Custom Half Ounce Mylar Bags

Custom half ounce mylar bags are smell proof, foil-lined barrier pouches sized to hold 14 grams of flower, herbs, or dry goods, printed with your brand’s artwork. Available with resealable zippers, child resistant closures, and matte or gloss finishes, they protect product freshness while turning every package into a retail-ready marketing tool.

Your Product Deserves Better Than a Plain Black Bag

Walk into any dispensary or smoke shop and you’ll see the problem instantly: shelves full of products in identical, unbranded pouches. The flower inside might be exceptional, but the packaging says nothing. Customers can’t tell your brand from the one sitting next to it, and repeat buyers have no logo to look for.

There’s a second problem most brands discover the hard way. Generic stock bags often fail where it matters: seals split, odors leak, light degrades terpenes and potency, and non-compliant closures create legal exposure in regulated states.

Custom half ounce mylar bags solve both problems at once. You get certified barrier protection that keeps product fresh and compliant, plus full-color printed branding that makes your product recognizable on a crowded shelf. This page covers exactly what goes into a quality custom mylar bag, how the ordering process works, and what to look for in a manufacturing partner.

What Is Custom Half Ounce Mylar Bag Manufacturing?

Half ounce mylar bags, also called 14 gram mylar bags or half oz mylar bags, are flexible packaging pouches built from multi-layer laminated film, typically PET (mylar), aluminum foil, and food-grade polyethylene. The foil layer is what makes these bags genuinely smell proof and creates a near-total barrier against oxygen, moisture, and UV light: the three forces that degrade flower, herbs, edibles, and powders fastest.

Custom manufacturing means the bag is built to your specifications rather than pulled from a warehouse shelf. That includes:

• Your printed artwork full-color digital or rotogravure printing across the entire bag surface, edge to edge
• Your size and format standard half ounce dimensions (typically 5″ x 8.1″ with a 2.4″ bottom gusset) or fully custom dimensions
• Your features child resistant zippers, standard resealable zippers, tear notches, hang holes, clear windows, and gas-release valves
• Your finish matte mylar bags for a premium, soft-touch look; gloss mylar bags for vibrant color pop; or special effects like spot UV, holographic film, and metallic foil accents

The result is barrier packaging that performs like industrial flexible packaging and sells like retail branding.

Why Choose ONO Custom Boxes for Your Mylar Packaging

After more than a decade manufacturing flexible packaging for cannabis, CBD, food, and nutraceutical brands across the United States, we’ve learned what actually matters to the businesses ordering these bags, and we’ve built our service around it.

1. Low minimums that respect growing brands. Most overseas manufacturers demand 10,000+ units per design. We offer minimums starting at 500 bags, so you can test a new strain, flavor, or product line without warehousing a year’s worth of inventory.
2. Compliance built in, not bolted on. Our child resistant mylar bags meet ASTM D3475 and 16 CFR 1700.20 standards required in regulated cannabis markets. We stay current on state-by-state labeling and opacity requirements so your packaging passes inspection the first time.
3. True smell proof construction. We use genuine foil mylar bags with a minimum 4-mil laminated structure, not thin metallized film that lets odor and oxygen creep through. Every production run is heat-seal tested.
4. Free design support and pre-production proofs. Our in-house design team prepares print-ready dielines, checks your artwork for compliance issues, and sends digital proofs (physical samples on request) before anything goes to press.
5. Nationwide service with realistic timelines. Standard production runs ship in 10–15 business days after proof approval, with rush options available. We serve clients in all 50 states.

Our Custom Half Ounce Mylar Bag Options in Detail

Sizes and Formats

The standard half ounce bag holds 14 grams of flower comfortably with room for a humidity pack. We produce stand up mylar bags (gusseted pouches that display upright on shelves), flat pouches, and three-side-seal bags. If your product is denser or fluffier than average, we’ll adjust dimensions so the fill looks full, not slack.

Barrier and Material Specifications

Choose from foil-lined opaque construction for maximum light protection, clear-front/foil-back hybrids that showcase the product, or fully windowed designs with UV-filtering film. All structures are food-grade, FDA-compliant, and heat-sealable.

Closures and Functional Features

• Standard press-to-close resealable mylar bags zippers
• Certified child resistant zipper closures for regulated markets
• Tear notches for clean opening
• Tin-tie and heat-seal-only options for single-use formats
• Hang holes and euro slots for pegboard retail display

Printing and Finishes

We print up to 10 colors with photographic-quality registration. Popular options include soft-touch matte lamination, high-gloss finishes, spot gloss over matte for tactile contrast, holographic and metallic substrates, and registered embossing. Variable printing for strain names, batch numbers, and QR codes is available within a single run.

Wholesale and Private Label Programs

For dispensary chains, distributors, and private label companies, our wholesale half ounce mylar bags program offers tiered volume pricing, blanket purchase orders with scheduled releases, and warehousing so you draw down inventory as needed without large upfront storage costs.

Key Benefits: What Custom Printed Half Ounce Mylar Bags Do for Your Business

• Longer shelf life, fewer returns. The foil barrier blocks oxygen and moisture transmission, keeping flower at proper humidity and preventing terpene loss. Products stay sellable for months instead of weeks.
• Brand recognition that compounds. Half ounce mylar bags with logo printing turn every sale into advertising. Customers photograph distinctive packaging, recognize it on shelves, and ask for it by name. Plain bags can’t do any of that.
• Perceived value you can price into. Premium mylar bags with matte finishes and spot UV consistently support higher retail price points. Packaging is the first quality signal a customer receives, and it shapes what they’re willing to pay.
• Regulatory peace of mind. Certified child resistant construction and compliant opacity remove a major legal risk in cannabis markets, and tamper-evident seals build trust in food and nutraceutical categories.
• Lower total packaging cost. Compared to rigid jars and boxes, flexible packaging bags cost less per unit, ship flat, store in a fraction of the space, and fill faster on production lines.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do custom half ounce mylar bags cost?

Pricing depends on quantity, material structure, and features. As a guide, fully custom printed half ounce bags typically range from roughly $0.15–$0.60 per unit, with per-bag cost dropping sharply at higher volumes. Child resistant zippers and specialty finishes add modestly to the unit price. Request a quote for exact pricing on your specifications.

What is the minimum order quantity?

Our custom printing minimums start at 500 bags per design, far below the industry-standard 5,000–10,000. Volume discounts begin at 1,000 units.

Are half ounce mylar bags really smell proof?

Yes, when properly constructed. True smell proof performance requires a foil layer and strong heat seals. Thin, metallized-only bags often leak odor at the seams. Our bags use laminated foil structures and are seal-tested on every run.

Are your child resistant bags compliant for cannabis markets?

Our child resistant closures are certified to ASTM D3475 and 16 CFR 1700.20, the standards referenced by regulated state cannabis programs. We’ll also review your artwork against your state’s opacity and labeling rules during proofing.

How long does production take?

Digital proofs are ready within 2–3 business days of receiving artwork. Standard production runs ship 10–15 business days after proof approval. Rush production is available for time-sensitive launches.

Can I order multiple designs or strain names in one run?

Yes. Digital printing lets us run multiple artwork versions, strain names, or flavor variants within a single order, often with no extra plate charges, which is ideal for brands managing many SKUs.

What file format do you need for my artwork?

Print-ready vector files (AI, EPS, or PDF) with outlined fonts work best. If you only have a logo image, our design team can rebuild it in vector format and prepare the full dieline for you at no charge.
