Why Brands Choose Brand My Bags for Chips Packaging
Six things a chips brand can check before it spends a dollar with us.
<0.1 cc
Frying oil that doesn't go rancidA chip is mostly oil by calorie, and oil oxidizes the moment it meets air. Metallized film under 0.1 cc/100in²/day keeps oxygen out and holds whatever atmosphere your sealer puts in, so the last chip tastes like the first.
<0.02 g
Crunch that survives the shelfChips go soft one way: humidity gets in. Film under 0.02 g/100in²/day keeps it out — on a retail shelf, in a humid stockroom, or in a lunchbox — which is the whole difference between crisp and stale.
Opaque
Light-blocking, so flavor holdsLight accelerates the same oxidation oxygen starts. The metallized layer is fully opaque, which is why chip bags have always been metallized — and why a clear window is the wrong call for this category.
Oak Park, Michigan
We own the pressesYour bags are printed on our own equipment in Oak Park, Michigan. Most "manufacturers" in this category are brokers reselling an overseas run — there is nobody between your file and our press.
500 bags
500 bags, not 5,000Most converters will not quote a chip brand under 5,000 units. Quick Order starts at 500, with no plate fee and no setup fee, so a new SKU costs a few hundred dollars to test instead of a few thousand.

Chip packaging questions
What size bag do I need for 5 oz of chips?
An 8" × 12" × 4" stand-up pouch — chips are very light for their volume, so a 5 oz share bag needs the largest size on this page.
The 5″×7″ flat pouch suits a 1 oz single-serve and the 6″×9″×3″ stand-up a 2.5 oz grab-and-go. If you sell a larger family size, ask for a quote on a bigger plate.
Will the bag keep chips from going stale?
Yes — metallized high-barrier film holds moisture under 0.02 g/100in²/day and oxygen under 0.1 cc/100in²/day, which are the two things that make a chip go soft and then rancid.
Do you nitrogen-flush the bags?
No — the bags arrive open and you seal them, so any nitrogen flush happens on your line; the film is built to hold that atmosphere once it's sealed in.
Can I get a window to show the chips?
You can, but for this category we'd talk you out of it — light speeds the oxidation that makes chip oil go rancid, which is why chip bags are metallized in the first place.
What is the minimum order for custom chip bags?
500 bags on every size — most converters will not quote a chip brand under 5,000 per run.
Every size, from the smallest flat pouch to the 8" × 12" × 4", starts at 500 bags — a tenth of the run most converters ask for, which is what makes testing a new SKU possible without committing to a run you have never sold a unit of.
How long does custom chip bags take?
About 7–10 business days from the day you approve your proof, because every bag is printed in-house in Oak Park, Michigan.
