Need a sample to test your product in a stand-up pouch? You can certainly do that with us! It's free with the first request too. Make your choice of product and select the size you need.

Do not choose a pouch size based only on the weight of your product. The volume of your product determines how much space you actually need.

The density and shape of the product also matter. You also need enough space to fill the pouch properly and close it correctly afterwards. The right size therefore depends on the combination of product, contents and filling process.

That is why we recommend testing the size with your own product. PouchDirect can send samples in different sizes, so you can easily find the pouch that fits best.

The right protection for your pouch depends on the product, the required shelf life and how the product is stored.

Material thickness alone does not determine how well a pouch protects your product. The material structure also affects protection against oxygen, moisture, light and loss of aroma and flavour. Coffee, for example, may need strong protection against oxygen, while moisture protection can be more important for powders or snacks.

PouchDirect looks at your product, required shelf life and application before recommending a material. This helps you choose a pouch with the right level of protection.

Which pouch is suitable for your product depends on the product itself, the desired shelf life and how you use the packaging.

Important factors include protection against oxygen, moisture, light and loss of aroma. The filling method, weight, product volume and desired appearance also determine which pouch is suitable. Coffee, for example, requires different barrier properties than snacks, powders or pet food.

PouchDirect helps you choose the right material structure, size and design. You can test samples beforehand to see which pouch works best for your product and filling process.

A doypack and a flat bottom pouch mainly differ in their construction and the way they stand.

A stand-up pouch, also known as a doypack, has a bottom gusset that opens up when the pouch is filled. This allows the pouch to stand upright on its own. A flat bottom pouch has a completely flat base and side gussets. This generally makes the packaging more stable and gives it a more box-like shape.

Thanks to its flat front, back and side panels, a flat bottom pouch also offers plenty of space for branding.

Stand-up pouches offer good protection from light, air and moisture, keeping products fresher for longer and preserving quality for a longer period of time. Stand-up pouches can be used to store different types of products, such as food, snacks, dried goods, cosmetics and more. However, it is important to check that the stand-up pouch is suitable for your specific product requirements, such as barrier properties, product shelf life and any special (storage) conditions. Choosing the right stand-up pouch and using it in the right way will allow products to be stored safely and effectively for long periods of time. Any questions?

Yes! We lead the way with mono-material pouches (PE or PP) that meet the strict EU PPWR requirements. Some stand-up pouches are composed of different materials, which makes recycling more complex, but can be used as fuel for power plants through waste separation.

To find your suitable stand-up pouch, you can consider the following points:

What do you like and fit well with your product and corporate identity?
Volume: determine what size you need for the quantity you want to pack of your product.
Properties: what does your product need to stay fresh? Think resealability, heat resistance and/or protection against oxygen and moisture.
Finishes: take a valve if you are packing coffee, choose a window if you want to see the product. Choose from many options to make the bag more beautiful: shape, matt or gloss, and so on.
Closure: choose a suitable closure option. Do you want a zipper or not? Or a front zipper? Or is your product liquid and do you need a spout?
Durability: how important do you think this is? Will you choose a stand-up pouch that is fully recyclable?
For print runs of 5,000 units or more, you can also have the bags fully custom-made. If you can't decide, we will be happy to help you find the right stand-up pouch. Feel free to get in touch or give us a call!

The most common ways to fill and seal stand-up pouches are as follows:

Manual filling and sealing: for small quantities or prototypes, stand-up pouches can be filled manually with the desired product and then sealed using a sealing machine or manual sealer.
Semiautomatic filling and sealing machines: for larger production volumes, you can fill and seal your stand-up pouches using automated filling and sealing machines. These machines can accurately dose the product and help you fill and seal the stand-up pouches quickly and efficiently.
Fully automatic filling and sealing machine: are you looking for a machine that fills your stand-up pouches fully automatically? With the Buffalo 200, you no longer have to do anything yourself. This machine takes care of everything: from picking up the bag to labelling and sealing.
