Mylar bags come in all shapes and sizes, but choosing the right size mylar bag for your product isn’t always straightforward. One size does not fit all — the ideal bag depends on your product type, how much space you need for labels, and the sealing method you plan to use.
Consider Product Volume and Shape When Choosing the Right Size Mylar Bag
The size of your product is the first factor to consider. Common examples include:
- Flower: 3.5g, 7g, 14g, and 28g all require different bag sizes for proper fit.
- Edibles and Gummies: Often need wider bags to fit nutrition labels and dosage information.
- Vapes or Pre-rolls: Slim, vertical pouches provide a cleaner fit and better display.
Leave Room for Labeling and Sealing
When selecting your bag size, it’s important to think beyond just the product. You should also:
- Allow at least 0.5–1 inch of space for heat sealing.
- Plan for hang holes, zippers, or tear notches that add height requirements.
- Ensure enough surface area for compliance labels and branding.
Flat vs. Stand-Up Pouch
Another key choice is whether you need a flat pouch or a stand-up option.
- Flat Pouches: Ideal for slim products, samples, or mailers that need to stay compact.
- Stand-Up Pouches: Better for larger volumes and retail display since they sit upright on shelves.
