Description
Durable Food-Safe Pouches With Custom Print
The 5×7 size is commonly used for samples, single-serve portions, and retail packs. Lightweight for shipping, resistant to moisture and oxygen, and easy to store flat. 5ML Mylar Bags can be handled in bulk and are suitable for applications that require consistent packaging.
Built For Freshness And Display
A good pouch protects what’s inside and looks clean on the shelf. This 5×7 format does both. The footprint suits spices, gummies, coffee taster packs, nuts, granola bites, bath salts, and DIY kits. Heat-seal, label, and ship—simple.
Why 5×7 Works For Fast Operations
Small teams need packaging that sets up quickly. These pouches arrive flat, tear cleanly, and seal fast on common bar or impulse sealers.
- Stacks neatly in limited back-room space
- Accepts stickers and batch labels without curling
- Stays tidy in mailers and subscription kits
Short runs, seasonal drops, or big wholesale pushes—5×7 handles each scenario with minimal changeover.
Extra note for brand managers. The printable face allows bold color blocks, clean ingredient panels, and visible barcodes without crowding the layout.
