Common Myths in Custom Cannabis Packaging

The cannabis industry has witnessed a surge in demand, leading to the rise of various packaging solutions. One such solution that has gained immense popularity is the Mylar bag. However, with its rise in popularity, several myths and misconceptions have emerged. In this article, we aim to debunk these myths and shed light on the true nature and benefits of Mylar bags in custom cannabis packaging.

What Are Mylar Bags?
Mylar bags, often used in the food storage industry, have found a significant place in cannabis packaging. They are known for their durability, flexibility, and ability to maintain product freshness. But, like any popular product, they are surrounded by myths.

Debunking Mylar Bag Myths

Mylar Bags and Vacuum-Packing
Myth: If a Mylar bag appears vacuum-packed, it means all the oxygen has been removed.
Reality: This is false. A Mylar bag looking vacuum-packed doesn't guarantee that all oxygen is removed. Oxygen absorbents absorb oxygen, not air.

Thickness of Mylar Bags
Myth: Thicker Mylar bags are always better.
Reality: This isn't necessarily true. While some thicker bags might hold more weight, there are Mylar bags with grid-like structures that can hold more weight than their thicker counterparts. Moreover, both 2 mil and 7 mil Mylar bags offer similar oxygen protection due to the aluminum layer.

Durability Concerns
Myth: Mylar bags can develop leaks or holes at folded creases.
Reality: Mylar bags are crafted from durable and flexible materials. They are not made of metal, and while there might be inferior quality substitutes that appear metallic, genuine Mylar bags are robust and reliable.

Transparency and Protection
Myth: If a Mylar bag fails the flashlight test, it's not good.
Reality: Mylar's transparency doesn't compromise the contents inside. As long as the Mylar bag has been metalized, sunlight won't damage the contents. The metalization process involves spraying metal onto the Mylar, enhancing protection.
