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:

Flour (Weight) |

| 3.25" x 4.75" x 2" | 1/3 cup | 1 oz. | 2 oz. |

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 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Printing | Full color | Full color with window | Full color metallic |
| White Ink Printing | n.a. | Yes, included | Yes, optional |
| Average Thickness | 4.6 mil. | 4.6 mil. | 3.1 mil. |
| Construction | 48ga. PET/3.0 mil. EVOH Coex/Ink/Laminate | 48ga. PET/3.0 mil. EVOH Coex/Ink/Laminate | 48ga. MET PET/1.5 mil. mLLDPE/Ink/Laminate |
| OTR (Oxygen Transfer Rate) | <.05 | <.05 | <.08 |

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.

Customer Questions
Please download a template of the size you need. There is a selection of the sizes if you scroll down on the product page. This will guide you on the exact areas of the pouch you can put your background and artwork on even if you use our "Design Online" feature. When selecting a " Clear Window" , the material automatically defaults to Clear Barrier Film. This means the entire material is clear and we will print a white ink overlay on the areas you need to have color on. This will allow us to print your artwork as if you were using a regular white material. You may leave as white the areas that are clear. If you designed areas to be in white, then use a color that you are not using to indicate the clear areas. If you are not using the Online Design Tool, you may also use an additional layer to indicate clear areas. Since we require your artwork to be in a CMYK format, the layer could use an RGB color to indicate we won't print it. To be sure, once you have saved your artwork, give us a call before finalizing the order to get a free PDF proof before the job goes into production. This will allow you to see if the clear areas are exactly where you need them to be.
Yes, we wil print on both sides. We encourage you to download the template for the size you need which is avalaible on the product page. This will guide you on how to preapre your artwork as it will show you exactly where you should place the artwork so it will not be cut off or placed in areas where there should be no design elements.
You have a choice not to use the zippers. However, this won't allow you to seal the pouches once they have been opened. The pouches are sealed one time, using a heat sealer.
Unfortunately, we don't have that option for this product.
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.
