Collection: Mylar Bags
When products need dependable protection during storage, handling, and transportation, the packaging material needs to match the demands of the application. At Royco Packaging, we supply Mylar® bags for customers seeking durable barrier packaging for industrial, military, aerospace, and specialty applications. Our experience allows us to look beyond the bag itself and consider the product, storage environment, sealing requirements, and intended use.
With nearly 50 years in the packaging industry, we understand that sensitive products can require protection from environmental exposure throughout their packaging lifecycle. We work with businesses and government organizations to identify practical packaging options that align with their specific requirements.
About Our Mylar Bags
Mylar bags are flexible barrier packaging products commonly selected when products require protection from external environmental conditions. Polyester film on its own is strong and puncture-resistant, but clear polyester is not a high moisture barrier and does not block light. The barrier performance buyers expect from a "Mylar bag" comes from a metallized coating or an aluminum foil layer laminated to the polyester.
At Royco Packaging, we approach Mylar bag requirements from an application-specific perspective. The appropriate bag depends on factors such as the dimensions of the product, storage duration, environmental conditions, sealing method, transportation requirements, and any specifications that apply to the project.
Our experience with military packaging is particularly valuable for customers whose products must meet defined packaging requirements. We manufacture and supply military packaging materials for demanding applications and understand the importance of matching materials and configurations to applicable specifications. Customers can learn more about our military packaging capabilities and the products we offer for defense-related requirements.
Mylar bags can also have applications beyond military programs. Industrial manufacturers may use barrier packaging when components need protection during inventory storage or transportation between facilities. Our industrial packaging solutions cover a broad range of packaging requirements for industrial products and operations.
We also serve organizations working in aerospace, where components can encounter demanding transportation, storage, and handling conditions. Our aerospace packaging solutions are developed with the needs of aerospace applications in mind.
Benefits of Our Mylar Bags
Barrier Protection
Metallized and foil-laminated polyester bags are often selected for their ability to create a barrier between packaged contents and the surrounding environment. This makes them useful for products where exposure to moisture, air, light, or other environmental factors could affect condition or performance.
Durable Flexible Construction
Flexible barrier packaging can offer practical handling advantages while maintaining a protective enclosure around the product. This can be useful when packaging needs to accommodate different product sizes or integrate into an established packing process.
Support for Product Preservation
Products that remain in storage for extended periods can face environmental exposure even when they are not actively being handled. Appropriate barrier packaging can form part of a preservation strategy designed around the product's storage requirements.
Adaptable to Different Applications
We understand that packaging requirements differ considerably between industries. Mylar bags can be considered for a range of specialized uses, and our specialists can discuss dimensions, material construction, closure methods, and other factors that influence the appropriate configuration.
Useful for Transportation and Storage
Packaging has to perform throughout the supply chain, not just when a product is initially packed. A properly selected barrier bag can help create a consistent protective layer while products are being moved, stored, or prepared for future use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Mylar bags commonly used for?
Mylar bags are used for applications requiring flexible barrier packaging. They can be considered for military, industrial, aerospace, and specialty products that require environmental protection during storage or transportation.
Can Royco Packaging supply custom Mylar bags?
We can discuss custom packaging requirements based on product dimensions, application needs, sealing requirements, and applicable specifications. Our specialists can help determine the appropriate configuration for your project.
Are Mylar bags suitable for military applications?
Only when the bag is built to the specification the contract calls for. For watervaporproof protection, that means barrier material qualified to MIL-PRF-131 and bags fabricated to MIL-DTL-117, Class E. A polyester bag that is not qualified to those specifications will not satisfy a contract that requires them.
