Mylar bags · Packaging buyer’s guide
Candy and gummy packaging should be specified around the actual product and packing process. Piece size, product behavior, fill volume, and how the consumer opens the pouch all affect the design.
The short answer
Specify the usable pouch volume and the sealing and opening features around the actual candy product. A filled trial can expose access or seal-area problems that artwork does not show. Obtain product-appropriate material documentation before ordering.
What to review before approving production
Review usable space below the seal and around the zipper using a filled sample. Obtain the material suitability documentation needed for the product’s intended use. Keep product-specific storage requirements in the brief rather than choosing a construction only because another brand uses it.
