Mylar Bags — The Gold Standard in Regulated Packaging

 
In industries where freshness, compliance, and shelf appeal define success, one material continues to stand the test of time; Mylar.
Originally developed for aerospace applications, Mylar’s durability and barrier strength have made it a cornerstone of packaging across cannabis, food, nutraceutical, and wellness markets. Its ability to preserve product quality while supporting brand presentation has made it a trusted choice from small-batch producers to national brands.

 


Performance Across Regulated Markets

As packaging standards tighten across industries, the need for versatile, compliant, and protective materials has never been greater. According to Packaging World, demand for flexible, multilayer packaging films like Mylar has grown more than 8% year-over-year in regulated consumer markets due to their superior moisture and light barrier performance. 
  • Cannabis: Must meet child-resistant and opacity requirements under ASTM standards.
  • Food & Beverage: Requires FDA-compliant, airtight materials that extend freshness.
  • Nutraceuticals & Supplements: Demand UV and moisture barriers to maintain potency.
  • Pet & Specialty Goods: Rely on tamper-evident formats that maintain aroma and quality.
     
Mylar meets all of these needs — combining compliance, protection, and brandability in a single, flexible format.

Mylar Bags, Refined by DIZPOT

At DIZPOT, we’ve evolved our Mylar packaging line to meet the unique needs of regulated industries. From one-gram retail pouches to one-pound bulk formats, our designs balance:
  • Protection – Multi-layered barrier materials that block oxygen, moisture, and light.
  • Compliance – Certified child-resistant and tamper-evident options available.
  • Customization – Matte, gloss, metallic, and true foil finishes with full-surface print coverage.
  • Sustainability – Available in recyclable and post-consumer resin (PCR) materials.
Whether you’re protecting premium flower, powdered supplements, or artisan coffee, our Mylar bags are engineered to perform. Studies have shown that Mylar’s barrier layers can reduce oxygen transmission by over 99.9%, significantly extending shelf life for oxygen-sensitive products.

Breaking Down the Mylar Bag

Mylar packaging is more than meets the eye; it’s a precisely engineered system designed to protect, preserve, and perform. Each layer in the bag serves a unique function to keep your product compliant, fresh, and visually on brand.

Layer Composition (shown above):

  1. Protective Outer Film – Provides structure, print surface, and resistance to punctures and tearing.

  2. Design Layer – Custom printed with your brand artwork, available in matte, gloss, or metallic finishes.

  3. Barrier Layer – Aluminum or true-foil material that locks out oxygen, moisture, and UV light to preserve freshness and aroma.

  4. Inner Sealant Layer – Food-grade, heat-sealable film that ensures product integrity and tamper resistance.

Together, these layers form a high-barrier, child-resistant system that’s:

  • Smell-Proof – Containing strong aromas to meet retail and transport standards.

  • Light-Proof – Blocking UV rays that degrade sensitive materials.

  • Moisture-Proof – Preventing mold, humidity, or water damage.

  • Heat-Sealable – Delivering a secure, tamper-evident closure every time.

The result: a durable, compliant, and brand-ready packaging solution engineered to perform across regulated markets.
