Bags are the supply a dispensary burns through fastest. Every eighth, every pre-weighed gram and every ounce that leaves the counter goes out in one. Buying them 25 or 50 at a time from a head shop or a marketplace listing works for a few weeks. Then the per-bag cost adds up, a reorder arrives with a different zipper from a different seller, and the shelf starts to look mismatched.

That is usually when a shop or small brand starts looking for a wholesale supplier. This article looks at one of them, PackTHC, a US cannabis packaging wholesaler: what it sells in mylar bags, what those bags cost at the time of writing, and what to check before you place a bulk order.

What matters when you buy bags in bulk

Size range comes first. Your bags should match the portions you actually sell, and a supplier that only stocks eighths and ounces leaves you buying grams and quarters somewhere else.

Closure type is next. Some states require child-resistant packaging on every retail cannabis product, others set rules by product type, and the bag’s zipper is part of that decision. After that, look at the case price, whether it drops as you order more, and whether you can get samples before committing to hundreds of units. Custom printing and lead times only matter once your brand is ready for them.

Who PackTHC is

PackTHC sells cannabis packaging wholesale from its New York headquarters, with additional locations listed in Texas, Florida, Michigan and California. Mylar bags are one category among many. The same catalog covers child-resistant pop top vials, pre-roll tubes, glass and plastic jars, concentrate containers, Chubby Gorilla bottles and pouches, paper cones, gloves and thermal receipt paper.

The company says it carries more than 2,500 SKUs and has supplied over 1,500 dispensaries. Its listed customers are dispensaries, cannabis brands, processors, farms and co-packers, and the site is age-gated to visitors 21 and over.

For a buyer, the practical upside of that range is consolidation. If you already order vials and pre-roll tubes, adding bags to the same order means one invoice and one delivery to track.

The mylar bag range

The plain mylar bag line comes in five standard retail sizes, each in black or white, packed 100 to a case. The bags use a resealable fresh-lock zip and are listed as smell-proof. If you want to buy weed bags in the sizes most dispensaries sell, this collection is the place to start.

Here are the case prices listed on the site at the time of writing, with the cost per bag worked out from them:

Bag size	Common name	Price per case of 100	Cost per bag
1 gram	Gram	$11.00	$0.11
3.5 grams	Eighth (1/8 oz)	$13.00	$0.13
7 grams	Quarter (1/4 oz)	$15.00	$0.15
14 grams	Half (1/2 oz)	$19.00	$0.19
28 grams	Ounce (1 oz)	$32.00	$0.32

Prices change, so check the product page before you budget. At these rates, packaging a 3.5 gram sale costs about 13 cents, which is small next to the price of the flower inside.

Beyond the plain bags, PackTHC sells pre-designed bags with printed artwork in 3.5 gram and 1 gram sizes (a 100-count case of one 1 gram design was listed at $14.99), plus stand-up pouches. Its FAQ says mylar options run from 1 gram pouches up to bags that hold a pound or more, which covers bulk flower storage as well as retail.

Black or white is mostly a shelf decision. Pick one and stay with it across sizes so your products look like a set.

Child resistance and state rules

This is where buyers make expensive mistakes. PackTHC’s mylar collection page states that child-resistant zipper bags are available and meet compliance requirements in regulated markets. The stock fresh-lock bags above are described as resealable and smell-proof, so read each product page to confirm whether the listing you are adding to your cart is the child-resistant version.

Then check your own state’s rules. Requirements differ on whether every product needs a child-resistant closure and what labeling has to appear on the package. PackTHC’s own buying guide tells customers to confirm state requirements before ordering. That advice holds for any supplier you use.

Custom printing

Once a product sells consistently, printed bags start to make sense. PackTHC offers full custom printing with your logo, brand colors, strain details and compliance text, through a quote form on the site. The company also lists in-house manufacturing and private label packaging.

Plan for two things. Minimum order quantities for custom printing are higher than for stock bags, and lead times are longer. If you are launching a new product or rebranding, request the quote early.

My advice for newer brands: start with stock bags and a printed label. Move a SKU to fully printed bags only after it has sold through a few reorders. That way you are never sitting on thousands of printed bags for a strain you discontinued.

Samples, pricing and support

PackTHC sells a sample kit for $19.99 in shipping, and that shipping cost is credited back when you place your first bulk order. The kit includes mylar bags along with pop top vials, pre-roll tubes, jars, concentrate containers and Chubby Gorilla samples. If you are switching suppliers, this is the cheapest way to test whether a bag seals well around your actual product before you buy cases.

A few other details worth knowing:

• Bulk discounts apply automatically, and larger orders get lower unit pricing.
• The company says it will try to match a lower price you find for the same product elsewhere.
• A size calculator on the site helps match product weight to package size.
• Businesses can apply through a wholesale registration form.
• Customer service runs Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM Eastern, by phone at +1 (816) 722-5842 or by email at hello@packthc.com.
• Newsletter subscribers get 10% off their first order.

Build some lead time into reorders. Processing and shipping take days, and running out of eighth bags on a Friday afternoon is a problem no shop wants.

Is PackTHC the right fit?

It fits best for dispensaries and small to mid-size brands that sell standard weights and want stock bags by the case without a large minimum order. The 100-count case keeps the entry cost low: one case of each of the five sizes comes to $90 at current prices. Buyers who already source vials or tubes there gain the most from adding bags to the same order.

It fits less well if you need a size or format the catalog does not stock, or if you need printed bags within days, since custom work takes longer than stock orders. And compliance stays your responsibility, so confirm the closure on each listing against your state’s rules.

If you are evaluating PackTHC, order the sample kit, fill a few bags with your real product and seal them. A week of handling those bags will tell you whether they belong on your shelf.
