Mylar bags are multi-layer laminated barrier pouches commonly made with materials such as:
• MOPP (Matte Oriented Polypropylene)
• VMPET (Vacuum Metalized Polyester)
• PE (Polyethylene)
These layers create a barrier against oxygen, moisture, and light.
For baked goods like cookies, this is extremely valuable.
The Freshness Problem With Cookies
Cookies lose quality in two ways:
• Soft cookies dry out
• Crispy cookies absorb moisture
Barrier packaging slows both processes.
Mylar pouches dramatically reduce oxygen transfer rates and moisture migration, extending product shelf life.
Stand-Up Pouches vs Flat Bags
Stand-up pouches are common for:
• boutique bakeries
• retail cookie brands
• ecommerce shipments
Flat bags are typically used for:
• farmers markets
• small batch bakeries
Both formats can be custom printed.
Resealable Zippers
Adding a zipper allows customers to re-close the package, keeping cookies fresh longer.
This small feature dramatically improves customer experience.
