How Do We Make Mylar Bags?
Mylar bags are manufactured using a film, biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate (BoPET) film, which is less permeable to gases than plastic. Mylar bags are clear in their appearance, but usually have a silver effect due to the foil lamination or metalized coating.
It is a popular choice for food packaging due to its exceptional protection against air, moisture, and light. They can be used to store dry and low-fat food products like rice, tea, pasta, dried fruits, etc.

Printing is the most prominent and dominant feature of customization. You can print the brand name, logo, and instructions like preservation date and the temperatures to store the product in. Moreover, you can also add product warnings like the “best before” or any allergies to give a heads-up to your customers.
In addition to it, you can add different colorful patterns or designs to make the bag pop on the shelf. Here are some common printing options you can explore;
- Offset Printing: It is ideal for sharp colors and complex designs. Due to its large setup, it is a bit expensive but the cost is balanced with the increased number of orders. Hence, it is preferred for large-run productions with intricate designs. It is also cost-effective due to its consistency and vibrancy.
- Flexographic Printing: Since it does not require a large setup, it is rather cheaper than offset printing. It is also preferred for large-run productions but with simple designs.
- Digital Printing: It also does not require a large setup and is cost-effective for small-run productions. It offers a full coverage print of simple to complex designs. It is best known for its exceptional color quality but is not preferable for large productions.
- Screen Printing: It is a process where a mesh screen is used to force ink through it, onto the product. The screen has certain impervious areas, not allowing ink to pass through it, acting as a stencil for certain designs. It is suitable for simple yet high-contrast visuals.

Color Options
We use two color systems for the enhanced printing process; PMS and CMYK.
Pantone Matching System (PMS) is a modern way of doing things. It offers consistency through a matching system by offering exact shades of your desire. You can get the very shade by referring to it using the code allocated to the color. However, it is not preferred for complex designs as it can become costly.
On the other hand, we have CMYK. This system uses four colors: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (Black). It offers a large variety of hues. As a result, you can cover complex designs and full-coverage images, without breaking the bank.
Coating Options
In addition to the printing options, you can also get benefits from our different coating options to enhance the aesthetic functionality of your Mylar Bag. These coatings not only enhance the aesthetic appeal but also make your bag more durable.
You can use a matte coating to give your bag a more smooth and sophisticated look. Or you can add gloss coating to make the colors pop. In addition to these, you can also add UV coating which gives off a glossy finish on the treated areas and protects the print from fading. Moreover, you can also add foil coating to customize premium Mylar bags for freeze-drying.
Sealing Options
Sealing is the main part of the preservation process of Mylar freeze dry bags for packaging. It totally depends on the storage needs but heat seal is widely preferred for reliable and long-term storage. Due to its air-tight, tamper-proof results, it is the most effective sealing method. It ensures protection against oxygen and moisture and is ideal for long-term storage.
Furthermore, you can also try zip-lock seals. They are more convenient for short-term storage and frequent access. These bags are reusable, adding to their functionality and making them an attractive pick.
