Custom Tea Mylar Bags

The consumption of tea is not something that has started now. It was common in ancient times also. As the packaging and delivery of the tea leaves started, people noticed that it needed proper packaging. In ancient times, tea leaves were transported in wooden crates and woven baskets. As the transport to far places started, the need for proper packaging was even greater. Tin cans and plastic bags are used for this purpose. But recently, the use of mylar bags has gained a lot of attention. These bags have many features, and the most prominent one is odor protection, which was lacking in tin boxes and plastic bags. It is estimated that the tea market is going to reach over $23 billion in 2030. So if you want your tea brand to gain recognition and become a large part of this industry, you should look for mylar bag packaging instead of the regular paper tea packaging bags. 

Why are mylar bags becoming popular for storage?

They are becoming very popular because of the material they are made with. BoPET is used in their making. These bags have three layers that protect them. They preserve the products for longer durations and don’t degrade easily. This makes it the ideal material for custom mylar tea packaging. The statistics show that 40% of the packaging is now dominated by Mylar bags and their variants. This is particularly important for your business if you want to expand and deliver across borders. The Mylar bags have high air and moisture resistance. This ensures that the odor and taste of the product are preserved. It reaches the customers in the same way as you have packaged it. You can buy custom tea mylar bags at wholesale rates. This helps businesses to source premium-grade materials while maintaining the budget.

Key features to look for in tea mylar bags

When you are going to buy mylar bags for tea and related products, you should look for the following features. These features determine the quality of the mylar bags:

Barrier protection

The barrier of any bag should be strong enough to protect the inner products. Light can change the color of the green leaves. Water can cause mold buildup in the bags and ruin the tea leaves. In order to protect the tea leaves from the external environment, all of the packaging products should have a strong barrier against all these. As already discussed, Mylar bags have three layers that serve different purposes and ultimately protect and preserve the products. Check if the bags are made with the best quality material or not before placing an order.

Food-grade material

Check the sellers and cross-verify whether they are FDA- and FSA-certified or not. This is particularly important when you are placing an order for food packaging.

Resealable zippers

It is commonly known that no one can consume the complete bags of tea in one sitting after opening them at once. So, for consumers, resealable tea mylar bags are the best choice, as they have a resealable zipper that can be opened again and again multiple times. Custom tea mylar bags in Canada should have this feature because, in winter, especially, the houses are warm because of the heating, so the environment becomes very dry, and if these tea leaves are kept in such an environment, they will spoil quickly.

Custom finishing

The thing that the consumers interact with first before tasting the tea is the bag. So, it should feel premium to touch. There are multiple finishing options in the market that enhance the outer look of the bags. Apart from elevating the visual appeal of the products, these finishing options also protect the bag from scratches and UV light. The following are the finishing options that are mostly used:

• Matte finish
• Gloss finish
• Spot UV
• Anti-scratch coating
• Foil stamping
• Holographic effect

Bag styles 

The style of the bag determines how our product will be displayed on the retail shelves and the cupboards of the customers. The following are a few of the styles of Mylar bags that are used:

• Stand-up mylar bags

These bags have a bottom that helps the Mylar bag stand upright on the counter shelves.

• Flat pouches

These are the pouches that are stacked easily over one another and are best for serving the sample of tea.

• Side gusseted mylar bags

Many brands use custom side-gusseted mylar bags that expand from the sides and also have a space for printing. This does not disturb the orientation and look of the bag when filled with products.

The most commonly used style for storing herbal tea and loose tea leaves is the stand-up mylar bag. They serve the need for maximum visual appeal on the shelves.

Customization options to enhance tea mylar bags

Even if you choose mylar bags, you cannot gain recognition in the market without personalized branding. It is a basic need in today’s packaging world. The following are the customization options that you can effectively choose from.

Tea mylar bags with window

These bags have windows through which the product can be seen easily. This builds the consumers’ trust. However, one important thing that needs to be considered here is that the size of the window should not be large enough for the light to cross the bag. You can ask for UV-protected windows that don’t let the light pass through.

Printing techniques that make the bag stand out

The quality of the machinery used for printed tea mylar bags is really important, as the printing is the core of branded customization. We use high-grade techniques, making sure that the colors and lines are printed in the exact same manner as given by the clients. We use the following printing techniques:

• Digital printing
• Flexographic printing
• Offset printing
• Screen printing
• Rotogravure printing

Closures and openings for mylar bags 

The following are the closures and opening options that can be added to the mylar bags that can make the user experience easier:

• Zipper closure
• Tear notch
• Hang hole
• Bottom gusset
• Rounded corners
• Temper-evident seal
• Spout/nozzle
• Tin tie closure

Add-ons to make the user experience easier

There are many add-ons that can be very useful for the customers. A clear window is also such an add-on that can help users see the product and make their buying decision easier. These are ideal for herbal blends, but for matcha and green teas, you have to be careful, as light can ruin them. A frosted window could be an option for these kinds of blends. Some of the add-ons that we offer are:

• Embossing
• Debossing
• Clear window
• Frosted window
• Degassing valve

Tips to choose the right mylar bag

The following are a few tips that can be helpful to you when you want to choose mylar bags for your tea products.

• Choose the correct size

You should select the right bag size according to the weight of the products. The size guide is available on our website, from where you can see which bag size suits you.

• Check food-safe material

Always check that the dealers have certifications from the FDA and FSC when you are buying food-related packaging material.

• Ensure heat seal mechanism

Make sure that you have a proper machine through which you can heat seal the bags after putting tea leaves in them. This prevents the spoilage of the products.

• Correct labeling process

There are different regulations that make it mandatory for food products to list the ingredients in two languages in Canada. You should provide a good design to the dealers when placing the order.

• Branding

The branding is really important, as the customers will remember your brand’s name only if they see tea mylar bags with a logo. 

If you want maximum branding, you can use custom-printed tea bags along with custom tea mylar bags. Moreover, it is advised that you should ask the dealers to provide you with a physical sample before placing an order for a complete batch. This helps you see the bag and check the material for yourself.
