How XYZ Edibles Extended Shelf Life with Custom Mylar Bags from Packaging Forest
When XYZ Edibles launched, they had a winning formula: great flavor, premium ingredients, sleek branding. But within months, complaints started rolling in.
“My gummies were melted.”
“The bag was hard to open.”
“Product went stale before the expiration date.”
Turns out, their stock packaging—basic ziplock pouches—was killing their shelf life and their brand reputation.
That’s when they made the switch to printed mylar bags from Packaging Forest. What happened next changed their business.
The Problem: Great Product, Weak Packaging
XYZ was using clear poly bags with sticker labels. Cheap and fast? Yes. But functional? Not even close.
The bags lacked:
Oxygen and moisture barrier
Child-resistant closures (a compliance issue)
UV protection (crucial for infused edibles)
Professional branding
The result?
Gummies lost their shape. Oils separated. Products degraded before reaching retailers. Reorders dropped.
The Solution: Custom Printed Mylar Bags
The team reached out to Packaging Forest, a leading packaging company in USA, for help.
Here’s what they did:
✅ Switched to Multi-Layer Mylar Film
Aluminum core to block light and oxygen
Heat-sealable PE liner for airtight security
FDA-compliant, food-grade layers
✅ Added Functional Features
Child-resistant zipper locks
Tear notches for clean opening
Matte-black finish with a glossy logo pop
✅ Full Custom Print
Front-to-back branded design
Color-coded SKUs for different flavors
QR codes for batch tracking
✅ Bulk Pricing Model
Transitioned to printed mylar bags wholesale orders
Reduced cost-per-unit while improving quality
The Results: Longer Shelf Life, Better Brand Trust
Within 2 months, complaints dropped to zero.
Key Metrics After Switching:
? Shelf life extended from 45 days to 9+ months
? Return rate dropped by 93%
? Retailers reported 2x faster sell-through
⭐ Customer reviews mentioned “premium feel” and “easy to open but child-safe”
Why Mylar Made the Difference
XYZ’s old pouches let air and humidity in. That destroyed the product before customers could enjoy it.
Printed mylar bags from Packaging Forest changed the game by:
Locking in freshness
Blocking UV degradation
Delivering shelf-ready branding
Meeting cannabis packaging compliance
And because the Packaging Forest team worked closely with XYZ’s small team, the learning curve was smooth—and fast.
Final Thought
Packaging isn’t just a cost—it’s an asset. It can protect your product, elevate your brand, and even extend your shelf life.
If your business deals in edibles, snacks, supplements, or anything fragile, don’t wait for returns to tell you something’s wrong.
