Custom flat pouches for samples, portions and refills
Flat pouches have no bottom gusset. They suit packs that lie flat, hang or sit inside another package, giving samples, single servings and refills a compact format.
Choose a flat pouch for the pack’s job
- Samples and single servings: keep the portion easy to load and remove.
- Refills and multi-use packs: check whether the opening works for pouring or scooping and whether a compatible zipper is useful.
- Hanging displays: select an available hang-hole option and test the filled weight. For a package that needs to stand, compare stand-up pouches.
Check whether a flat format fits the job
Match the film to what goes inside the flat pouch
Flat describes the shape. Compare films for product contact, filling, sealing, storage and customer use.
Compare white for many dry, compact fills
Compare this for compatible dry foods, powders and solids, or a secondary pack around another sealed item.
- Why compare it
- White offers opacity, a neutral print base and the lower typical water-vapor transmission value in our material lineup.
- Tradeoff
- A flat format offers no rigid protection and the product still determines compatibility and barrier needs.
- Test before production
- Product contact, fill volume, opening, seal area, puncture, handling and target shelf life.
Compare metallic when oxygen or light matters more
Use this opaque option as primary or secondary packaging when lower oxygen transmission deserves more weight.
- Why compare it
- Metallic has the lower typical oxygen-transmission value in our material lineup.
- Tradeoff
- Its typical water-vapor transmission value is higher than white and clear, and it does not add rigid crush protection.
- Test before production
- Actual product contact, seals, light, puncture, movement in the pouch, storage and distribution.
Consider clear for samples and products worth showing
Use this as primary or secondary packaging when visibility helps the customer understand the contents.
- Why compare it
- Clear supports a direct product view while sharing the same typical transmission values as our white materials.
- Tradeoff
- Light, scratches, residue and movement remain visible.
- Test before production
- Shelf appearance, product contact, scuffing, seals, hanging or shipping and customer opening.
Choose matte or gloss for the look and feel
Matte: a lower-shine 1.3 mil BOPP exterior; the complete film averages 4.9 mil.
Gloss: a more reflective 1.2 mil PET exterior; the complete film averages 4.8 mil.
Compare the complete films. Our specifications list lower oxygen-transmission limits for metallic and lower water-vapor transmission limits for white and clear. Confirm temperature, humidity and other test conditions before comparing barrier data. These film values do not establish product compatibility, measured light protection, odor containment or finished-package shelf life.
Compare all six materials and finishes, including the full film details and downloadable specifications.
Check usable space, not just outside dimensions
- Trial-fill the planned weight or piece count with representative product.
- Allow for side seals, the top seal and any closure; each uses space.
- Test loading and customer removal with the largest pieces or intended serving tool.
- Check puncture and movement inside the pouch, plus fit in the retail display or shipping carton.
Use the pouch sizing guide to narrow the dimensions, then confirm the fit with physical samples.
Before production: prove the complete package
Before production, confirm loading, sealing, opening and handling with the selected size. A slim flexible pouch does not provide rigid crush protection. For food contact, review the complete construction against the actual food and conditions of use.
Official reference points: FDA food-contact conditions of use · FDA food-contact component status. Check the requirements for the actual product and selling market before production.
Flat pouch FAQs
Can a flat pouch stand by itself?
It has no bottom gusset to form a standing base. Choose a stand-up pouch when upright display is part of the package’s job.
Can I add a zipper or hang hole?
The configurator shows compatible choices for the selected size. For single-use packs, consider whether a zipper adds value; for refills, test the pouring or scooping opening.
Can I use a flat pouch for liquids?
Treat it as secondary packaging around a sealed primary container unless direct contact, leakage, seals and distribution performance have been established with the exact liquid and process.
