Features

Get your product noticed with stand up pouches.

According to the Paper and Packaging Board, 7 out of 10 consumers believe that product packaging influences their buying decision. Make that number count for your business by using custom stand up pouches for your packaging.

Stand-up pouches make your products look attractive and professional. With user-friendly features like tear notches, zippers, and hang holes, stand-up pouches can give your product a premium look.

Versatile and practical, these pouches are excellent choices for liquid, dry, and even powdered products. Use them in packaging a variety of products including snacks, powdered beverages, pet food, household products, health supplements, pharmaceutical products, beauty accessories, and other non-food items.

Let Your Products Stand Tall on the Shelf

Stand up pouches have bottom gussets that expand when filled, allowing products to stand securely on the shelves. This way, the pouches rest on a solid base and will not topple.

These puncture and tear-resistant pouches come in a wide range of sizes and capacities:

Pouch Size Volume Coffee Beans
(Weight)
Flour (Weight)
3.25" x 4.75" x 2" 1/3 cup 1 oz. 2 oz.
4.375" x 6" x 2" 1 cup 3 oz. 7 oz.
5" x 6.5" x 2.5" 1-1/3 cups 4 oz. 10 oz.
5" x 7" x 3" 1-1/2 cups 5 oz. 11 oz.
5.75" x 7.5" x 2.5" 2-1/4 cups 7 oz. 1 lb. 1 oz.
6.5" x 8" x 2.5" 3-1/4 cups 9 oz. 1 lb. 7 oz.
6.75" x 8.5" x 3.5" 3-3/4 cups 11 oz. 1 lb. 10 oz.
7" x 9" x 3" 4-1/2 cups 13 oz. 2 lbs. 1 oz.
7.25" x 6" x 2" 1-1/2 cups 5 oz. 13 oz.
8.125" x 10" x 3.5" 8-1/2 cups 1 lb. 8 oz. 3 lbs. 4 oz.
9.875" x 10.5" x 3" 11-1/2 cups 2 lbs. 1 oz. 4 lbs. 8 oz.
12" x 12.5" x 3.5" 20-1/2 cups 3 lbs. 9 oz. 7 lbs. 13 oz.

Note: Measurements are in width x height x bottom gusset width. Capacity is an estimation only.

Stand-up pouches are commonly used for food, but you can fill them with almost any type of product.

In addition to the bottom gussets, stand-up pouches also come with the following features to make displaying, opening, and storing a lot easier:

  • Zippers keep products fresh by sealing off the package after use. It also makes storing leftover items without any need for jars or other containers.
  • Tear-notches make opening the pouches easier. No need to use a pair of scissors or other tools.
  • Heat seals make the pouches leak-proof. This makes packaging liquid products a lot more convenient.
  • Hang holes allow you to display your products on a hook if you're short on shelf space. Choose between a round or euro (sombrero) hang hole.

 

Extend the Shelf Life of Your Product, Not Its Stay on the Shelf

Stand-up pouches also help extend the life of your products. Barrier films prevent moisture and oxygen from entering the pouches and in doing so, help prolong the life of both food and non-food products.

Barrier films offer different levels of protection. The oxygen transfer rate (OTR) indicates how much oxygen can pass through the packaging. Lower OTRs mean that less oxygen passes through the material.

Below are the materials we use for custom stand up pouches:

White Barrier Film Clear Barrier Film Metallized Barrier Film

Customize Your Own Stand-Up Pouches

Product packaging communicates what your brand stands for and what it can do for your customers. Here’s how you can design stand-up pouches that stand out on the shelves:

  • 1. Create artwork that represents your brand.
    Are you into a minimalist design? Or do you like to add a pop of color to your packaging? Regardless of your design preference, your artwork should stay on brand so that customers can easily remember it. Use colors and typography that best reflect your brand personality.
  • 2. Make certain areas of your design pop out with white ink.
    White ink can make your design look more vibrant. It’s useful when you want specific areas of your artwork to appear white. Without it, the design will have the same color as the film underneath it. White ink is available on clear and metallized Film.
  • 3. Choose the coating for your pouches.
    Matte coating has an elegant finish. It has a muted appearance, which is best suited for brands that want to look classy and polished. Gloss coating has a shiny appearance that makes the color look more vibrant. Bright colors combined with the shiny finish are perfect for brands that want to appear bold and fun.
  • 4. Add helpful product information.
    Make it easier for customers to decide that your product is best by adding useful product information. Nutritional information, directions on how to use, ingredients, and best by dates are handy when customers are confronted with similar products.

Q:
Do you offer this product in a Kraft finish?
Asked 25 days ago by Jimmy S.
A:

Unfortunately, we don't have that option for this product.

Q:
Can you send me samples of various sizes, please? I own two weight loss medispas, and we are looking to repackage products in large quantities and we have a variety of sizes needed, depending on what fits the products and shelves best.
Asked 6 months ago by Cara W.
A:

Unfortunately we do not have samples to give customers at the moment. If you check in the Configure and Price section, there are 13 sizes to choose from. This includes the width and heigh as well as the gusset. The measurement of the gusset indicates how wide the package can expand so you will have an idea if the product you have will fit.  

Q:
how do you seal the pouch if it doesn't have a zipper
Asked 7 months ago by Amy F.
A:

There is an option for a zipper. On the Configure and Price area, you can select the option for Reclosable Zippers as well as a Tear Notch for easy opening.

Q:
Are the measurements referenced to the bottom of the seal or for the enter packaging? i.e. for the XXL, would an item 13.25 inches in length zip in the pouch?
Asked 7 months ago by Matthew W.
A:

The measurement is to the edge of the pouch so you would actually need to measure the items to fit below the tear mark which is 1" below the top edge of the pouch. Then there is another 0.75" below the tear for the reclosable zipper (if selected). These measurements for the tear and zipper are standard for all the pouch sizes. An item 13.25" long will not fit.
