Mylar Pouch Terminology

Key Components of a Mylar Pouch

Zipper:

Push-to-Close: This type of zipper requires a gentle push to seal the pouch, offering convenience and ease of use.

Child-Resistant: Designed to prevent accidental access by children, these zippers necessitate a specific technique to open, ensuring product safety.

Tear Notch: A pre-cut notch on the pouch, typically located at the top, facilitates easy opening. This feature enhances user experience, especially for products that require frequent access.

Gusset: A folded expansion panel on the side of the pouch, gussets provide additional space for product storage. They are particularly useful for bulky items or those that require a larger volume.

Coating:

Gloss: This coating imparts a shiny, reflective finish, making the pouch visually appealing and eye-catching.

Matte: A non-reflective coating that provides a subtle, elegant look.

Soft-Touch Matte: This coating offers a velvety, tactile sensation, adding a premium feel to the packaging.

Hang Hole: A small perforation or cut-out on the top of the pouch allows for easy display on retail shelves using hooks or hangers.

Window: A transparent panel on the pouch, typically made of clear plastic, enables consumers to view the product inside without opening the package. This feature can enhance product visibility and sales.

Artwork and Die-lines

Creating visually striking and informative packaging is essential for attracting consumer attention. To ensure accurate and effective artwork placement, designers often work with dielines. A die-line is a technical drawing that outlines the shape and dimensions of the pouch, including all its components.

When designing artwork for mylar pouches, it's crucial to consider the following:

• Bleed and Safety Margin: To prevent white edges on the final product, artwork should extend beyond the trim line. A safety margin should also be included to account for potential printing and cutting variations.

• Color Accuracy: Accurate color reproduction is essential for maintaining brand consistency. Using industry-standard color profiles and proofs can help ensure that the printed colors match the design intent.

• File Formats: High-resolution files in formats like PDF, AI, or EPS are ideal for printing.
