Side gusset pouches

Side gusset pouches are one of the most popular choices for flexible packaging. Their distinctive feature is the foldable sides, which allow you to fill each bag easily. As you add your products inside the bag, the folded gussets expand to accommodate your goods without risking the bag splitting or breaking. Due to their flexible nature, side gusset pouches are especially suited to smaller products, such as ground coffee or dried fruit. The gussets also help customers to pour out a serving of your goods without needing a scoop or forcing their hand inside the bag, which may break the material. Most side gusset pouches are made from high-barrier, tear-resistant materials like low-density polyethylene (LDPE), which protects your products from moisture and oxygen. You can also choose options like kraft paper with a polylactic acid (PLA) lining for a more natural aesthetic.

Side gusset pouches are one of the most popular choices for flexible packaging. Their distinctive feature is the foldable sides, which allow you to fill each bag easily.

Due to their flexible nature, side gusset pouches are especially suited to smaller products, such as ground coffee or dried fruit. The gussets also help customers to pour out a serving of your goods without needing a scoop or forcing their hand inside the bag, which may break the material.

Most side gusset pouches are made from high-barrier, tear-resistant materials like low-density polyethylene (LDPE), which protects your products from moisture and oxygen. You can also choose options like kraft paper with a polylactic acid (PLA) lining for a more natural aesthetic.

Another benefit of side gusset pouches is how easy they are to customise. The bold front and back panels are great for adding your branding and product information. You can also include more information on the side gussets themselves, which present an opportunity for storytelling and additional descriptions. While digital printing is the most common way to customise side gusset pouches, you can also include a card slot to add tasting cards or additional marketing materials to your bags.

To enhance the customer experience, you can easily incorporate tear notches and resealable zippers. They ensure your bags are easy to open and just as simple to close between uses, which helps to keep your products fresh. This is essential for products like fruit or dried meat, where food safety is a top priority.
