Flat mylar bags are bags made from mylar that stay flat. They don't stand up by themselves. They're a common way to package items that need to stay safe from air, moisture, and light.

Plus Printers makes flat mylar bags for businesses across the USA. We've been doing this for over 10 years. We work with small online stores, food companies, cannabis brands, and supplement makers. Anyone who wants to keep products fresh uses these bags.

The bags come flat. You put your product in, then seal the top. They don't take up much space to store. A stack of 1000 flat bags fits in a small spot. Compare that to 1000 jars or boxes, they need a lot more room.

Most companies make you buy at least 10,000 or 25,000 bags. That's too many for small businesses or when you're just starting. With us, you can order 500 flat mylar bags. Or 1000. Or any amount that fits your needs.

Why Businesses Use Flat Mylar Bags

These bags protect products well. The mylar has aluminum layers that block oxygen, moisture, and light. This keeps food fresh longer than normal plastic bags. If you use it for coffee, it doesn't lose its flavor. Dried fruit stays good as well. Supplements don't get moist and clump. Snacks stay crunchy. No matter what you pack, flat mylar bags help it last.

The bags are very light in weight. Shipping costs less because of the weight. Light packaging saves money on every shipment. Over time, with many orders, it adds up. Moreover, storing them is easy too. Empty flat bags stack very easily. They don't take up much room like hard containers. This helps if you have a small space or work from home.

Furthermore, they're cheaper than many options. Like jars and boxes cost more as compared to flat mylar bags. Flat mylar bags give good protection for less money per bag. This keeps your prices low.

What Materials We Use and The Protection It Provides

Mylar is the material that protects them so well. Normal plastic lets air and moisture in over time. Mylar stops it. They have layers. Outer polyester for strength. Middle aluminum for blocking. Inner polyethylene that's safe and seals.

The aluminum blocks oxygen that makes food bad. Blocks moisture that causes clumps or sogginess. Blocks light that hurts some products. Thickness helps too. Thin ones, about 3 mil are used for light items. Standard sizes are 3.5 to 5 mil. Thick up to 7 mil for heavy or sharp things.

For food, we use food-grade materials. Safe for edibles, snacks, candy, dried food, supplements. We don’t compromise on quality at all.

The Type Of Sealing and Closures

You need a good seal for protection. Weak seals let air in. Heat sealing is best. Use a heat sealer to melt and close it tight. Airtight. Most businesses use this for volume.

Some have zip locks. Easy to open and close again. Good for things used over time, like coffee or snacks. Not as tight as a heat seal, but handy. Some have both. Heat seal first for shipping. Cut open, then use zip for customers. Moreover, tear notches help open without tools. Small cut to tear easy. Customers like it.

Get Custom Printing for Your Brand Through Plus Printers

Plain bags work, but they don’t explain anything about your brand. Custom printing adds your logo, name, design. We at Plus Printers print full color right on the bag that looks even more sharp on smooth mylar.

You either get it printed one side or both. One side is cheaper. If you get it printed on both, done in mostly large mylar bags, it will give a better feel and look. For food, include labels like ingredients, nutrition, warnings, weight. We help make it legal and nice.
