From snacks and supplements to herbal remedies and household goods, brands in every category are under pressure to deliver packaging that does more—more protection, more shelf appeal, and more flexibility for growth. That’s why so many businesses are turning to mylar packaging as their go-to solution.
Mylar, a durable, high-barrier film, offers the ideal balance of performance and aesthetics. It not only helps extend product shelf life but also supports bold, vibrant designs that help products jump off the shelf. For growing brands, it’s a smart investment that covers the entire packaging spectrum—from preservation to promotion.
Moisture & Oxygen Resistance for Extended Shelf Life
Preserving product integrity isn’t optional—it’s essential. Whether your product is perishable, delicate, or flavor-sensitive, exposure to oxygen and moisture can lead to faster spoilage, reduced potency, or a compromised customer experience.
1. Built-in barrier protection
Mylar film is engineered to block out moisture and oxygen, two of the biggest threats to shelf stability. This makes it perfect for snacks, powdered supplements, herbal teas, dried goods, and more. Even without refrigeration, mylar bags maintain freshness over time—minimizing waste, returns, and reputation risk.
2. Protection without bulk
Unlike rigid containers or tins, mylar offers high-barrier protection in a lightweight, compact form. That means better shipping efficiency, less storage space, and reduced environmental impact.
3. Odor control and UV shielding
Products like cannabis, pet treats, or certain vitamins come with strong scents or light-sensitive ingredients. Mylar packaging locks in aroma and blocks UV exposure, maintaining the sensory and therapeutic qualities that define your brand.
For brands in regulated spaces, safety and compliance are equally critical. That’s why ePac also offers child resistant bags that combine the same high-barrier performance with locking zippers and certified closures—ensuring both protection and peace of mind.
Digital Printing That Delivers Vibrant, Photo-Quality Branding
Function matters, but in retail and eCommerce, looks sell. If your packaging doesn’t stop a shopper mid-scroll or mid-aisle, you’re already behind.
1. Premium visuals with no plate costs
ePac’s digital printing process allows for full-color, high-resolution designs without the time or expense of traditional printing plates. That means smaller brands can enjoy big-brand quality—fast.
2. Spot embellishments and finish options
Want to highlight flavor profiles, product benefits, or seasonal promotions? With digital printing, you can easily rotate design elements, add spot gloss or matte finishes, and run short-term campaigns without changing your base packaging structure.
3. Flexibility across formats
While mylar is incredibly versatile, it’s not your only option. For products requiring horizontal packaging formats—like bars, baked goods, or single-use items—flow wrapping might be the better fit. ePac helps brands choose the right format and print style for every SKU.
Great packaging should do three things: protect the product, promote the brand, and perform in the real world. Mylar packaging checks all those boxes—delivering durability, design flexibility, and shelf impact without compromise. For brands that want to compete with confidence, it’s a packaging choice that pays off from production to point-of-sale.
