Die Cut Mylar Bags

A rectangle is what everyone else has. Die cut mylar bags are cut to an outline you choose, a jar, a rounded pouch, a character, a bottle, with the same barrier film, zipper and heat seal as a standard bag. The shape does some of the branding before the print does.

How it works

Custom die cut mylar bags, step by step

  1. Send the outline as a vector, or even a sketch. We send back a die line within two business days.
  2. Artwork goes on the die line. Full-bleed print, matte or gloss.
  3. You get a physical proof of the cut shape before the run.
  4. Production takes 14 business days.

What the die can and can't do

Any closed outline works. Very thin points and deep inner corners weaken the seal edge, so we round those slightly and show you where on the proof. The zipper runs straight across the top whatever the shape, which sets a minimum width at the mouth.

Specification

Die cut mylar bag options

01

Film

Same multi-layer barrier laminate as our stock bags. Light-blocking, food-grade inner, heat-sealable.

02

Closure

Resealable zipper across the mouth. Certified CR zipper available with CPSC 16 CFR 1700.20 documentation.

03

Sizes

Cut to your outline and sized by product weight from 3.5g up. Tell us the product and we size the shape around it.

Die cut or standard?

Die cutting adds tooling and a proof step. It's worth it when the shape is part of the brand. If you just need a printed pouch, the standard rectangle on custom mylar bags is quicker and cheaper. We'll tell you which makes sense for your volume.

What this costs

Mylar bags run $0.35 to $0.95 per unit at a minimum of 5,000 per design, and a die cut shape sits toward the upper end because it needs its own tooling. Size, finish and colour count move it too, and quantity moves you within the band. Prices are ex-works, so freight and duty are quoted with your order. The full breakdown is on the pricing page.
