Custom Mylar Bags & Mylar Packaging
ZEE Packaging creates custom Mylar bags with high-quality printing, durable materials, and finishes as per your requirements. These bags are perfect for protecting products while giving your packaging a professional, attractive and shelf-ready appearance.
Mylar is a trade name for BOPET film which can provide strong barriers against oxygen, moisture, light, and odour when used in suitable multilayer packaging structures. That's why a mylar bag suits long shelf life products. These bags are commonly used across food & snacks, coffee & tea, pet food, cosmetics, supplements, pharmaceuticals, electronics, apparel accessories and household products. We produce a lot of mylar bag work at ZEE Packaging and barrier performance is why clients come here.
Almost Nothing Gets Through
A mylar bag blocks more oxygen, moisture, light and odour than any other flexible film.
- Oxygen transmission drops near zero with foil
- Moisture is stopped in both directions
- Light cannot reach the product at all
- Odour stays inside rather than escaping
- A mylar bag holds shelf life far longer than plain film
- The film resists punctures better than PE alone
Most brands choose a mylar bag because not any other type of packaging held the product long enough on shelf.
Where The Barrier Earns It
There are many industries that uses these bags but some products genuinely need this much protection:
- Coffee, where oxygen destroys aroma quickly
- Freeze dried and dehydrated foods
- Supplements and powders with long shelf life
- Cannabis and botanicals, where odour matters
- Electronics, in an anti static mylar bag
- Long term storage measured in years
ZEE Packaging offers custom Mylar bags in mutiple formats to suit different products. Choose as per your need we do all type of these bags:
- Stand up bag with a bottom gusset
- Lay flat format the simplest, cheapest build
- Flat bottom bag standing square on a shelf
- Resealable zipper for multi use products
- Window bag a clear panel showing product
- Child resistant closure where regulation requires
Sizes We Print Regular
ZEE Packaging offers Mylar bags in a wide range of sizes and can also produce fully custom sizes to match your product and packaging requirements:
- 3.5g and 7g mylar bag sizes for botanicals
- 100g for samples and trial sizes
- 250g for coffee and speciality products
- 500g for a larger retail fill
- 1kg for bulk powders and dry goods
- Custom sizes matched to your product
Film And Construction
- BOPET outer for strength and print quality
- Aluminium foil or metallised layer as the barrier
- Polyethylene inner for a reliable heat seal
- Clear panels where product should be visible
- Anti static grades for electronics
- Food grade certified film throughout
Thickness is worth specifying properly. A thin mylar bag punctures on a sharp product, and a puncture defeats the barrier.
The Honest Recycling Picture
- A foil laminated mylar bag is not curbside recyclable
- Mono material recycles, with a weaker barrier
- Compostable films cannot match this level of protection
- Longer shelf life means less product wasted
- Soy based ink through the whole run
- Right sizing so less film is used
There is no way around this. The layers that make a mylar bag work are what make it hard to recycle, and we would rather say so.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do these mylar bags cost?
Rough estimate is $0.08 to $0.30 lay flat, $0.15 to $0.55 stand up with a zipper and $0.25 to $0.85 child resistant at moderate volume. Shipping is included. This is estimate only, so ask us for a exact quote.
How long will product keep in a mylar bag?
Years rather than months on a full foil build, depending on the product and the seal.
Is a mylar pouch really odour proof?
On a foil laminate, effectively yes. Metallised films leak slightly more, which matters for some products.
Which mylar pouch thickness should we order?
It follows from the product. Sharp edges need more, since a puncture leaves no barrier.
Can it be resealed?
With a zipper, and most multi use products need one. A single use mylar bag does not.
Do you offer child resistant closures?
We do where regulation demands it. Tell us your market and we confirm the spec.
Are these bags recyclable?
Not curbside on a foil structure, and we would not claim otherwise. Mono material trades barrier for recyclability.
