Custom Stand Up Pouches

Print247’s Custom Stand Up Pouches Sell Right Off the Shelf

Your pouch is the one piece of branding your customer carries home.. We print custom stand up pouches in full color including the front, back and bottom gusset. We ensure every side of the pouch works for you. We match your brand colors to Pantone references and save your color settings on file, so your tenth reorder looks like your first.

We use FDA-compliant and food-grade films for standup food pouches. This includes snacks, coffee, treats, and supplements. Your Mylar pouches arrive open at the top and packed flat in shipping cartons. Your staff can fill them by hand or on an automatic pouch-filling machine, then heat seal the top with an impulse sealer. Once your customer tears it open, the zipper takes over.

Pro tip from our experts: keep barcodes and small text off the bottom gusset. That panel folds when the pouch stands, and a bent barcode won't scan at checkout.

Why Products Go Stale or Get Skipped in the Wrong Standup Pouch

Pouch problems rarely appear on the proof. They show up on the shelf three weeks later. Chips become soft when moisture seeps into the film. Coffee goes flat because oxygen gets past a thin barrier. The zipper splits the second time a customer opens it. Or the pouch tips over because the bottom gusset is too shallow for the fill.

Every one of these is a spec problem, not a bad-luck problem. So we plan the packaging with your product. Matching the film to your fill, sizing the gusset, and choosing a zipper that feels durable are all things we do. Then we make it look good.

Stand Up Pouch Sizes and Fill Capacity

Here's the mistake we see most. A brand orders by weight, then finds out their 8 oz of granola needs a lot more room than 8 oz of coffee. Dense products take up less space than light, puffy ones. You can use this chart to determine your size based on volume.

Fill weights are based on whole coffee beans. Leave about an inch of space above the zipper so the top can heat seal cleanly. If you’re not sure, then send us your product and fill weight. We'll size it for you, or we'll make any custom size you need.

Pick the Right Stand Up Pouch Material for Your Product

The film is what keeps your product fresh. Two numbers matter here: how fast air gets through (oxygen transmission rate, or OTR) and how fast moisture gets through (MVTR). Lower is better for both. 

Here's how our stand up pouch materials compare.

Selling something that hates light like coffee or vitamins? Go Metallized. Selling something people buy with their eyes, like candy or granola? Add a window and let the product do the talking.

Finishes That Make Buyers Pick It Up

Shoppers touch a pouch before they buy it, so the finish is the first thing they judge. We offer various finishing options suitable for a wide range of businesses. Our matte lamination gives a soft, low-glare look that reads premium under bright store lights. Gloss makes colors pop and photos look rich. Soft touch adds a velvet feel people notice without knowing why.

Want a bit more shelf pull? Put spot UV on just your logo over a matte base for a sharp shine-on-dull contrast. Or add gold, silver or holographic foil to catch the light as you walk down the aisle.

Stand Up Pouches for Food, Coffee, Supplements and More

Every product asks for something different from its pouch. Coffee and tea need a high oxygen barrier to hold their aroma, so we usually run them on Metallized or kraft film with a zipper. Snacks and candy sell on looks, which is why Metallized film with a clear window works so well for them.

Supplements and protein powder hate moisture and light, so they go on high-barrier white or Metallized film. There is a need for bigger gussets and thicker films for pet food and treats that can hold up under heavy fillings and daily openings. CBD edibles get a child-resistant zipper and opaque film. Bath salts, beauty products and spices usually sell best in smaller sizes with a hang hole for peg displays.

Wholesale Stand Up Pouches: Lower Price per Pouch as You Grow

Our minimum is 1,000 pouches. That's the point where your setup cost spreads thin enough to make sense for a real product launch. The more you order, the less each pouch costs. A 5,000 run costs noticeably less per pouch than a 1,000 run, and a 10,000 run drops again. The cost of reorders is also lower, since your artwork and color settings are already saved on our system.

How Your Stand Up Pouch Order Works

We need to know the size, material, quantity, and add-ons of your order, as well as your artwork in AI, PDF, EPS or ZIP format. If your design is not ready, then our team is here to build it from scratch. We send back a price, then a digital proof and a 3D mock-up so you can check every panel before anything hits the press. If you want to feel the material and finish first then ask for a standard physical sample kit. Once you approve, production takes 12 to 15 business days. We also offer rush production for fixed launch dates. Your pouches ship flat in cartons, anywhere in the US, ready to fill.
