Custom frozen food packaging.
Custom frozen food packaging that stops freezer burn — freezer-rated mylar with OTR under 0.1 cc/100in²/day, 100-unit MOQ, SQF certified, printed in Michigan.
Custom frozen food packaging that actually blocks freezer burn
Freezer burn isn't a storage problem — it's a packaging spec problem. Multi-layer metallized mylar stops freezer burn because it blocks the oxygen and moisture migration that crystallizes water out of frozen products. Standard polyethylene bags crack at sustained sub-zero temperatures, seals fail on freeze-thaw cycles, and moisture migrates through the film and onto the product. Brand My Bags produces custom frozen food packaging in Oak Park, Michigan: freezer-rated stand-up pouches, lay-flat bags, and rollstock for frozen food manufacturers, starting at 100 units.
The spec that matters is OTR (oxygen transmission rate) and MVTR (moisture vapor transmission rate). Our metallized mylar achieves OTR under 0.1 cc/100in²/day and MVTR under 0.02 g/100in²/day — the numbers that determine whether frozen meat, seafood, fruit, or prepared meals stay at spec through distribution and retail. A bag that looks premium but has a permeable barrier is still letting freezer burn happen; it just takes a few more weeks to show.
We run every frozen food format: stand-up pouches for retail freezer shelf presence, lay-flat pouches for efficient freezer stacking and e-commerce shipments, and rollstock for VFFS and HFFS automated filling lines. Every format is printed full-surface with food-safe inks — nutrition panels, cooking instructions, QR codes, and brand graphics — without a separate label application step. SQF certified from first film roll to finished pouch. See our food manufacturer packaging and ready-to-eat food packaging for related product lines.
What does a frozen food bag actually have to do?
A frozen food bag has to block oxygen and moisture, stay flexible at sub-zero temperatures, and survive freeze-thaw transit cycles without seal failure. Freezer burn is moisture leaving the product and ice crystals forming where the food used to be — driven by oxygen and moisture permeating the packaging film. That's why bag material matters more in the freezer than anywhere else in the supply chain. As frozen food expands up to 9% during the freeze cycle, the film and seals also need to handle that internal pressure without delaminating.
Our metallized mylar construction achieves OTR under 0.1 cc/100 in²/day and MVTR under 0.02 g/100 in²/day. We also offer MAP-compatible pouches for processors who nitrogen-flush or vacuum-seal before freezing — a meaningful shelf-life extension without additives. The barrier film spec is the same whether you're running a 100-unit pilot run of a new frozen meal SKU or scaling into full retail distribution.
Beyond barrier performance, the bag has to survive handling. Frozen foods get stacked, dropped, and dragged across metal freezer shelving. Our heavy-duty laminate resists puncture and abrasion at freezer temperatures where thinner films go brittle. Tear notches and resealable zippers are tested to function at temperature — not just at ambient conditions — because a zipper that fails in a -10°F freezer is a returns problem your retailer will note.
Why frozen food manufacturers choose Brand My Bags
Freezer burn prevention
Metallized mylar with OTR under 0.1 cc/100in²/day and MVTR under 0.02 g/100in²/day stops the oxygen and moisture migration that causes freezer burn — quantified, not just claimed.
Sub-zero structural integrity
Freezer-grade sealant stays flexible and maintains seal integrity at freezer temperatures. No cracking, no delamination, no seal failure during the freeze-thaw cycles that happen in every transit truck.
MAP compatible
Pouches compatible with nitrogen flushing and vacuum sealing for manufacturers who use modified atmosphere packaging to extend frozen shelf life without preservatives.
Full-surface food-safe printing
Nutrition panels, cooking instructions, QR codes, UPC barcodes, and brand graphics — all printed food-safe in-house. No third-party labeling step, no additional lead time.
