Die Cut Mylar Bag

Die Cut Mylar Bags – When the Shape IS the Brand

  • Die cut mylar bags break the rules of conventional packaging by turning the bag itself into a brand asset. Instead of filling a standard rectangle, the pouch is die-cut into a custom silhouette — shaped to match the product, the brand mascot, or a seasonal theme. This makes every unit a visual statement on the shelf, in a gift box, or in the customer’s hand.

  • Die cut bags are widely used for candy, gummy supplements, protein bites, single-serve snacks, bath bombs, cosmetic samples, promotional giveaways, event packaging, and limited-edition product launches. Any brand that wants to create a “collectible” or “giftable” unboxing moment — rather than just a functional wrapper — is a natural fit for this format.

  • Die cut mylar bags are constructed with multi-layer laminated film structures — PET/AL/PE for full oxygen, moisture, and light barrier, PET/VMPET/PE for a lighter metallic finish with moderate protection, or PET/PE for cost-effective everyday applications. The laminated structure ensures product freshness and durability even with complex contours and tight curves in the die-cut shape.

  • The die-cut process supports a wide range of custom shapes — from simple rounded contours to detailed character outlines and product-shaped silhouettes. Minimum corner radius, maximum contour complexity, and structural integrity are all evaluated during the design phase to ensure the final bag seals properly, fills cleanly, and survives retail handling. Our team reviews your artwork and provides shape feasibility feedback before production begins.

  • Every die cut mylar bag is fully customizable — shape, size, film structure, printing method, and surface finish are all matched to your brand concept. Functional add-ons include resealable zippers, tear notches, hang holes, and specialty finishes like holographic or soft-touch coating. Tell us your product type, target shape, and fill weight, and we will confirm feasibility and recommend the most effective specification for your project.

The Perfect Fit For Every Product

Every die cut mylar bag is shaped to your custom design — there are no standard sizes. The table below shows typical fill ranges by application to help you start the conversation. Final capacity depends entirely on your chosen bag shape.

Die Cut Bag — Application & Fill Range Reference

Typical fill weights and size ranges by product category

Application Typical Fill Range Common Size Range
Candy / Gummies 30 – 100g 12×15cm – 18×22cm
Supplements / Protein Bites 20 – 80g 10×13cm – 16×20cm
Single-Serve Snacks 15 – 60g 10×12cm – 15×18cm
Bath Bombs / Beauty Items 80 – 150g 15×18cm – 20×25cm
Cosmetic Samples 5 – 30ml 8×10cm – 12×15cm
Promotional / Event Items 10 – 50g 10×12cm – 15×20cm
Capacity is directly determined by the custom die-cut shape — a wider silhouette holds more than a narrow one at the same height. Figures above are starting references only.

Unlike standard pouches with fixed dimensions, die cut mylar bags have no universal size chart. The fill capacity of each bag is directly tied to the custom shape you choose — a wide, rounded silhouette holds significantly more than a tall, narrow outline at the same overall height.

This means the right size can only be confirmed after reviewing your specific shape design. Share your product type, target fill weight, and shape concept with our team, and we will recommend the most practical dimensions and confirm exact capacity with a sample before production.

The Voice of Global Customers Is Our Best Business Card

“Absolutely thrilled with my experience with this company🌟 I ordered 500 fully printed zip pouches across 14 SKUs with a soft touch matte finish – and WOW, they turned out incredible! The quality is top-notch: bright, vibrant colours that match my designer’s files perfectly, flawless zipper function, accurate cut lines on every pouch, and not a single reject in the whole order. Tear notches and hang holes are spot on. The thickness is ideal too! Huge shoutout to Quillion, my amazing sales rep, and their design team who helped fix typos and optimize the artwork. I was updated at every step, even receiving printing videos! Despite one box being misdelivered (not their fault), they reprinted and split shipping costs – super supportive even after delivery. Plus, the cost was almost 50% less than local Canadian quotes. Highly recommend – great service, great people, and exceptional results. Will be ordering”

“This was my first time ordering custom packaging, so I had a LOT of questions. They were patient with every revision and never made me feel like my order was too small. They helped me choose a pouch size based on my product weight, explained material options in simple terms, and even pointed out how to improve my design margins so text wouldn’t sit too close to the edges. I loved getting photos during production because it kept me calm. Everything arrived on time and looked even better in person. I really appreciate how supportive they were.”

Noah

“We had a product launch deadline, so timing mattered more than anything. They gave a realistic production schedule, confirmed every spec quickly, and didn’t overpromise. When we approved the final proof, they started production immediately and sent progress updates every few days. They also confirmed carton packing details and shipping marks so we could track everything easily. The shipment left on time and arrived earlier than expected. I’m very happy because they helped us hit our launch date without last-minute stress.”

“We wanted packaging that looks premium but still fits our budget. They gave us options and explained what impacts cost (material, finish, printing method) without pushing anything unnecessary. We selected a structure that works well for our product, and the final pouches look way better than I expected for the price. Print is clean, zipper is smooth, and the pouch stands well. Very good value and a smooth buying experience.”

“Best communication I’ve had with a packaging supplier.”
I’ve worked with several vendors—this was the smoothest. Clear updates, quick answers, and no confusion on specs. The final packaging matched what was promised.

“Fast turnaround + accurate delivery.”
They gave a realistic timeline, kept me updated, and shipped when they said they would. Packaging arrived earlier than expected and was packed safely.

Sophia

U.K.

“I’ve worked with several packaging suppliers and the biggest issue is usually inconsistency and slow communication. This team is different. The quoting was clear (structure, printing, lead time, packing), and they confirmed everything before production to avoid mistakes. They sent production photos and also confirmed the final carton quantity and packing list details. When the shipment arrived, the quality was consistent across cartons and matched our previous order. That reliability is exactly what we need for ongoing wholesale business.”

Michael

“One thing I really appreciated was how transparent they were. They didn’t just say “in production”—they actually sent photos and short videos: printing stage, pouch forming, and final inspection. They also confirmed the final approved proof one more time before starting, which prevented mistakes. This gave me confidence because I knew exactly what was happening. The finished packaging matched the approved design and was delivered on schedule. Highly recommend if you value clear updates.”

What is a die cut mylar bag?

A die cut mylar bag is a flexible pouch cut into a custom shape using a steel die, rather than the standard rectangular format. The bag silhouette can match a product shape, brand mascot, character, or any creative outline — turning the packaging itself into a brand asset.

Die cut mylar bags are widely used for candy, gummy supplements, protein bites, single-serve snacks, bath bombs, cosmetic samples, promotional giveaways, event packaging, seasonal limited editions, and collectible branded items.

We support a wide range of shapes — from simple rounded contours to detailed character outlines and product-shaped silhouettes. Minimum corner radius, contour complexity, and seal width are evaluated during the design phase. Our team reviews your artwork and provides shape feasibility feedback before committing to production.

Common film structures include PET/AL/PE for maximum barrier against oxygen, moisture, and light, PET/VMPET/PE for a metallic finish with moderate protection, and PET/PE for cost-effective everyday applications. The laminated structure maintains integrity even with complex contours and tight curves.

Options include matte and gloss lamination, holographic film for iridescent effects, soft-touch coating for a velvety feel, spot UV for selective gloss highlights, and hot stamping for metallic foil accents. Multiple finishes can be combined on a single bag.

Yes. Resealable press-to-close zippers, tear notches, and hang holes can all be incorporated into die cut bags. Zipper placement is adjusted to fit the custom shape while maintaining a clean seal and easy consumer access.

What is the minimum order quantity for die cut mylar bags?

MOQ generally ranges from 1,000 to 3,000 units, depending on shape complexity, bag size, material, and printing method. Die cut bags require a custom steel die, which is a one-time tooling cost included in the first order.

Standard production takes 15–20 days after artwork and shape approval, excluding shipping. The timeline is slightly longer than standard pouches due to the custom die-making process. We confirm a specific timeline before production begins.

We offer digital printing for short runs and gravure printing for high-volume orders with lower unit cost. The custom shape itself serves as a design element, so printing is registered precisely to align graphics with the bag contour for maximum visual impact.

Yes. Die cut bags are especially popular for holiday packaging, seasonal promotions, brand collaborations, and limited-edition product launches. The unique shape creates instant shelf differentiation and collectible appeal that standard pouches cannot match. Once your custom die is made, reorders with the same shape are faster and more cost-effective.

For freshness-sensitive products, we recommend laminating aluminum foil (AL) or metallized PET (VMPET) into the film structure — these barrier layers block oxygen, moisture, and light almost completely. For lighter protection needs, standard PE or PET films with an EVOH barrier layer are a more cost-effective option.
