7 grams (Quarter Ounce) Direct Print Mylar Pouches
Premium custom direct print mylar pouches for 3.5g bags. Your artwork is printed directly onto the pouch for a cleaner retail finish than sticker bags, with print available across the front, back and bottom gusset.
Choose your quantity, finish and number of split designs. We check your artwork, prepare your production proof, manage the print run and support you from quote to delivery.
Free bonus: every 1,000pcs ordered includes one free single-sided custom 1lb display bag.
Best Value: 5,000pcs+ Rotogravure
For 5,000pcs and above, we use rotogravure printing. Premium finishes are included at no extra cost, so the only price difference is the number of split designs in the run.
Available rotogravure effects include gloss, matte, holographic, holographic prism, matte metallic, spot UV, spot gloss, soft touch matte, foil-style effects, double embossed details and multi-finish combinations.

Product information
Production Time
Direct print flower bags are made to order, so production time starts after your artwork and digital proof have been approved.
Standard Production
Standard direct print production is usually 10–20 working days after proof approval, depending on quantity, print method, artwork, finish and factory workload.
5,000pcs+ Rotogravure
Orders of 5,000pcs and above are produced using rotogravure printing. This gives the best print quality, sharper detail, lower unit cost and premium multi-finish options included.
Need It Faster?
Superfast production may be available on request. Please contact us before ordering if you have a deadline, launch date or event.
If your deadline is too soon for direct print, we may recommend sticker mylar bags instead, as these can usually be produced much faster.
Important
Production does not begin until your proof is approved. Please check your proof carefully, including spelling, size, QR codes, social handles, warning text, zipper position and gusset artwork.
Shipping & Collection
We offer UK delivery, international shipping and collection by arrangement from our SLAPSTA pick-up point.
UK Orders
UK orders can be shipped once production is complete and your order has been checked, packed and booked for dispatch.
International Orders
We can ship internationally. Delivery times and costs depend on the order size, destination, courier service and customs requirements.
Collection
Collection may be available by appointment once your order is ready. Please wait for confirmation before travelling to collect.
Express Shipping
Express shipping may be available depending on the order size and destination. Express shipping speeds up delivery after production, but it does not reduce the manufacturing time unless a superfast production queue has also been agreed.
Before Ordering
If you need your bags by a specific date, contact us before placing your order so we can check whether your deadline is realistic.

F.A.Q.
Some of our most asked questions.
Still need help? Contact Us
What is the minimum order quantity for direct printed bags?
Our minimum order quantity for direct printed flower mylar bags is 1,000pcs per size.
For 1,000pcs and 2,500pcs orders, we usually use digital direct print. This is best if you want a smaller professional run without ordering 5,000pcs straight away.
For 5,000pcs and above, we use rotogravure printing, which gives the best print quality, better finish options and a lower cost per bag. This is the option we recommend for established brands, repeat product lines, multiple strain designs or anyone who wants the most premium finish.
If you need fewer than 1,000pcs, sticker mylar bags are usually the better option.
How long does production take?
What is the difference between sticker bags and direct printed bags?
Sticker bags use a printed label applied to a stock mylar pouch. They are faster, cheaper at small quantities, and ideal for smaller drops, test runs or urgent orders.
Direct printed bags are manufactured with your artwork printed directly onto the pouch. This gives a cleaner, more professional retail finish because the print can cover the front, back and bottom gusset.
As a simple guide:
- Choose sticker bags for small orders, fast turnarounds or under 1,000pcs.
- Choose direct print from 1,000pcs upward.
- Choose rotogravure direct print from 5,000pcs upward for the best quality and best unit cost.
Direct print is the better long-term option if you want premium flower packaging that looks fully branded rather than labelled.
Will I see a proof before production?
Yes. Nothing goes into production until you approve the proof.
Your proof shows the artwork layout, front, back, bottom gusset, zipper position, seal area, size and finish placement where relevant.
Please check the proof carefully for:
Spelling
Colours
Logo placement
QR codes
Social handles
Website links
Strain names
Legal/warning text
Finish placement
Bag size and opening style
Once the proof is approved, production begins. Changes after approval may not be possible without extra cost or delays.
Can I customise the size, shape or opening style?
Yes. Direct printed flower bags can be customised in several ways.
Common options include:
Regular square edge bags
Regular round edge bags
Custom shape bags
Single-seal resealable opening
Child-resistant resealable opening
Heat-seal disposable pouches
Squeeze-to-open child-resistant zip
Standard foil or rainbow foil inside
Inside printing
Windows or transparent areas where available
Custom sizing may be available at no extra cost if the total surface area does not increase. Larger, wider, unusual or custom-shape bags may need a custom quote.
Custom shape / die-cut bags usually require a one-time tooling fee.
What happens if my bags arrive faulty or incorrect?
Your order is protected by the SLAPSTA guarantee.
If your bags arrive faulty, damaged, incorrect, or do not match the approved production proof, contact us straight away with clear photos and order details. We will review the issue and arrange a replacement, refund or suitable solution for the affected bags where applicable.
We cannot usually replace or refund bags for artwork mistakes that were approved on the final proof, so please check everything carefully before approving production. This includes spelling, sizes, colours, finish placement, QR codes, social handles and strain names.
What finishes can I choose?
For smaller direct print runs, you can choose finishes such as:
- Gloss
- Matte
- Holographic
- Matte metallic
- Spot UV
- Double embossed
- Multi-finish
For 5,000pcs+ rotogravure orders, premium finishes are included as part of the multi-finish option. This can include gloss, matte, holographic, holographic prism, matte metallic, spot UV, spot gloss, soft touch matte, foil-style effects, double embossed details and other premium finish combinations.
At 5,000pcs+, the finish itself does not increase the price. The price mainly changes if you split the order across multiple designs.
What are split designs?
Split designs let you divide one production run across multiple artworks of the same pouch size.
For example, instead of ordering 5,000pcs of one design, you could split the run across several strain designs, flavour designs or product lines.
Example:
- 5,000pcs total split across 5 designs = 1,000pcs of each design
- 10,000pcs total split across 10 designs = 1,000pcs of each design
This is ideal for flower brands with multiple strains. You get the benefit of bulk pricing while still having different artwork for each strain or product.
The available number of split designs depends on the quantity selected.
Do I need artwork before ordering?
You can order with finished artwork, or you can request design support.
If you already have artwork, please upload the front, back and bottom gusset files if available. We will check your files before production and let you know if anything needs adjusting.
If you do not have artwork ready, we can help prepare the design for your bags. Free design support is available with custom direct print orders, but logo design or complex brand creation may be quoted separately if needed.
Before anything goes to print, we send a digital production proof for you to check.
What is the free pound bag offer?
Every 1,000pcs ordered includes one free single-sided custom 1lb display bag.
For example:
- 1,000pcs = 1 free custom 1lb display bag
- 5,000pcs = 5 free custom 1lb display bags
- 10,000pcs = 10 free custom 1lb display bags
These are useful for display, storage, wholesale presentation or matching your main packaging range.
Free design support is also available with custom direct print orders.
