Case Study

Co-Packer Adds Custom Mylar Bag Printing Service

A food co-packer invested in our printer for mylar bags to offer custom-printed packaging as an add-on service for their food brand clients. Previously requiring clients to supply pre-printed bags with 10,000+ minimums, they now print custom bags on demand with minimums as low as 100 units. The single-pass machine prints full-color brand artwork and variable data including lot numbers and nutrition information on stand-up pouches at 25m per minute. Food-safe UV inks meet all regulatory requirements for direct food contact packaging. The new service attracted 42 new brand clients in the first 8 months and increased average client revenue by 35%. They now run the printer two shifts daily to keep up with demand.

Cannabis Brand Brings Bag Printing In-House

a licensed cannabis producer purchased our printer for mylar bags to bring all their custom packaging printing in-house instead of ordering pre-printed bags from offshore suppliers. The machine prints their full-color brand artwork, required compliance text, and unique serialized QR codes directly on child-resistant mylar bags, with 100% verification of every code. Bringing production in-house reduced per-bag printing cost by 42% and cut lead times from 4 weeks to 3 days. It also eliminated the waste of obsolete pre-printed bags when regulations or branding change. They now update packaging designs monthly to stay compliant and run limited-edition strains with small minimum runs that were not feasible before.

Custom Packaging Shop Expands Bag Offerings

A small custom packaging shop added our compact printer for mylar bags to expand from custom boxes into custom flexible packaging for e-commerce and small food brands. The entry-level single-pass system handles short-run mylar bag orders profitably, with digital setup that requires no plates and minimal operator training. They now offer custom-printed stand-up pouches and flat mylar bags with 48-hour turnaround for orders under 1,000 pieces, a service none of their local competitors offer. The new bag printing service has grown to 30% of their total revenue in 10 months. The small machine footprint fits in their existing production space, and they were able to launch the new service without hiring additional staff.

Food-Safe Inks for Regulated Packaging Compliance

Food-Safe Inks for Regulated Packaging Compliance

Our printer for mylar bags uses low-migration food-safe UV inks that meet strict international food contact regulations, making it suitable for food, nutraceutical, and cannabis packaging applications. The inks are fully cured by the LED UV system with no residual monomers, and we provide all necessary certification documentation to support your regulatory compliance. Despite being food-safe, the inks deliver vibrant color and excellent adhesion on non-porous mylar and film surfaces when paired with inline plasma pretreatment. For regulated markets, this compliance is not optional—and our system is engineered to help you meet requirements confidently. You can serve food and regulated product clients with full assurance that packaging meets all applicable safety standards.
Single-Pass Speed for Cost-Effective Short Runs

Single-Pass Speed for Cost-Effective Short Runs

The single-pass architecture of our mylar bag printer delivers high throughput at speeds up to 30 meters per minute, making even short-run custom orders profitable. Unlike slow multi-pass flatbed alternatives, the single-pass design prints the full image in one continuous web pass, enabling production-level output for digital custom work. Combined with zero plate or setup costs, this makes order quantities as low as 100 bags economically viable. This capability lets you serve small brands, limited-edition products, and test marketing runs that pre-printed bag suppliers will not touch. For packaging businesses, this opens up an entirely new customer segment that drives growth and higher margins than traditional high-volume pre-printed packaging.
Integrated Variable Data and Verification

Integrated Variable Data and Verification

Our printer for mylar bags natively supports variable data printing and optional integrated vision inspection, making it ideal for applications requiring serialization, traceability, and compliance marking. You can print unique QR codes, serial numbers, lot codes, and variable text directly on every bag at full production speed, with 100% automated verification of every code. This is essential for regulated markets like cannabis and pharmaceuticals that require individual package traceability. It also enables personalized marketing and loyalty program features on consumer packaging. All variable data integrates seamlessly with your database or ERP system, and inspection results are logged for audit trails. This built-in capability eliminates the need for separate coding and inspection equipment, simplifying your production line and reducing total investment.
