Brandmydispo (Brand My Dispo)

  When starting out, many small businesses utilize plain packaging to get their products out quickly and easily. At first, there is no thought given to their packaging style (plain bags with generic labels and handwritten details are common). However, as sales continue to grow, this temporary solution can often hold back their branding. Eventually, customers will begin to compare your packaging versus the competition and realize that the look of your packaging is as important as the product itself. The process of upgrading to custom Mylar bags can be done fairly fast, with some proper planning. By having the appropriate resources and knowing the product dimensions, the visual style you want to establish, and how to assemble the completed product in an efficient manner, a business could easily upgrade its packaging in less than a single weekend. Using the above contents as success factors, transitioning to new packaging can happen more quickly than anticipated by the majority of tho...

  Packaging is a critical element of retail success because it helps to attract attention and convey product value quickly. Retailers and buyers often evaluate products very quickly, and when determining whether to place an item on the shelf in an ideal location, visual appeal and perceived professionalism are both important criteria. Color psychology also plays a key role in retail environments. Bright colorful designs with high-contrast colors can draw customers' eyes from across the store aisle. Additionally, special finishes (e.g., matte or metallic) will create an impression of premium quality before customers have an opportunity to read the label. Ideas for structural designs that create display opportunities include: Stand-up pouches are a great way to take advantage of vertical space while clearly displaying product branding, especially in a crowded shelf space. Products that fully upright and stable help to eliminate the chance that they will go unnoticed or become dislodg...

  Packaging has become a key differentiator as competition continues to grow in the retail and online marketplace. Brands are moving away from generic packaging solutions to utilizing a custom Mylar bag manufacturer in order to create unique packaging that stands out while immediately conveying quality. One significant reason for making custom pouch purchases is shelf appeal. In crowded retail environments, packaging can be the deciding factor on whether or not a consumer picks up the product. Using custom pouches, brands can have complete control over package color(s), finish(es), and layout(s) in a way that supports their identity and draws attention. Another top driver is reliability. Brands need to partner with their manufacturer to understand the consistent capabilities of the manufacturer will be able to support repeat orders without unexpected changes to quality and/ or appearance. Consistency builds brand recognition and this is key for brands that are looking to scale. Spe...

  Packaging is now the deciding factor as to whether or not your product gets noticed. That's why more and more businesses in food, wellness, cosmetics, and specialty are switching to flexible packaging, which not only protects the product, but also offers visual appeal. Some of these businesses have made the jump to Brandmydispo because they have had problems with inconsistent print quality, high minimums, or unreliable turnaround times when using their current suppliers. The first reason for the shift from traditional packaging to flexible packaging is consistency. For companies that reorder packaging, the colors, finishes and dimensions should all match with previous orders - especially since products are sold across the country. Even small differences can disrupt a consumer’s ability to identify a brand; as such, businesses have said that being able to dependably reproduce their packaging from one order to the next greatly reduced their stress level and helped keep their launch...

  There’s no doubt about it; true coffee lovers know that freshness is different than staleness and it is not about “fighting time” but about reducing what makes coffee taste stale. Properly stored, coffee will retain its flavor until after the bag is opened.  Buying in bulk may save you money, but it greatly increases the risk of your coffee becoming stale due to lack of protection. The longer the bulk coffee sits unopened, the more likely it will lose its freshness. Splitting your bean purchase in half and putting only half in an airtight bag will keep one portion fresh for weeks, not days. There are challenges when traveling or going to work. If you carry your beans in a backpack or leave them at work, they are subject to fluctuating temperatures and exposure to air. Using portable, high-barrier packaging will keep your coffee fresh no matter how your day goes. Your grinding habits can also affect your coffee storage needs. For example, if you drink espresso daily, you prob...

  The overall look of printed Mylar Bags is dependent on both the art work and the interaction of the different ink types, coatings, and materials from which the film is made. Each of these different layers can affect how vibrant a color will be, how textured it will feel, and how durable it will be, and thus making correct materials selections is an extremely important part of the printing process.  In order for specialized inks to be able to ‘stick’ to a flexible plastic surface, they must be able to keep their shape and form when being bent, and they must be able to resist moisture and oil and temperature changes in order to be able to be read over time. Typical inks that are developed for paper would not perform positively in these conditions. In addition to all of the above, finishes such as matte, gloss or soft touch coatings can dramatically alter how color appears on the printed substrate. Gloss will enhance the brightness and contrast of the colours printed on the pri...

  The world of product packaging is going through a significant transformation. The shift towards lighter, more flexible types of packaging instead of heavier ones like jars, cans, and boxes is happening quickly. Stand up pouches are leading the charge because they provide strength and visual appeal, allowing brands to present products in a new, space-saving way. Retailers value packaging that provides maximum use of shelf space while still allowing for visibility of products. This is because stand up pouches can stand. Retailers have the ability to showcase their products either in standalone displays, hang on display hooks, or fill merchandising areas more compactly than traditional formats. This flexibility benefits both large retailers and small specialty shops. From a branding standpoint, the large printable surfaces on pouches create a platform for storytelling about the product. Companies can clearly showcase their ingredient, preparation, usage, and certification informatio...

Smell Proof Mylar Bags are designed to hold the very strong smell and [not let] the external oxygen/moisture get inside. The bags were made of several barrier films that will eliminate the escape of scent molecules from inside a single bag. They therefore are incredibly good for products that need to have a discrete storage solution and to be kept fresh for as long as possible.  A key part of the Mylar Bags’ smell barrier is the inner (aluminum or metalized) foil layer of the pouch. The plastic barrier film of the outer layer is a far superior oxygen, light, and odor barrier than standard plastic packaging. When the aluminum layer is placed between thick outer films, it develops strong smell barrier pouches and holds onto the stored product’s aroma until they finish the entire process of storage and packaging without losing the previously stored properties.  The resealability of the pouch closure also helps control noxious aromas and odors. Quality closures provide an airtight...

  Recent trends have indicated that packaging choices now are just as important to brand image as is the product itself. Because of this, companies are devoting more money and energy toward the design of their products' packaging since it directly influences visibility, customer confidence, and perceived worth of the product being sold. Custom mylar bags allow for the packaging of products in such a way that the product can tell a story through the use of color, texture, and shape all while continuing to have excellent protective abilities. As these trends have matured and manufacturers have seen increased sales, reasons have emerged from industry growth projections that demonstrate why suppliers are seeing an increase in sales. The flexible packaging industry is fast becoming an established and rapidly growing industry due to increased demand for convenience, improvements in environmentally conscious packaging, and visually unique branding and advertising. Since mylar pouches feat...

With so many suppliers to choose from in today’s business world, branding and brand identity are usually the only thing that differentiate one supplier from another. This is why nearly all of the decision making process is based upon visual cues, familiarity, and trust. Having a clear and defined identity allows your business to stand out from all of the other suppliers that may ever be competing for the same customer’s business. Confusion can occur when suppliers have similar names or look alike; and if the customer is not able to tell who they are going to buy from, that customer will likely lose trust in the brand. When a supplier has invested years into establishing their identity within the market, they need to make every effort to protect that identity, so as not to risk losing credibility or momentum through confusion with other suppliers who have similar names or branding. When there is miscommunication of this type, it is important for suppliers to make a public clarification....

Packaging has always served as a barrier to protect products, but custom Mylar packaging has evolved beyond this function to become a core part of the advertising of a brand. Custom Mylar pouch design has greatly expanded from being just a typical way to store a product to being a tool for marketing and differentiating a brand. Companies expect to have custom options that go beyond off the shelf pouches including customizing finishes, adding textures to the packaging to create a high-quality feeling for the consumer and using creative and innovative designs to stand out on retail shelving. The shift in consumer expectations regarding package performance has changed significantly over the last decade. As a result, consumers now associate high-quality products with high-quality packaging. What used to be considered a luxurious package finish, such as using a matte laminate finish, metallic film or holographic effect, is now considered a standard upgrade and part of a brand’s image. Compa...

  The packaging sector is becoming increasingly flexible. Brands don’t want one standardised pouch option which creates compromises in terms of size, finish or structure; they want packaging which will accommodate their product, rather than vice versa. This requirement for adaptability has led to innovative methods being developed in custom Mylar bag manufacturing. Modern brands exist in various sales channels – retail grocery, online ordering, subscription boxes and wholesale distribution – each requiring slightly different considerations for packaging. For example, a bag that is successful in a brick-and-mortar location may need to have enhanced sealing for shipment through e-commerce channels. The ability to be flexible when it comes to customising packaging helps companies deliver the right type of package to their customers for each environment. One of the biggest potential growth areas is with size. Companies need everything from very compact sample size packaging for their p...

  Simply sealing dry goods in a bag and putting them away in Long-Term Food Storage will not keep the food fresh. The materials that make up a Mylar bag are one of the biggest factors affecting how long food will last. Mylar is constructed of several layers, each of which serves to block oxygen, moisture, and light from affecting the contents inside the bag. If the bag is constructed of a light-weight material, like thin Mylar, less barrier material is provided against these threats and those layers will break down over time. Even small punctures or stress points can completely destroy the food storage. Some people buy thin Mylar bags because they are cheaper and easier to seal. However, a thin Mylar bag works well for short-term storage, but is not designed to maintain food quality over time. As time passes, the thin material will become brittle and will no longer be able to provide adequate protection for food stored inside. When you choose a Mylar bag to use for long-term food s...

A Mylar bag undergoes a complicated process involving many steps before it arrives in the store. Often, folks believe that the artwork is put onto the bag and then sealed; however, there are multiple steps where items are built upon one another as the production continues. Skipping anything along the way can lead to difficulties later in the process. The first step in creating a Mylar bag is creating the artwork digitally on a computer. The colours must be changed depending on how reflective or opaque the Mylar will be when printed, and on how much ink the Mylar will absorb. What we perceive to look "perfect" on a digital screen may not print well on Mylar unless it has been optimised correctly for use in a Mylar bag. This is where the printer's extensive experience will make the largest impact on finished products made from Mylar. Also, there are different printing methods available to create Mylar bags, which will affect the overall quality and ability to mass-produce y...

  The process begins by selecting quality raw materials which are often used when making custom Mylar bags. Mylar bags are produced by using a combination of several layers of film to create an effective structure, which would consist of a polyester layer, an aluminum foil layer, and the inner layer composed of a food safe sealant material (depending on the intended use of the Mylar Bag). Each layer is then used to perform multiple functions within the overall production of the Mylar Bag itself. To produce Mylar Bags, films first must be extruded separately, and after they are extruded they will be laminated together by heat and/or adhesive-laminate methods. After the films have been laminated together, they will create one piece of laminated film creating strength, barrier protection, as well as flexibility of the Mylar Bag. After the film has been laminated together, the film will then be rolled and prepared for application with custom graphics. The printing process will depend o...

  For an excellent reason, mylar bags have become a major part of the food and supplement industry. They protect products from moisture, oxygen, and light that cause a decrease in the quality of these products. The barrier properties of mylar bags help maintain freshness and extend shelf-life. When it comes to packaging food such as powders, dried foods and nutraceuticals, this is a very important factor. Although mylar bags are very effective at protecting all of these products, there are still many questions from consumers related to the safety of using these types of packaging when they will come into direct contact with or be eaten along with food. Therefore, shoppers want assurance that there is no leaching of harmful chemicals from Mylar bags into the food being packaged. With increasing awareness about the presence of chemicals in everyday consumer products, the trend of consumers checking the label and material used to package products has continued to increase. Mylar bags ...

  Due to the crowded market, businesses are trying to gain as much attention from consumers as possible. The unboxing experience is becoming one of the best experiences a consumer has with a brand and often matches the experience of using the product. Generic-style packaging does not give brands the same power to create an advantage as a strategic style of custom packaging can do to build a strong advantage with consumers. In short, the unboxing experience allows brands to establish a relationship with the consumer through their branding on the packaging expressing the level of quality and care in their identity before the consumer uses the product. By developing custom printed Mylar bags as a way of presenting products, businesses are receiving the benefits of providing customers with a higher perceived value of their products. Printed Mylar bags do not simply hold items; they act as a form of mobile advertising; they provide consumers with a type of souvenir from the business (or...

  There's this idea that thicker packaging means better protection - which is true to some extent but thickness doesn't always protect against the biggest threats for stored products. The thickness of the material has a limited connection to how much oxygen can flow through it. While there are some thick plastics that could still allow oxygen to flow through them - so there's a chance for oxidation and degradation even though the appearance of them is intact. Moisture exists in much the same way as oxygen. Many types of material will allow the movement of water vapor through them, irrespective of how thick they seem. Over time this movement (in some cases) can lead to significant degrading of the quality of the stored product. Light can also be a problem and often goes unnoticed. Transparent or low tint materials may initially appear to be attractive (and some are) but they also have an ability to pass damaging amounts of light onto their contents. When storing products for...

  When people talk about Mylar Bags in prepper forums, food storage guides, or similar forums it is important to know that many things being said about them aren't actually true. Many of the myths surrounding these bags are surprisingly robust over time. One of the most common myths is the idea that all flexible packaging acts the same. However, in reality, Mylar Bags are actually laminated systems that are much more stable than single layer plastics. Many times, there isn't a clear distinction given, which creates unnecessary concern. Another myth is that chemical leaching happens automatically over time. Food grade Mylar Bags are designed for use under normal storage conditions and they have had their stability tested over extended time periods. In most cases, the components that these bags are made from are inert. One of the ways that chemicals are misconceived to be leaching from Mylar Bags, is often due to misuse of the bags. When Mylar Bags are exposed to excessive heat, ...

Packaging choices should always be made with the overall direction of the brand (short term and long term) in mind. Packaging with short-term appeal without considering long-term flexibility will be very costly to change later. The first step in creating a scalable package is the base design/ layout system of your packaging. A well-designed base layout means that you are able to change out flavors, SKUs or types of products with ease without having to create all new packaging from scratch. This allows you to maintain brand consistency, but with variety. Utilising colour as a way of coding your products is an extremely useful and efficient way to help your customer navigate your products quickly when done correctly; When done randomly; it creates confusion. It is as important to have consistent placements of colours, as well as using consistent colour tones. The types of print techniques used should match your growth strategy. Designs that require super-specific effects or very small de...

  After being roasted, coffee’s best protection is its packaging. Even the best quality beans in the world can lose some of their flavour, if they are stored in conditions that allow air and light to get in. The quality of the coffee is directly related to the quality of the packaging; it’s not simply a marketing decision.  When coffee is roasted, it gives off gases. This is why there must be a balance between protecting the coffee from air and light, while also allowing for the gases to escape. If there are no materials that allow for gas to properly escape, bags can trap oxygen and retain it; but if the gases are not able to escape from the bag, they can create problems in how the coffee actually tastes.  Traditional storage options have difficulty finding a balance between protecting the coffee and allowing for adequate ventilation. Many of the traditional options (thin bags, paper packaging, and generic storage containers) tend to skew the balance toward convenience r...

  Although freezers can slow the process of spoiling food, freezing food does not stop this process completely. Freezers still cause food to lose water due to evaporation and other factors, but they are three meals delayed. The way that food is packaged is a determining factor in how long food will last; this has been explored in the article titled, "Can You Freeze Food in Mylar Bags?". Using Mylar bags for the purpose of long-term storage of food outside freezers is common; therefore, it is reasonable to question how these bags will hold up with respect to freezing. Fortunately, Mylar has remained flexible in freezers, unlike many plastics that become stiff. What is most important is the way that air is removed when packaging food in Mylar. In this case, if air is removed, whether by using an oxygen absorber or manual removal, this will reduce the risk of freezer burn, which is especially important for foods that have been cooked as well as for meats and for sauces, since th...
