Product overview
Why brands choose this format.
Flat bottom pouches, also called box bottom or block bottom pouches, combine a flat rectangular base with two side gussets. Filled, the pouch stands squarely on the shelf like a carton while using far less material. Front, back, both gussets and the base can all be printed, giving your brand five panels of shelf presence, and a press-to-close zipper keeps the product fresh after opening.
Stands like a carton
The flat rectangular base keeps the pouch stable and upright on the shelf, even when partly empty.
Five printable panels
Front, back, two side gussets and the base — more room for branding, nutrition and usage information.
Press-to-close zipper
Resealable zipper keeps the contents fresh after opening and adds consumer convenience.
High barrier options
Foil, metallised and KPET structures protect against oxygen, moisture and light for longer shelf life.
Higher fill capacity
The box shape holds more product in a smaller footprint than a standard stand-up pouch.
Premium shelf impact
A crisp, square profile signals quality and makes the pack stand out against round-bottom formats.
