A stand up mylar bag is the format that turned flexible packaging into a retail contender. A bottom gusset lets the bag stand on its own on a shelf or a peg, so it faces the shopper like a box while keeping the low cost and light weight of a pouch. For coffee, snacks, protein, pet treats, and dry goods, it is the default retail bag for a reason.
Under the print, it does the real job of keeping product fresh. Foil laminate mylar in the 3.5 to 5 mil range blocks light, oxygen, and moisture, a resealable zipper keeps multi serving products fresh between uses, and a tear notch opens it cleanly. Add a euro slot or hang hole to hang it on a pegboard, and a clear window to show the product. It prints edge to edge, so the front is your shelf billboard.
We make custom stand up mylar bags in your size and fill range with no minimum order, so a new brand can test a design on a small run and scale when it sells, at the best price. Send us the product, the fill weight, and your shelf life target and we will spec the bag and quote it.
Stand up mylar bag FAQ
What is a stand up mylar bag?
A foil laminate pouch with a bottom gusset that lets it stand upright on a shelf or peg. It keeps the low cost and light weight of a pouch while facing the shopper like a box, which makes it the default retail bag for coffee, snacks, and dry goods.
How much can a stand up pouch hold?
Stand up mylar bags run from small two ounce sample sizes up to five pound food bags, depending on the gusset and dimensions. Size the bag to the fill volume, not just the weight, since light, airy products take more space.
Can stand up mylar bags hang on a peg?
Yes. A euro slot or a round hang hole die cut into the top seal lets the bag hang on a pegboard hook, which suits smaller retail bags. Tell us if your bag needs to hang and we will add the hole.
Is there a minimum order for stand up mylar bags?
No. We make custom stand up mylar bags with no minimum order, so you can test a size and design on a small run before scaling, at the best price.
