Stand Out By Using Stand-Up Pouches

Stand-up pouches are a great way to make sure that your products are delivered safe and fresh to your customers.

Designed with a sturdy bottom gusset and a zip-closure at the top, these pouches ensure that products stand tall on display shelves while the contents are protected from moisture and other potential contaminants.


A Pouch for Every Purpose

Stand-up pouches are incredibly handy, effective, and cost-efficient in presenting products at their best. While food items are the most common items to use stand-up pouches for, its unique packaging design lends itself to other applications. Small pouches with a weight capacity of 2 oz. to 4 oz. are best for bite-sized snacks. These are small and handy enough to take with you while hiking on a trail or while on a break in between workouts. Mid-sized pouches are an ingenious way of displaying T-shirts and other pre-packaged clothing supplies. Pouches with capacities of 12 oz. and larger are perfect for cosmetic and bath care sets.

When Materials Matter

Barrier films protect your product from the impact of oxidation, moisture, and unpleasant odors that can affect its quality. All of our pouches are made with high-barrier material with an oxygen transfer rate (OTR) of .06 to .065.

We offer pouches in the following materials:

  • Clear Barrier Film is excellent for showing products off to customers and has the additional benefit of being crease- and crack-proof;
  • White Barrier Film offers a good solid background for full-color printing; and
  • Metallized Barrier Film is a polymer film coated on one side with a layer of aluminum to give it a glossy silvery appearance.

Each of these materials has the following properties in production:

Film Type Clear Barrier Film White Barrier Film Metallized Barrier Film
Average Thickness 4.6 mil. 4.6 mil. 3.1 mil
Oxygen Transfer Rate (OTR) <0.5 <0.5 <0.8
Construction 48ga. PET/3.0 mil. EVOH Coex/Ink/Laminate 48ga. PET/3.0 mil. EVOH Coex/Ink/Laminate 48ga. MET PET/1.5 mil. mLLDPE/Ink/Laminate
Oxygen Protection Full Full Optimal
Moisture Protection Optimal Optimal Full
Light Protection None Minimal Full
Printing Full-color with window Full-color Full-color metallized
White Ink Printing Yes, included Not applicable Yes, but optional
Note that all three film types are ideal for food items and can be used for both dry and liquid contents.

You can opt to add either of these coatings for additional shine or protection:

  • Gloss lamination for a brilliant shine making images more striking; or
  • Matte lamination which gives products a luxurious touch with its satin-like texture and is also smooth to the touch.

The zippers for these pouches are 10mm in height and centered vertically at 1.5" from the top trim.


Additional Options

Round-type or Euro-style -hang-holes for suspended display can be punched 1/4" from the top rim of each package.

Tear notches on both sides of the top for easy opening are automatically included.

Hi, At this time, unfortunately, our packaging is not child-resistant- although that is something we hope to provide in the future!

Hi Daniel, Thank you for your question. The price you see online is just for the printing cost. There will be additional charges for the shipping and taxes. You will only pay for the design services if we are designing them for you. Most of our customers submit their designs when placing an order. I would recommend the flat pouches its easy to keep and carry around.

Thank you for your question! Definitely! You have an option to have a clear window on your pouches! You may customize the specifications and printing type for it to perfectly fit your need! You may choose "Full Color With Window" under printing. If the options you need can't be configured online, you can submit a custom quote request here: https://module.nextdayflyers.com/secure/custom-printing-quote

We don't have technical information on the temperature ranges that the pouches can be stored in without being damaged. But since these are plastic, they should be ok with being stored in refrigerators and freezers. We would still recommend you to order a sample to see if these would work for what you need; you can give us a call at 855-898-9870 to request a sample pouch. Note: The pouches are not designed to be airtight or vacuum-sealed.

Yes, the price includes printing on the front and back on the outside of the pouches. We're currently not able to print on the inside as this has a laminate to protect the product once packed. We can print on the entire outside of the pouch (without bleed on the sides) and the color of the background will determine the color of the outside of the pouch. You can send a request for a print template to customercare@nextdayflyers.com--this should help you get a better idea of how to set up your artwork for front and back printing. Make sure to let us know the product, size, and color (full color, full color with window, or full-color metalized) you need so we can send you the right template. You can also give us a call at 855-898-9870 for further assistance with the file set-up.

You will need an impulse heat sealer to seal these after filling. If you don't have one yet, you can check out available options on this site: - https://www.uline.com/BL_2253/Tabletop-Poly-Bag-Sealers-Impulse - https://www.uline.com/BL_2252/Foot-Operated-Poly-Bag-Sealers-Impulse (Note: NextDayFlyers is not an official partner of ULine. ULine terms and conditions apply for orders placed through their site.) There are tabletop and foot-operated options depending on the volume you need to seal.
