Mylar Bags

Mylar bags are made from a unique plastic film called BoPET (biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate). BoPET is durable, flexible, and smooth. A thin layer of aluminum is added to the mylar film, which is why mylar looks metallic, shiny, and serves as a barrier to light, moisture, and oxygen. The bags are available in many sizes and thicknesses so that you can select the one that works best for you. Mylar bags are food safe and help to keep food fresh. They are also great for keeping electronic devices moisture-free and documents (or paper in general) safe and dry.

Top Benefits Of Using Mylar Bags For Storage 

From storing products securely to protecting them against damaging environmental factors, mylar packaging bags are the best solution. Have a look at the top benefits of using these bags;

Secure Your Food Items Effectively

Sensitive items, including edibles, medicinal herbs, and prescriptions, are usually stored in a mylar bag. Because of ultra-shielded protective layers of Mylar, stored products stay fresh and safe for a longer time. Its protective layers are moisture–resistant, air-resistant, and odor-resistant. Additionally,​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ these bags have oxygen barriers at their surface, which are responsible for the long storage of dried fruits. As an example, if you put nuts in bags that have oxygen absorbers, they will keep fresh for 20-25 years.

Resealable Closures

One of the best ways to extend the lifetime of your branded products is to go for resealable bags. Resealability of these packaging bags allows customers to use them again and again without compromising quality. After the first use, these bags can be sealed easily with the help of an efficient heat ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌sealer.

Best customer service and LOVE the end result

Paul was amazing from start to finish. First of all, he quoted me a competitive price on my custom reed diffuser packaging. He gave me the best price in the market. He was helpful in answering my gazillion questions (very quickly) and he was very patient with me when it came to my design requests. In all honesty, I thought he would give up on me at some point but he didn't :-). Then he showed me my mockups, communicated when they were in printing and off for shipping. He's very transparent, super nice and helpful person. I will keep him as my permanent contact for customized packaging designs when I need restocking. Definitely order from him. Paul You're a Legend!
