The Importance of Mylar Exit Bags in Custom Cannabis Packaging

When you visit a dispensary, you might have noticed the child-proof bags they provide for your purchases. These are called Mylar Exit Bags, and they play a crucial role in the cannabis industry. Let's delve into what these bags are and why they are indispensable in custom cannabis packaging.

What Are Mylar Exit Bags?
Mylar Exit Bags are specially designed child-proof bags that dispensaries use to package cannabis products for customers. They come with several names, including Mylar Kraft Paper and Mylar Ziplock bags, but their primary function remains consistent.

Key Features of Mylar Exit Bags:

Durability: Made to be rugged and long-lasting.
Odor-Proof: These bags are smell-proof, ensuring the aroma of your cannabis remains inside.
Versatility: They can be heat-sealed, tinted, and even customized to specific dispensary needs.
Compliance: Many are opaque to comply with Cannabis Exit Bag Laws.
Why Do Dispensaries Use Mylar Exit Bags?
Child Safety: Mylar bags are often tamper-proof and child-resistant, ensuring that cannabis products don't fall into the wrong hands.
State Regulations: Some states require Full Opaque Exit bags. Beast Coast Packaging offers two primary colors for compliance: Opaque White and Opaque Black.
Material and Construction: Mylar Bags are typically made of PET/PE plastic, are heat-sealable, and have a thickness of over 4 mil.
Preserving the Freshness of Cannabis
Proper storage is crucial for maintaining the quality of medical marijuana. When packed correctly, cannabis can remain fresh for up to a decade!

Do's and Don'ts of Storing Cannabis:

Do store your flower in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
Do use Mylar Weed Bags, Glass Jars, or Concentrate Containers with a neutral charge for storage.
Do use hygrometers to monitor and control RH levels.
Do vacuum seal your Mylar weed bags to reduce oxygen exposure.
Do separate strains to maintain individual flavors.
Don't store in plastic bags or containers, which can degrade your cannabis.
Don't store near heat sources.
Don't use tobacco humidors.
Don't store in the refrigerator or freezer, as this can harm the cannabis.
Don't store grinders, pipes, or other products with your medical cannabis.
Regulatory Insights

In states like Washington, Mylar Bags have stringent requirements. They must be constructed of PET/PE plastic, be heat-sealable, and have a thickness of over four mil. Additionally, they shouldn't have an easy-open table, dimple, corner, or flap to meet Child Resistant Proofing needs.
