If you’ve been considering using our innovative packaging for your brand, then you may wonder what puts the “stand” in the stand up bags and pouches themselves. The ability to stand upright on store shelves not only makes brand packaging more attractive but also allows for more products to be stored in a smaller space.
The space saving and stand up features found in our foil pouches and liquid packaging are created by a unique feature on our packaging design called a gusset. Gussets add strength and expansion when applied to the bottom of our innovative packaging, and we offer three styles for clients to choose:
- Round Bottom – designed for products that weigh less than on pound, this gusset is securely attached to support walls of laminated barrier film in order to add strength and support.
- K Style Bottom – designed for products weighing one to 5 pounds, this style allows for added volume due to both seal sides rising at a 30 degree angle for bag walls.
- Plow Bottom – designed for products that weigh more than 5 pounds, this gusset style is not available with many other dry goods or food pouch manufacturers. Ideal for products such as sugar or salt because there are no seals. The entire pouch is made from one complete piece of barrier film for added strength.

Although not technically a stand up pouch, the flat barrier bag is also an available option for your product. This type of barrier packaging is sealed on 3 sides and works well for products that will hang on a display or lie flat, like beef jerky.
