5g Mylar Bags (Eighth) The highest-volume retail size
The eighth is the bestselling cannabis format in North America and our 3.5g mylar bags are built for it. Right size, right price, right shelf presence. If you're not getting your eighth bags right, you're leaving money on the table.
Built for cannabis. Made factory-direct.
Why 3.5 Grams Rules Retail
Walk into any dispensary and count the eighth bags on the shelf. They outnumber every other size by a wide margin. The eighth is the entry point for most consumers. It's enough to last a casual user a week or two. It's not a commitment like a quarter or an ounce. And at the price point, it's an impulse buy for people who came in for something else.
Our 3.5g bags are sized for exactly that amount of flower. Too big and your product looks stingy. Too small and it's packed tight, which customers read as old or compressed. We've tested this. The sweet spot is a bag that holds 3.5 grams with just enough headspace to look full without looking empty.
What Fits and What Works
A 3.5 gram bag fits an eighth of flower, obviously. But it also fits two or three pre-rolls if you're doing multipacks. It fits a half ounce of trim for edibles makers. It fits concentrates if you're doing a solid hash slab. The versatility is why we sell more of this size than anything else.
Thickness matters at this size. We use 4.5 mil minimum for eighth bags. Thinner bags puncture when the flower is dense and packed. Dense eighth bags are the number one failure point for cheap packaging. Go too thin and you're replacing product that leaked out in shipping.
CR options are available and required in most states. We can do a CR zipper or a CR slide lock. Both certified. Both resealable. Your customer buys an eighth, opens it, takes what they need, and seals it back up. That's how retail cannabis works now.

Is This the Right Packaging for Your Product?
Ideal For
- ✓ 3.5 grams of dried cannabis flower (the highest-volume retail SKU)
Not Ideal For
- ✕ Bulk volume storage (ounces/pounds)
- ✕ Heavy edibles requiring rigid protection against crushing
Material Specifications
| Construction | PET/VMPET/PE for budget options; PET/AL/LLDPE for premium preservation; matte or soft-touch exterior finishes |
| Thickness | 3.5 to 5.0 mil (3.5 mil is structurally sufficient for 3.5g payload; 4.5 mil feels more premium) |
| Oxygen Barrier (OTR) | OTR 0.5 to 1600+ cc/m2/day depending on foil vs VMPET construction (premium AL foil achieves lower end) |
| Moisture Barrier (MVTR) | MVTR 1.0 to 6.0 g/m2/day (MVTR critical to prevent flower drying and terpene loss) |
| Light Protection | 100% opaque with aluminum foil; partial with VMPET only |
| Odor Barrier | Complete with AL foil construction; reduced with VMPET-only budget options |
MVTR is critical for 3.5g bags to prevent flower from drying out and losing terpene content. Without proper barrier, THC degrades to CBN and terpenes evaporate. Below 3.5 mil, bags lack meaningful barrier properties. Premium 4.5 mil with true aluminum core extends shelf life from weeks to 12-18 months.

Why Factory Direct?
Because dimensional size is small, raw material costs are low. Factory-direct pricing at $0.08-$0.25 per unit eliminates 30-50% broker markup, making this highly cost-sensitive SKU even more competitive.
