Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main difference between flat bottom bags and stand up pouches?

While both are technically  stand up bags, a flat bottom bag resembles a box-style shape due to the addition of side gussets and a flat base. A stand up pouch features an expandable gusset bottom only. These different gusset designs allow these pouches to stand on their own while on display.

Box bottom bags or flat bottom pouches with side gussets provide better product-to-package ratio. A box pouch is often used for food packaging, particularly for grains, cereals, seafood, snacks, coffee and more.

What design features can I add to make flat bottom paper bags?

Additional design features usually depend on the items for packaging – and this includes how we can create packaging using kraft paper materials. We offer several customisation options such as resealable zippers, spouts, degassing valves, one-way rip zip, easy-tear notches, and laser scoring – all available with kraft paper flat bottom pouches.
