TPG-SSolutions / Mylar bags / Cannabis flower
Custom mylar bags for cannabis flower.
Flower dries out, loses terpenes and smells strongly, so the bag has to hold aroma and moisture while meeting your state's child-resistance and labeling rules.
What cannabis flower packaging has to do.
- 01Odor and aroma barrierFoil and metallised laminates have very low oxygen and vapour transmission, which keeps aroma in and slows terpene loss.
- 02Child resistanceUnder the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (16 CFR 1700), child-resistant packaging is tested with panels of children and adults (16 CFR 1700.20); ASTM D3475 classifies child-resistant package types. Many states require it for flower, either on the bag or through an exit bag.
- 03Humidity controlMany brands add a two-way humidity pack; leave headroom in the bag size for it.
- 04Label spaceState rules usually require a universal symbol, warnings, potency and batch information. Plan a back panel large enough to hold it at a legible size.
General guidance from public rules and standards, not legal advice. Regulations change and vary by state; confirm the current text with your regulator before you print.

Questions.
01Are mylar bags really smell-proof?
A sealed foil laminate blocks almost all odor. Once the zipper is opened, the zipper seal is the weak point, so a good-quality press-to-close zipper matters.
02What size bag do I need for an eighth?
Most eighths fit a bag around 4 × 6 in, but fluffy strains need more room. Test with your own product before you print.
03Can I print the state warning on the bag?
Yes, most brands print it on the back panel. Confirm the size and wording with your state's current rules.
