Weed Mylar Bags.

Because the retail unit cannot be sold without it in most regulated states, the certified child-resistant zipper is the compliance component of the bag. The film and the zipper are certified together as one configuration, so the closure is not a swap made after the fact. A heavy-duty non-CR zipper is available for markets or products where CR is not mandated.

A heat-sealed tamper strip above the zipper is a cheap upgrade that shows the pack has not been opened.

Foil, if the budget allows: the PET / AL / PE laminate has the strongest odour barrier and is the sensible default for retail. The BOPP / VMPET / LLDPE metallised build is cheaper and weaker on odour, which is a real trade rather than a like-for-like swap. Both are opaque, and a clear window is not offered on this product.

Film gauge runs 0.12 to 0.20 mm, and we will not thin it to cut cost, because thin film creases and pinholes at the zipper.

Quantity is the biggest lever by a distance, then the foil-versus-metallised choice, then the finishing level. A run at 2,500 costs far less per bag than one at 500. Dropping from foil to metallised saves real money but costs odour barrier. Finishing is where you control spend most freely.

Matte lamination with one hot foil hit on the logo gets most of the premium read for a small uplift. Single-colour print on matte is the leanest build that still looks considered.

Matte lamination is the baseline that already looks good, and if you pay for one finish it should be that one. Hot foil stamping on top gives the best cost-to-impact ratio. Soft-touch adds a velvet hand-feel that is genuinely noticeable and genuinely more expensive. Holographic is the statement option for limited drops.

Spot gloss over matte is the budget route to a sheen pattern, and plain gloss lamination is less common at the premium end of this category.

The bag is drawn around the fill weight: 3 by 4.5 inches for 1 g, 4 by 6 inches for 3.5 g and 5 by 8 inches for 28 g. Common fills run 1, 3.5, 7, 14 and 28 g, so a range usually needs three or four sizes to cover it. Measurement is width by length across the face.

Fill density varies with the product and the format, so we build the bag to your product rather than to a nominal size, and a filled sample confirms it.

The minimum is 500 bags per design. For a dispensary moving 50 to 150 units of a SKU each month, that is a few months of supply and a sensible first run to check the design at scale. If you have several SKUs on the same structure, ask at quote about running them together.

Tiered pricing applies above 1,000, and runs go to 100,000.

Standard production is 7 to 10 business days once the proof is approved, and rush production runs 5 to 7 business days. A sample with the CR zipper fitted takes 5 to 7 business days. For a new brand launch, build in extra time before that for design review and checking the compliance panel, since the required marks change by state and by batch.

Sample fees are credited to the production order when it is placed.

A foil laminate bag with a properly closed CR zipper holds aroma in well; a metallised bag holds it less well. Odour barrier comes from the aluminium layer, and the zipper is the weak point in either build, which is why the tamper strip above it matters.

Opacity is standard on this product and there is no window option, which also keeps light off the contents between the dispensary shelf and the customer's cupboard.
