Stand Up Pouches

Custom stand up pouches combine a bottom gusset with a large printable front and back area. They are commonly reviewed for snacks, coffee, tea, pet treats, powders, dry food and selected non-food products. Material, closure and printing should be chosen around the actual contents, target shelf life and filling process.
