Custom Printed Pouch Packaging

Flexible Packaging Configurations

Our Custom Stand Up Pouches and Lay Flat Bags Protect Your Products from Coming Into Contact with Moisture, Oxygen Contamination, or Decay

Gusseted Bag Configurations

Gusseted bags come in three primary configurations. Gusseted Stand Up Pouches, Box bottom bags, and Side gusseted pouches. The common element of gusseted bags is, as you might have guessed, the gusset! Gussets provide both added versatility and space, as well as shelf display capability. 

Stand Up Pouch

Stand Up Pouches are a versatile choice. First they "stand up" on a shelf, second the gusseted bottom increases the available volume of the pouch.

Box Bottom

A true flat bottom pouch, the box bottom pouch is commonly used for premium products such as coffee, they combine the flexibility of a pouch with the stability of a box.

Side Gusseted

Side Gusseted

Side Gusseted bags are a traditional style of flexible packaging that is extensively used for coffee. They offer a balance of practical storage and efficient use of shelf space.

Side Gusseted

Quad Seal Pouch

Quad Seal is a pouch configuration that is lower in cost to a full flat bottom box bottom pouch but with a similar shelf display presentation. 

Flat Pouch Configurations

Custom Flat pouch configurations are commonly used where there is no need for shelf display. Flat pouches can be fold over bottom 2-seal or a 3-seal pouch which can either be supplied to you as a top loading (load the product the same way the consumer removes it) or bottom loading tamper evident configuration, where the product is loaded from the bottom then the pouch is sealed. 

2-Seal Pouch

2-Seal Pouches are simple pouches that provide a fold over bottom which conforms to the contents. These are in essence zip lock style bags.

Artwork is separated into four ink colors: cyan, magenta, yellow and black (CMYK) This type of printing is best for small runs, or where you have a lot of different designs.
