Custom Flat Pouches

Mylar bags are one of the most common packaging options that is used across various industries. Among the different types of mylar, flat pouches are quite popular. These pouches are not only a useful solution for brands that are looking for sturdy and simple packaging but also an ideal packaging for companies that want to promote themselves.  

At our company, we know that there are diverse brands, and all the brands have unique packaging requirements. To cater to the needs of different brands, we are using premium quality material and high-quality die-cutting machines so that you can get lay flat pouches of your choice. 

Materials Used In Flat Pouches

The material used in the manufacturing of flat bags is BoPET. Apart from this material, we use polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyterephthalate to manufacture flat pouches. These materials have the following qualities due to which we prefer them in the manufacturing of custom shaped mylar bags:

• Flexibility 
• Lightweight 
• Good moisture resistance 
• High clarity and heat resistance 
• Strength and durability 
• Oxygen resistance
• Chemical resistance 

In addition to the use of plastic-based materials for the manufacturing of customized lay flat pouches. We use kraft that gives kraft mylar bags, an excellent sustainable alternative. For high-end packaging, brands can also opt for aluminum foil as a material that will create a perfect barrier against light, oxygen, and moisture. 

Multi-Layer Laminates

If you are looking for premium quality packaging material and want to take the protection of your products to the next level, then get flat barrier pouches made with multiple layers. In it, we use PET along with aluminum foil to enhance the protective ability of the bags. 

Thickness Variations 

We give our customers the complete authority to select the packaging as per their product requirements and duration of use. Some of the common thicknesses that we give are as follows: 

• 2.5 mil is a good option when you have to use the bag for temporary purposes 
• 3.5 mil mylar bags have medium thicknesses that are resistant to punctures. 
• 5 mil custom printed flat pouches are a perfect option to pack food as they have high barrier properties. 
• 7 to 10 mil are heavy-duty bags that are used for bulk and long-term storage.

Best Printing Methods For Flat Pouches

If you want to give an appealing look to the product,then you must opt for printing options. For custom printed lay flat pouches, we have several options that play a crucial role in the promotion of your brand. The most suitable methods of printing are as follows:  

Flexographic Printing

Flexography is an ideal method that produces high-quality prints with the help of flexible printing plates. It is a cost-effective process that gives high volumes in a short duration. 

Rotogravure Printing

In the rotograuve printing process for printed lay-flat pouches, we use large cylindrical plates that transfer the ink to the surface of the paper. This is a perfect option for intricate designs and large-scale production when you need consistent quality and designs. 

Digital Printing

Digital printing allows for the quickest turnout, as here, there is no set-up cost. This is perfect for small-scale production of custom mylar bags. Digital printing is also an environmental method because, in this, there is minimal use of ink. 

The two methods that we do not recommend to our customers for mylar lay flat pouches are as follows: 

Screen Printing

This method is not ideal for flexible packaging because the application of ink can be uneven. This method is limited to color gradients and fine details. 

Offset Printing

Offset printing is designed for rigid surfaces such as paper and cardboard. When used on mylar material, the color quality declines due to poor adhesion. 

Chemicals Used In Manufacturing Flat Pouches

To enhance the properties of custom printed flat pouches, various chemicals are used. The common chemicals that we use include adhesives such as polyurethane-based adhesives that bond multiple layers together. Apart from this, we apply different coatings onto the material that enhances the durability and barrier properties of the bags. Lastly, we have to use different ink based on the requirements of your brand. Our ink is UV curable and solved, which ensures the longevity of the designs and resists fading. 

Add-Ons For Flat Pouches

To enhance the functional properties of the mylar bag, different add-ons are used. Such as zippers are used to give mylar ziplock bags, and the spot is added for liquid packaging to get spout mylar bags for easy pouring. You can also opt for tear notches and press-to-close options to make your bags more functional and easy to use.
