100-unit minimum. Printed on our own press in Oak Park, Michigan — no broker, no overseas re-quote. Degassing valves, CR zipper upgrades, high-resolution printing, and 7–10 business day rush available.
Brand My Bags produces custom stand-up pouches on its own press in Oak Park, Michigan — gusseted, self-standing flexible bags with a multi-layer Mylar barrier for coffee, jerky, snacks, supplements, cannabis, and pet food brands. We're the manufacturer, not a reseller.
Custom printed stand-up pouches start at 100 units per SKU — one of the lowest minimums available from a US manufacturer. Most converters require 5,000+. Because we control the press, that number isn't a marketing claim — it's the actual run we can profitably schedule. Orders scale to 100,000+ units on the same press with no artwork changes.
Every custom stand-up pouch we print is built from a three-layer polyester laminate: print-receptive PET outer, metallized MET-PET middle for the barrier, food-safe sealant inner that forms an airtight seam under our heat-bar press. The metallized middle layer is what separates a Mylar pouch from a standard poly bag — it's a physical vapor and oxygen block, not a coating.
Measured barrier performance on our standard metallized film: OTR below 0.1 cc/100 in²/day, MVTR below 0.02 g/100 in²/day. That's the same order of magnitude as a sealed glass jar. Recyclable PE-PE and PCR film constructions are available for brands with sustainability commitments.

Every chip below maps to a dedicated industry guide. Same pouch, tuned for the product inside.
Freshly-roasted beans release CO₂ for 5–7 days post-roast. A one-way degassing valve vents the gas while keeping oxygen locked out — the metallized barrier preserves volatile aroma compounds until the bag is opened. An alternative to nitrogen flushing: the valve manages off-gassing passively, no modified atmosphere equipment required.
Best with: 12oz format · Press-to-close zipper · One-way valve · Matte finish
Fats oxidize and turn rancid in permeable packaging within weeks. Mylar's oxygen-proof barrier extends shelf life past 6 months — reducing or eliminating the need for nitrogen flushing or oxygen absorbers in every bag. The food-safe inner sealant is direct-food-contact compliant, no barrier liner required.
Best with: 4oz–8oz format · Tear notch · Soft-touch finish
Hygroscopic powders clump the moment they meet humidity. The vapor barrier in our stand-ups keeps moisture out — and the wide front panel gives you room for nutrition facts, dosage scoops, and brand storytelling.
Best with: 1lb format · Wide-mouth zipper · Gloss finish
Cannabis terpenes are volatile aroma compounds — the same chemistry that makes coffee aroma so fragile. Smell-proof Mylar keeps the bouquet inside the bag, and child-resistant zipper upgrades meet state compliance.
Best with: 1/8oz–1oz format · CR zipper · Opaque film
Light fades pigments — paprika dulls, turmeric grays. The metallized layer blocks light entirely, so spice color stays vibrant on the shelf and in your customer's pantry for the full shelf life.
Best with: 2oz–4oz format · Window panel optional · Matte finish
Pet owners reach for the same bag two or three times a day. A press-to-close zipper means the freshness you ship is the freshness your customer experiences a month later — and full-color print competes on a crowded pet aisle.
Best with: 8oz–1lb format · Resealable zipper · Hang hole
100 units per SKU — one of the lowest MOQs from a US flexible-packaging manufacturer. Most converters require 5,000 or more. Brand My Bags prints on its own press in Oak Park, Michigan, which is why the number can stay that low without a broker premium layered on top.
Standard turnaround is 7–10 business days from proof approval. Rush orders are available — contact us to confirm press capacity before placing.
Brand My Bags produces custom stand-up pouches from 2″ × 2″ (sample / single-serve) to 20″ × 20″ (bulk / institutional). Most retail SKUs land in the 4″ × 6″ to 10″ × 14″ range. Custom sizes outside that range are available on request.
Press-to-close zippers, child-resistant (CR) zippers, one-way degassing valves, tear notches, hang holes, and tamper-evident closures. Finishes: matte, gloss, soft-touch, spot UV, and hot-stamp foil. Bottom styles: K-seal and plow-bottom.
Send print-ready artwork as an AI, PDF, or EPS file on the provided dieline, with all fonts outlined, at 300 DPI for raster elements, and with a 1/8″ bleed beyond the cut line. We send a digital proof before any pouch goes to press.
Our metallized barrier film holds an OTR below 0.1 cc/100 in²/day and MVTR below 0.02 g/100 in²/day — blocking the oxygen, moisture, and light that cause spoilage. That's the same barrier performance as a sealed glass jar, in a flexible format that ships flat.
A stand-up pouch has a gusseted bottom that lets it stand upright on a retail shelf. A lay-flat pouch (three-side-seal / pillow pouch) has no gusset and ships and stores flat. Both use the same Mylar film stack, so barrier performance is identical — the choice comes down to shelf presence vs. shipping efficiency.
Brand My Bags is the manufacturer. We print on our own press in Oak Park, Michigan — no broker in the middle, no re-quote from a third-party printer. That's why the 100-unit MOQ is real and the 7–10 business day turnaround is achievable.
