Custom Mylar Bags for Cannabis

Cannabis packaging has to block light, contain odour, hold a moisture barrier, and pass child-resistance testing — four jobs at once, where most food packaging only has to do one.

Flower is a living agricultural product that keeps changing after it is bagged. The bag is not a wrapper around a finished good; it is the last piece of processing equipment the product ever touches, and it decides how the flower smells and tests when a customer finally opens it.

An ounce of cannabis flower needs a 6" × 9" × 3" stand-up pouch, because uncompressed flower runs about 0.11 g/cc and takes far more room than its weight suggests.

This is the single most common sizing mistake. Buyers size the bag against a weight chart built for powders, order something far too small, and end up crushing the flower to make it fit — which breaks trichomes and costs them the potency they just paid to grow.

Yes — child-resistant closures are certified to ASTM D3475-20 and CPSC 16 CFR 1700.20, the two standards regulated cannabis markets require.

Certification applies to the closure, not the artwork, so the same printed design can run with or without a child-resistant zipper. That matters if you sell into several states with different rules and do not want to pay for two separate print runs.

Yes — a metallized mylar bag with a properly sealed zipper is airtight, so odour is contained until the bag is opened.

Most state regulations require odour-proof packaging for dispensary and delivery products. The barrier film does the work; a paper-look or clear bag will not pass, whatever the label claims.

500 bags — most converters will not quote a cannabis brand under 5,000 per run.

That difference is what makes single-strain drops and seasonal releases possible. Run 500 of a new strain, see whether it sells, then climb the price ladder on the ones that do instead of committing thousands of dollars to a design you have never tested.

About 7–10 business days from the day you approve your proof, because every bag is printed in-house in Oak Park, Michigan.

Nothing is routed through a broker, so when a run needs to move faster there is a real production team to call rather than a sales rep relaying messages to a factory they have never visited.
