Cannabis mylar bags are foil-laminated pouches printed with your brand and sized for flower, pre-rolls, edibles or concentrates, built to keep light, air and smell away from the product. TBPB prints them custom with no minimum order, and if you bring a written quote for the same specs we will beat it.
Why brands use mylar for cannabis
Light and oxygen are the two things that age dried flower fastest, and mylar blocks both far better than clear plastic. The laminate has an outer printable film, a barrier layer in the middle and a heat-seal layer inside, so the bag can be sealed shut and stay shut. Many bags also hold odour reasonably well, which matters on a shelf, in a delivery bag or at a market stall. That barrier is the difference between a tidy retail pack and a bag that smells before it is opened.
Formats that suit different products
The shape should follow the product. Stand-up pouches with a bottom gusset sit well on a shelf and hold loose flower. Flat pouches suit single-use samples and pre-roll packs. Gusseted bags with a zipper suit larger sizes where the customer reopens them. For broader choice, see our child resistant mylar bags, our smell proof mylar bags and our dispensary mylar bags.
The rest of the options are in the mylar bags category.
Child-resistant packaging, honestly
This is the part where many suppliers are vague. Child-resistant rules differ between states and products, and a bag with a zipper is not automatically child-resistant. A compliant pack usually needs a closure that has been tested and certified, and the exact requirement is set by your state and product type. TBPB prints the bags and does not certify a design for you. If you need a child-resistant format, tell us which closure you plan to use and confirm the compliance requirements with your own regulatory adviser before you order.
Labelling and print
State rules often require specific label content, such as warning statements, THC content, batch numbers and universal symbols, and some require opaque, non-attractive-to-children designs. We print the artwork you supply and cannot check it for compliance. Space for these panels is easier to plan before artwork is finished than after, so ask for the dieline first. Full-colour printing in matte or gloss is standard, and a clear window is possible, though it lets in some light.
- Formats: stand-up, flat, gusseted, with or without a zipper

- Quantity: no minimum order, one test bag is fine
Sizing a bag
Bag sizes are usually quoted by weight, but flower density varies a lot between strains. A bag that holds an eighth of dense flower may hold less of a fluffy strain. Ask for a sample in your target size and fill it with your actual product before you approve a run. Leave room at the top for sealing and a zipper if you use one.
What mylar will not do
Mylar slows degradation, but it does not stop it, and it is not a substitute for proper humidity control. Flower packed too dry or too moist will still suffer inside a perfect bag. Odour barriers also vary: a well-sealed bag holds smell well, while a bag with a loose zipper and a pinhole will not. Test with your own product, in the real shipping conditions, before you scale up.

Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum order for custom cannabis mylar bags?
There is no minimum order. You can order a single test bag or thousands for a full product line. The price-beat guarantee applies at any quantity.
Are cannabis mylar bags child resistant?
Not automatically. A zipper alone does not make a bag child-resistant. Requirements vary by state, and compliant packs usually need a tested, certified closure. Confirm what applies with your own regulatory adviser.
Do mylar bags keep cannabis fresh?
The foil laminate blocks light and slows oxygen and moisture, which helps keep dried flower from degrading as quickly as it would in clear plastic. Sealed correctly, it also holds in smell.
What size mylar bag do I need for an eighth?
Density varies, so the size depends on your flower. Order a sample in your target size and fill it with actual product. Leave room for the seal and zipper before you approve a run.
Can you print labeling on cannabis mylar bags?
We print the artwork you supply, including warnings and batch panels, but we do not check it for compliance. Check state labeling rules before finalising your design.
Can mylar bags have a window?
Yes, a clear window lets customers see the product. It admits some light, so it suits fast-selling products better than long-term storage. Opaque bags protect flower for longer.
