Buyers search "3.5 g mylar bags" expecting a pouch that holds 3.5 g of anything. Fill weight is not pouch volume — here is the real size chart and how to pick the right one.
These are the sizes we keep in standard tooling. Every dimension is made to order too — send your own size and we build the dieline around it.
| Size (label) | Pouch dimensions | What it typically holds | Common use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 g | 7 × 9 cm | ~1 g flower, a single-serve of small edibles | Samples, single-serve, retail impulse |
| 3.5 g | 9 × 13 + 6 cm gusset | One eighth — 3.5 g of flower | Flower, gummies, small snack packs |
| 3.5 g wide | 10 × 13 + 6 cm gusset | Same fill, wider footprint | Brands that need more label area |
| 7 g | 10 × 15 + 6 cm gusset | A quarter | Flower, larger gummy counts |
| 14 g | 12 × 17 + 6 cm gusset | A half | Flower, multi-serve packs |
| 28 g / 1 oz | 15 × 21 + 8 cm gusset | A full ounce | Flower, bulk retail |
| 1 lb | Made to order | Bulk | Wholesale, storage, B2B repack |
Shapes: stand-up (most common), flat (slimmer for mailers and single-serves) and custom die-cut to your own outline.
The classic mistake: a brand orders "3.5 g bags" to pack 3.5 g of gummies, and the pouches arrive looking half empty. The pouch was sized around flower, which is far bulkier per gram — 3.5 g of gummies occupies much less volume. The pouch was correct; the assumption was not.
Three things decide the right size:
Bottom line: do a fill test with your product in a sample pouch before you commit to a size. We supply samples on every order — it is the cheapest mistake-prevention in packaging.
Standard sizes exist because buyers ask for them constantly — but tooling follows your product, not the other way around. Send us the fill weight and product, or your own width × height + gusset, and we build the dieline around it. Minimums and pricing: see the custom printing page.
The questions buyers ask most about this.
The standard 3.5 g pouch is 9 × 13 cm with a 6 cm bottom gusset; the "3.5 g wide" version is 10 × 13 + 6 cm for brands that need more label area. Whether it fits your product depends on bulk density — do a fill test with a sample.
Yes with room to spare — gummies are denser than flower, so 3.5 g of gummies fills much less volume. If the pouch looks half empty, drop a size or ask for a smaller custom pouch.
Standard sizes run to 28 g / 1 oz (15 × 21 + 8 cm); 1 lb and any larger pouch is made to order — send the fill weight and we build the dieline.
Yes. Any dimension is made to order — send width × height + gusset, or just tell us the product and fill weight and we propose the pouch.
Yes. Sampling comes before bulk production on every custom order, so you can test size, film, print and zipper on your own product before committing.
We reply with pricing and a dieline, usually within 24 hours — free design service, samples approved before bulk production.
