100-unit minimum. Three-side-seal Mylar with OTR below 0.1 cc/100 in²/day — same barrier as our stand-ups, printed in-house in Oak Park, Michigan. No broker, no overseas re-quote.
Brand My Bags produces custom printed lay-flat pouches on its own press in Oak Park, Michigan — gusset-free, three-side-seal Mylar bags for subscription boxes, sample sachets, single-serve programs, and DTC mailers. We're the manufacturer.
Also called pillow pouches, flat pouches, or three-side-seal (3SS) bags, lay-flat pouches use the same metallized Mylar film stack as our stand-up line — identical barrier performance (OTR <0.1 cc/100 in²/day, MVTR <0.02 g/100 in²/day), slimmer profile, and lower dimensional weight on every outbound shipment. Custom printed in full-color CMYK at 100-unit MOQ.
Custom printed lay-flat pouches — three-side-seal (3SS) construction — use the same three-layer Mylar laminate as our stand-up line: print-receptive PET outer, metallized MET-PET middle for the vapor and oxygen barrier, food-safe sealant inner. The metallized middle layer is a physical barrier, not a coating. Measured performance: OTR below 0.1 cc/100 in²/day, MVTR below 0.02 g/100 in²/day.
Without a gusset, every pouch ships and stores flat — cutting inbound freight, warehouse cube, and outbound dimensional weight without trading away any of the barrier protection. Same print, same film, leaner logistics.

Three-side-seal Mylar lay-flats work across every category that needs barrier protection in a slim, mailer-efficient form factor. Every chip below maps to a dedicated industry guide.
When every cubic inch of a mailer matters, the lay-flat profile lets you fit more SKUs per box without cracking the dimensional-weight ceiling. Same Mylar barrier, half the cube.
Best with: 4″×6″ format · Heat-seal · Matte finish
A 2″ × 2″ Mylar sample pouch is the most cost-effective way to put your product in a customer's hand at a trade show, in an unboxing experience, or as a free-with-purchase add-on. 100-unit MOQ makes pilot runs and market tests realistic without warehouse risk.
Best with: 2″–3″ format · Tear notch · Gloss finish
Skincare brands ship single-use masks, serums, and cleansers in lay-flat pouches because the format reads premium, ships flat, and carries the brand artwork edge-to-edge.
Best with: 3″–4″ format · Soft-touch finish · Foil accent
Single-dose powders and unit-dose pharmaceuticals demand a vapor barrier that holds — even in glove-compartment-temperature shipping. Mylar's metallized layer delivers the same barrier whether the bag has a gusset or not.
Best with: 2″–4″ format · Heat-seal · Tamper-evident
Hotel programs, gift sets, and sampler boxes ship single-pour coffee in lay-flats because they tile cleanly into a tray and stack low in a mailer. The full-color front panel still hits the brand mark.
Best with: 4″×5″ format · Heat-seal · Matte finish
Lay-flat Mylar protects the terpene profile of pre-rolls in the same way it does for flower — and the slim profile fits compliance display fixtures designed for mailers, not jars.
Best with: 3″–5″ format · CR upgrade · Opaque film
A lay-flat pouch is a three-side-sealed flexible bag with no bottom gusset — it ships and stores flat. Also called a pillow pouch, flat pouch, or three-side-seal (3SS) bag, the format is standard for sample sachets, single-serve packets, and DTC subscription mailers where dimensional weight and storage cube matter.
100 units per SKU — one of the lowest MOQs from a US flexible-packaging manufacturer. Most converters require 5,000+. Because Brand My Bags controls its own press in Oak Park, Michigan, the 100-unit minimum is real and repeatable, with no overseas re-quote risk.

Coffee single-pours, supplement samples, cannabis pre-rolls, cosmetic single-use packets, spice sachets, and pet-treat samples. Any product sold in a slim, single-serve, or sample format benefits from the flat profile — same Mylar barrier as a stand-up pouch, lower dimensional weight per shipment.
Yes. Lay-flat and stand-up pouches use the same film stack — PET outer, metallized MET-PET middle (OTR below 0.1 cc/100 in²/day, MVTR below 0.02 g/100 in²/day), food-safe sealant inner. Barrier performance is identical. Only the bottom construction differs.
A lay-flat pouch has no bottom gusset and ships flat — ideal for DTC mailers, sample sachets, and subscription boxes. A stand-up pouch has a gusseted bottom that lets it stand on a retail shelf. Both use the same Mylar film and 100-unit MOQ. Choose by use case: flat for shipping efficiency, stand-up for shelf presence.
Matte, gloss, soft-touch, spot UV, and hot-stamp foil. Full-color CMYK prints across the entire pouch surface at high-resolution print fidelity. Every finish option is available on the same lay-flat construction.
