.
Can Houston food exporters use mylar bags that meet export barrier requirements?
Yes. Our metallized barrier film holds an oxygen transmission rate below 0.1 cc/100 in²/day and a moisture vapor transmission rate below 0.02 g/100 in²/day — the seal integrity export shipments through the ship channel to Latin American and Asian retail need to survive transit. All film is FDA-compliant for food contact, and we're SQF certified.
What's the minimum order for a Houston spice or seasoning brand?
100 units per SKU. Most flexible-packaging converters set minimums at 5,000 units or higher, which makes testing a new spice blend or seasoning line expensive before you know it sells. At 100 units, Houston brands can run a small batch first and scale the same dieline up to 100,000+ units once demand is proven.
Do you offer child-resistant mylar bags for Texas cannabis and hemp brands?
Yes. Our child-resistant pouches are certified to ASTM D3475-20 and CPSC 16 CFR 1700.20, with opaque barrier film and CR closures built into the dieline. We keep certification documentation on file for compliance review.
How fast can I get mylar bags shipped to Houston?
Production takes about 7–10 business days from proof approval, and freight from our Michigan press to Houston adds roughly three to four business days by ground or air. Total door-to-door is typically 10–14 business days, faster with air freight on tight PO deadlines.
