Why Brands Choose Brand My Bags for Freeze-Dried Candy Packaging
Six things a freeze-dried candy brand can check before it spends a dollar with us.
<0.02 g
The moisture barrier is the whole productFreeze-dried candy has had every bit of water pulled out of it, and it wants that water back — left in open air it goes soft and sticky in hours. Film under 0.02 g/100in²/day is what keeps a bag on a shelf crunchy for months instead of a day.
2 sizes up
Puffed candy needs a bigger bagA rainbow chew triples in volume in the freeze-dryer. Two ounces of puffed candy fills the bag that holds eight ounces of gummies, which is why the sizes on this page run two steps up from the candy page — all the way to an 8×12×4 for a pound of party-size product.
Opaque
Colour that doesn't fade in the windowFreeze-dried candy sells on colour, and the pigments fade under light. The metallized layer is fully opaque, so the bag on the shelf by the door looks like the one at the back.
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 freeze-dried candy 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.
7–10 days
Printed and shipped freeProduction runs 7–10 business days from the day you approve the proof, and shipping anywhere in the US is free — quoted in the price you saw, not added at checkout.

Freeze-dried candy packaging questions
What size bag do I need for freeze-dried candy?
It runs two sizes bigger than regular candy: 2 oz fills a 4" × 6" × 2", 3–4 oz a 5" × 8" × 2.5", and a 5–6 oz grab-and-go bag — the size the big brands sell — a 6" × 9" × 3".
The 7″×11″×3.5″ takes an 8–10 oz family or variety pack and the 8″×12″×4″ about a pound for a party bag. Bulk 1.5 lb bags are bigger than any plate priced here — ask for a quote.
Will the bag keep freeze-dried candy crunchy?
Yes — metallized high-barrier film holds moisture under 0.02 g/100in²/day, which is what stops the candy pulling humidity back in and going sticky.
Seal it promptly after the freeze-dryer and it stays crisp for the shelf life; the resealable zipper covers the bag once it's open.
Do I need a desiccant packet?
Not for the bag's sake — the barrier does that job. Some brands add one for a very long shelf life or humid climates; the bag doesn't need it to keep candy crunchy.
Can I print a different bag for each candy?
Yes — each design is its own run from 500 bags with no plate or setup fees, so a bag per candy costs a few hundred dollars, not a few thousand.
What is the minimum order for custom freeze-dried candy bags?
500 bags on every size — most converters will not quote a freeze-dried candy 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 freeze-dried candy 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.
