Pillow pouches

Pillow pouches are a common and versatile packaging format. Often suited to smaller servings of dried food like jerky or dried fruit, they usually have an airtight seal and large front and back panels. This makes them ideal for customisation and suitable for a range of add-ons like zippers. Unlike other flexible bag formats, pillow pouches don’t have bottom or side panels. This makes them better for grab-and-go products that your customers don’t need to store.

Pillow pouches are a common and versatile type of flexible packaging. They consist of a flexible material that is heat-sealed along the sides without gussets, giving them distinctive front and back panels. Often, pillow pouches also include perforated edges, which makes them easy for your customers to tear open. They are often made from food-safe flexible materials like low-density polyethylene (LDPE), so they’re especially ideal for packaging dried food like jerky or fruit.

Unlike other packaging types, like side gusset or stand up pouches, pillow pouches don’t have bottom or side panels. This makes them smaller and more compact, so they’re suitable for grab-and-go products that customers don’t need to store. It also means they often come in smaller sizes, meaning they’re perfect for pet food or sauces and condiments.

Due to their smaller size and distinctive front and back panels, pillow pouches are suitable for high-impact customisation. Just like other bag types, you can use digital or rotogravure printing to add your own designs. This often includes product information, preparation instructions, and your own custom branding. For single-serve products where portability and convenience are key, your branding is particularly important. It means that if your customers are happy with your products and can immediately identify your brand, they’re more likely to buy from you again.

Alongside custom printing, you can include other custom features on your pillow pouches. Tear notches are the most common option, usually produced using a perforated notch at the top of bags so they’re easy to rip open. You can also add hang holes to make them easy to display on hooks in grocery stores and other retail environments.
