Mylar bags that are not clear or single colored are prohibited...Can somebody please explain what qualifies a bag as a "Mylar bag?"
At what point does any plastic pouch, bag, packaging, etc. become guilty of being a "Mylar bag?"
I am quite sure that this is necessary to define precisely in order for a seller to know whether or not their product is a "Mylar bag." Restricted products policies should not include information that does not sufficiently distinguish what is restricted from what isn't restricted. For example, a policy like "should not contain more than 2.2% lidocaine..." is something that can be precisely identified, it can be measured against and compared leaving no room for confusion. There is a precise element involved. A lab can determine the presence of this.
But what is a "Mylar bag?"
Dictionaries refer to a trademark. Which would be accurate, considering "Mylar" is merely a trademarked brand of BoPET film. The trademark has not lost its registration due to genericide. So then what is a Mylar bag?
It is a fact that Mylar is a trademarked brand of polyester film. There is no disputing that.
Did Amazon mean to restricted "polyester film bags that are not clear or single colored?" Because if they did, then why wouldn't the policy say so?
If petroleum jelly was restricted, would Amazon really state they prohibit "the listing of Vaseline" and then expect that restriction to include other brands of petroleum jelly? This would not make any sense. The policy would say "petroleum jelly."
What is a Mylar bag?
The internet will then show you barrier bags that are metallized to describe the "material(s)" that constitute a Mylar (in this case, "mylar" bag)...So is that the definition? And if that is a mylar bag then what is the precise composition that makes it so? 2 or more layers of plastic and anything metallized? Metallized meaning what materials? And how much of it? And what about the plastic? Which plastic precisely? And so on...
Mylar is Dupont's trademarked brand name. If they make a bag and use their trademarked material, then is that what is restricted? And if so, then surely made with another manufacturers PET film differs and makes it not restricted? It would seem so, or are we going to continue to apply this "Mylar bag" definition to include anything and everything possible? THIS IS INSANE...if they meant PET material that is not clear or single colored, it would only make sense to do so. But they did not.
We need to define what a Mylar bag is before we persecute sellers for this via taking any plastic bag and considering it such. There are thousands of products made from PET which are bags that are not clear or single colored.
For the sake of marketplace competence and compliance, Amazon please provide a precise definition of what is meant by "Mylar bags." To clarify, I am not confused about the color part...Before getting to that part, we need to know if a bag qualifies as Mylar bag first...so please tag whatever mods necessary to provide us an answer once and for all,
