Flat Bottom Pouch
Maximum shelf impact. Premium box-like silhouette. Five printable panels.
Flat bottom pouches (also called box pouches or quad seal pouches) represent the current high-end design in flexible packaging. The block-bottom construction holds its shape when filled, giving your product a premium, box-like silhouette on the shelf.
With five printable panels — front, back, two sides, and bottom — flat bottom pouches offer more branding space than any other pouch format. This is the format chosen by premium coffee brands, high-end pet food companies, and artisan snack makers.
