Mylar Bags vs. Glass Jars for Concentrates: Which Should You Use?
Concentrate brands ask this a lot: bag it or jar it? Both protect your product — they just win in different situations. Here’s a straight comparison so you can pick the right one.
Quick comparison
| Factor | Mylar bags | Glass jars |
| Protection (light/air) | Excellent — fully opaque, smell-proof | Good — but clear glass needs UV consideration |
| Cost per unit | Lowest | Higher |
| Shipping weight & breakage | Light, won’t break | Heavier, can break in transit |
| Shelf/premium feel | Great with custom print | Premium, tactile |
| Best for | Volume, shatter, sauce in inserts, retail bags | Badder, budder, rosin, top-shelf presentation |
When to choose mylar bags
Go with mylar concentrate packaging when you want the lowest cost per unit, the lightest shipping, and full light/smell protection — especially for volume runs and for concentrates paired with a container insert. They also print beautifully for branding.
When to choose glass jars
Glass wins when presentation is the point — top-shelf badder, budder, or rosin where customers expect a premium, tactile jar. Child-resistant glass jars with custom lids and stickers signal a high-end product.
The move most brands make
Many run both: glass for the flagship top-shelf line, mylar for volume and value SKUs. That keeps margins healthy without cheapening the premium tier.
