Brand My Bags prints custom mylar bags from 100 units per design in our own plant in Oak Park, Michigan. Not a broker, not a marketplace listing — our press, our film, our proof team.
Search "custom mylar bags no minimum" and you will find a lot of sites promising exactly that. Most are brokers placing your order somewhere else, and the real floor appears in the quote — usually 5,000. We take the opposite approach and publish a number we actually run: 100 bags per design, same press and same film as a six-figure order. The reason small brands spend their first two years in generic packaging is that the economics of a 5,000-unit run do not work before you know the product sells. This closes that gap.
A 100-unit order uses the same multi-layer polyester (Mylar™) laminate as every other job on the floor: a print-receptive PET outer layer, a metallized MET-PET middle layer carrying the oxygen and moisture barrier (OTR <0.1 cc/100in²/day, MVTR <0.02 g/100in²/day), and a food-safe sealant that forms an airtight heat seal. Barrier performance comparable to a sealed glass jar, at a fraction of the weight.
Nothing about the specification is downgraded for quantity. The only thing that scales with volume is price per unit. Our facility is SQF certified, and child-resistant constructions are certified to ASTM D3475-20 and CPSC 16 CFR 1700.20 — available from the first 100-unit run.
Made in Oak Park, Michigan · SQF certified · Same film, press, and proof review at 100 units as at 100,000 · Spec sheets available at quote time
Each link goes to a dedicated guide with specs tuned to that product. Same film and barrier — the spec changes with the fill.
You do not yet know which flavor moves, which size sells, or whether the label reads on a shelf. A 100-unit run answers those questions with real packaging instead of a mockup — and costs less than being wrong about 5,000 bags.
Best with: stand-up pouch · 100 units per design · matte or gloss
The minimum is per design, so four SKUs is four runs of 100. That is how a small brand puts a full lineup in front of customers and lets sell-through pick the winner, rather than guessing and buying deep on a single flavor.
Best with: same size across SKUs · shared structure · distinct front panels
Child-resistant pouches certified to ASTM D3475-20 and CPSC 16 CFR 1700.20 are available at the same low minimum. Compliance is not gated behind a large order, so a new cannabis brand can be shelf-legal on its first run.
Best with: CR zipper · opaque metallized film · 3.5g–1oz sizes
A holiday run, a festival exclusive, or a collab with another brand does not justify a full production order. Low minimums make short-life packaging viable, and the artwork can change every time without re-tooling.
Best with: any format · spot UV or foil for a premium drop feel
Walking into a buyer meeting with real printed packaging rather than a label on a clear bag changes the conversation. A short run is enough to stock a market table and leave samples with a regional buyer.
Best with: stand-up pouch · retailer-ready UPC panel · hang hole
Brands that start on a stock pouch from a marketplace eventually hit the ceiling: no branding, no barrier spec they control, no supplier relationship. Moving to a custom run at low minimum is the step up — and the same press handles the reorder when volume grows.
Best with: your existing size · upgraded film · full-bleed print
Brand My Bags starts at 100 bags per design on Quick Order. That is the actual number you can order today — not a headline that turns into 5,000 once you request a quote. Most US converters require 5,000+ per run because press setup, plate costs, and film waste have to be amortized across the order.
No. A 100-unit order prints on the same press, on the same film, through the same proof review as a 100,000-unit order. The bag is physically identical. What changes is the price per unit — small runs cost more each because setup is amortized over fewer bags.
Price per bag depends on size, film, finish, and closures — not on a fixed rate card. At 100 units the per-unit cost is higher because press setup is spread across fewer bags; it drops materially at 1,000, and again at 2,500 and 10,000. We quote your first run and your next tier at the same time so you can plan the reorder before the first one ships.
Standard turnaround is 7–10 business days from proof approval, shipping from our plant in Oak Park, Michigan. Small orders are not queued behind large ones — a 100-unit run moves through the same schedule.
Yes. Every order is printed and converted in our own facility in Oak Park, Michigan. We are a manufacturer, not a broker — there is no overseas shop in the middle, and no re-quoting when your order grows.
All of them. Stand-up, lay-flat, and side-gusseted formats from 2″ × 2″ up to 20″ × 20″, with press-to-close zippers, child-resistant closures, tear notches, hang holes, degassing valves, and clear windows. Matte, gloss, soft-touch, spot UV, and hot-stamp foil finishes are all available at 100 units.
You move up a tier on the same press, with the same artwork and the same film — no supplier switch, no re-tooling, no new proof cycle. Quick Order runs from 100 units; Fully Custom starts at 2,500 and opens up custom sizes and structures; Enterprise covers high-volume scheduled programs.
Yes. Child-resistant pouches are available at the same 100-unit starting point, certified to ASTM D3475-20 and CPSC 16 CFR 1700.20. That matters for cannabis, edibles, nicotine, and any product where CR compliance is a condition of being on the shelf.
