  When you pick up a Mylar bag, you will most likely notice that it feels very different from the simple plastic bags your used to— when compared side by side the differences of texture and feel, stiffness, thickness, and overall feel are apparent. This is caused by how the bags are manufactured. Standard plastic bags have a fairly simple manufacturing process and are often manufactured from low strength plastic materials and simply designed for carrying or storing items. While Mylar bags are made from many different forms of higher strength materials built especially for their high performance manufacturing process. Therefore, the way in which the bag feels when you hold and the way the bag performs after you have filled it and sealed it will greatly differ from the standard plastic bags. In regards to packaging, if a bag has a sturdier feel it will often create a more professional impression on a customer and will protect the product better. Regardless of the product, such as cof...

  When you think of storing food for an extended period, your first thought is usually about expiration dates. While this is understandable, it’s usually not the number one problem we have to worry about with dry goods. More often than not, the true issue lies in the humidity and moisture getting to the product and causing clumping or hardening. This is why the way we package and/or store the product is very important as a method of preservation and not just as a method of presentation. A weak container will hold something, but it’s not necessarily going to hold it safely from humidity or moisture. The goal of better barrier-type packaging is to keep dry goods dry - plain and simple. This ensures that everything else associated with the item and using it will be easy. Using Mylar when packaging dry goods is becoming very popular because of the strength of the barrier it provides compared to other methods of storage. It’s light weight, easy to seal, and easy to store in bulk when cr...

  Not all powdered food bags will be adequate for your purpose, powdered milk may seem easy to package, but when selecting a bag, freshness, shelf life, re-sealability, storage conditions and proper material are extremely important. Choosing the right packaging features has just as much impact as the type of material used. One of the most significant features is barrier protection. Dry milk needs protection from moisture, light, odor and oxygen, EVA bags, with their UV barrier, will protect dry milk from moisture, odor and oxygen for a good amount of time. If the packaging leaks, the product can spoil or diminish in quality before you realize it. A stronger barrier bag will help to keep dry milk in good condition for a longer shelf life. Another very important feature is seal ability. Seal-able bags can be heat sealed for long term storage, but many brands as well as households want to have a Zip Top option for convenience after the product has been opened. Therefore, by combining ...

  Many companies will put all their resources toward producing an exceptional product; the only problem is they do not give enough thought to the style or presentation of their packaging as part of their overall product experience – this could turn out to be a costly mistake. The first thing a customer sees when they open your product is the packaging; the way your packaging looks is often the basis for a customer’s perception of your entire product even before they use it. How you package your product can build customer confidence in you and your company; however, if you have poorly packaged your product, you risk losing customers based solely on how that packaging performs. Packaging becomes even more important in competitive industries where customers have a lot of options to choose from and where those options may appear very similar. If one option has an appearance that is cleaner, fresher, or more upscale than another option, the former option is likely to be the first choice...

  A lot of packaging looks homemade because it is over the top. Too many colors and fonts, too many words, too many effects. When every feature tries to steal the spotlight from another, the overall feel of the design becomes messy rather than professionally done. If you want your packaging to look professional, you don’t typically achieve this with more. You accomplish it with smarter design decisions upfront. The simplest method of creating a more elevated look for packaging is simplifying the front. The majority of successful packaging designs rely on 3 main ‘essentials’ only, which tend to create that upscale feel: the brand name; the product name; and an attractive visual direction to create that connection to the customer. The right amount of spacing and hierarchy generally adds to this upscale appeal more so than how the product was designed with complex art. Typography also has a key contribution toward whether or not a package has that upscale appeal or looks inexpensive. ...

  At first glance, using cheaper Mylar bags seems to make a lot of sense: lower price, easier to get into, less of a commitment to use them. On paper this seems to be a smart decision but once you start seeing the reality of how much you have lost out on…you start feeling dumb. Typically the first thing you will lose on with Cheaper Mylar bags is the quality of the material. Thinner films, weaker seals, and less effectiveness of your barrier protection will cause issues. These will not always show themselves, which make it worse because you won't know about the issues until after your product is outside of your control. Next you will start to lose the durability of the bag. Bags that tear and fail from being “over-pressured” not only create inconveniences for you but create a loss of trust in the customer. Customers do not separate the packaging from the product, for them it is ONE complete experience (like it or not). You will usually see a noticeable loss in printing as well. Col...

  Sublimation seems magical on first glance. You press ink into a surface, heat it, and poof — it sprays on the surface as if it were there all along. No cracking, no peeling, and no funky textures. But then Mylar shows up, and it kind of ruins that whole fantasy. People are always asking the question “Can You Sublimate on Mylar Bags?” But the answer to that question is not a clear-cut yes or no; it’s more like an occasional yes — but only if everything comes together just right. Mylar is not the same as cotton or coated polyester, which are both great for sublimation. Mylar has a lot of different layers and is typically constructed from one or more plastic films and sometimes coated with aluminum foil. That great multi-layered construction is great for providing a complete barrier to protect products, increase shelf-life, and provide durability. But surely, that’s not the best construction for sublimation; therefore; Mylar does not typically accept ink into its fibers or surface a...
