Buyer's guide · Mylar bags
Last updated: September 2026 · By TWO Packaging
If you sell flower, the eighth is your bread and butter. The 3.5 gram bag is probably the SKU you move more of than anything else, which is exactly why it's worth getting right. 🌿
So a few honest thoughts on custom cannabis mylar bags 3.5g, since it's such a workhorse size.
An eighth doesn't take up much room, so the bag needs to actually fit it. Too big and the product looks lonely and cheap floating around in there. Dialed in and it feels full and intentional. Same exact flower, totally different impression.
Child resistant and smell proof, both required in most markets, and both things a proper mylar bag just handles for you. A resealable zipper too, since nobody finishes an eighth in one sitting.
That barrier keeps the flower from drying out and holds the smell in, so what the customer opens is what you actually packaged. Cheap bags leak on both fronts and the product pays for it.
And here's the thing people overlook. Because it's your highest volume bag, it's also your biggest branding surface out in the world. More eighths go home with customers than any other size, so that's the bag people see the most. Might as well make it look like you.
This is the size where ordering smart really pays off. You go through so many of them that small upgrades add up fast, and buying the right quantity keeps your cost per unit down.
