Bolsas de Mylar

Frequently Asked Questions

• What are mylar bags?

  Mylar bags are heat-sealed multi-layer plastic pouches made from polyester film laminated with aluminum and other barrier materials. The layered construction creates an air-tight, light-tight, moisture-proof, and smell-proof environment that preserves freshness and potency far better than zip-top baggies. They're the industry standard for cannabis storage and dispensary packaging.

• Are mylar bags smell proof?

  Yes, when properly sealed. The aluminum-laminated layers block odor molecules from escaping the bag. Seal quality matters most — a properly heat-sealed or vacuum-sealed mylar bag is fully smell-proof, while an improperly sealed or punctured bag will leak. Child-resistant zipper bags retain most odor but aren't quite as airtight as heat-sealed pouches.

• What size mylar bag do I need?

  Match the bag size to your contents. 1-gram bags are for single-dose packaging. 1/8 ounce (3.5g) is the most common retail size. 1/4 ounce (7g) and 1/2 ounce (14g) are common for personal storage. 1 ounce (28g) is the largest standard size. For wholesale or dispensary use, choose 100-count or 1,000-count bulk boxes in the size you sell most.

• Are mylar bags child resistant?

  Some are. Standard heat-seal mylar bags aren't child resistant by default — they require heat sealing equipment to close. Grip-N-Pull style bags from Loud Lock and similar brands have child-resistant zippers that meet CPSC compliance standards required for legal cannabis sales in most US markets. Look for Grip-N-Pull or child resistant in the product name to confirm.

• Can mylar bags be reused?

  Heat-sealed mylar bags are typically single-use — once cut open, they can't be resealed without specialized equipment. Grip-N-Pull and zipper-style mylar bags are designed to be reused multiple times. For long-term storage, single-use heat-sealed bags preserve freshness longer; for daily personal use, reusable zipper bags are more practical.

• What's the difference between mylar bags and glass jars for cannabis storage?

  Both work well for different use cases. Mylar bags are smell-proof when sealed, light-proof, lighter, more compact, and disposable — ideal for retail packaging or travel. Glass jars are reusable, transparent (you can see contents), and offer the best long-term storage when paired with a humidity pack. For dispensary-style retail packaging, mylar bags are standard; for personal long-term storage, many users prefer glass jars with humidity control.

• What are exit bags?

  Exit bags are child-resistant mylar bags that licensed dispensaries use to package cannabis products when customers leave the store. They're required by state regulations in most US markets where adult-use cannabis is legal. The grip-n-pull design satisfies CPSC child resistance standards. Most exit bags are opaque mylar with simple printing — the same bags carried in this collection.
