What to Check When Sourcing Any CR Mylar Bag

Whether you buy from Brigade, Dymapak, or another supplier, verify these before you place an order:

  • ASTM D3475 certification — ask for documentation, not just a claim on the product page
  • Exact dimensions — measure your product and the bag’s interior, not just the nominal size
  • Heat seal requirement — most mylar bags require a heat sealer to close properly; check your equipment
  • State compliance — if you’re in a regulated cannabis market, confirm the bag format meets your state’s exit bag requirements
  • Reseal capability — some bags have zipper reseal, some are one-time seal only; know which you need

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a mylar bag actually child-resistant?

The ASTM D3475 standard requires that fewer than 20% of children (ages 42–51 months) can open the package within 5 minutes, while at least 90% of seniors can open it using the printed instructions. For mylar bags, this typically involves a zipper mechanism that requires a simultaneous squeeze-and-pull motion that young children cannot easily perform. Not all “child-resistant” claims are tested, so always request ASTM certification documentation.

Do I need a heat sealer to use these bags?

Yes, for the initial seal. The bags are supplied unsealed — you fill them and then heat seal the top. After sealing, the built-in zipper allows for reclosure. Without a heat sealer, the bags cannot be properly closed for compliant use.

What’s the difference between exit bags and regular CR mylar bags?

Exit bags are designed for point-of-sale use in dispensaries and are typically larger, opaque, and often branded with the retailer’s identity. Regular child-resistant mylar bags are used as primary packaging for individual products. In most cases, brands use both — a product-specific CR bag inside an exit bag at the point of sale.

Can I print my logo on these bags?

Yes. Custom printing is available on kraft, white, and black mylar bags. Minimum order quantities apply and vary depending on print complexity. Lead times for custom-printed bags are longer than standard stock. Contact us with your artwork file and estimated volume to receive a quote.

How does Brigade’s pricing compare to Dymapak?

Our wholesale pricing is competitive and is often lower per unit than distributor-marked Dymapak pricing, particularly at case quantities. The most accurate comparison is to request a quote based on the specific SKU and volume you require.
