Resealable barrier pouches for snacks, supplements, pet treats and coffee.
- Resealable zippers and tear notches
- Barrier films matched to your product
- Windows, valves and hang holes
In short
Custom stand-up pouches are printed flexible bags with a bottom gusset so they stand on a shelf, usually with a resealable zipper and a barrier film that keeps the contents fresh. Box Sense supplies them from 10 pouches, with production in 8–12 business days after proof approval. Shipping is free to any address in the USA.
About our stand-up pouches
Stand-up pouches have replaced many cans, jars and cartons for dry goods because they are light, ship flat, reseal and give the whole front for branding. Snack, coffee, tea, supplement, bath salt and pet treat brands use them from their first batch to national retail.
We supply pouches to your fill weight, in barrier films matched to your product, with zippers, tear notches, windows and hang holes, printed edge to edge. Orders start at 10 pouches, so you can test flavors before a big run.
Pouch options
Choosing the board
| Board | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| PET/PE laminate | Snacks and dry goods | Clear or white, good everyday barrier |
| Metallized or foil laminate | Coffee, supplements and oily foods | High barrier to light, oxygen and moisture |
| Kraft paper laminate | Natural and artisan brands | Paper look outside, barrier inside |
| Recyclable mono-material PE | Brands reducing mixed plastics | Designed for store drop-off recycling where available |
What affects the price of stand-up pouches
Every box is made to order, so each order is quoted individually. These are the things that move the price most, in order:
- Size. Larger pouches for heavier fill weights use more film.
- Barrier film. Foil and high-barrier laminates for oily or oxygen-sensitive products cost more than standard films.
- Features. Zippers, valves, windows and hang holes each add to the price.
- Finish. Spot matte, soft-touch and metallic effects cost more than a single matte or gloss finish.
- Quantity per design. Short digital runs per flavor cost more per pouch than one longer run.

Choosing the right size
Pouches are sized by what they hold, not just by their outside dimensions: a bag that fits 8 oz of coffee is a very different size from one for 8 oz of granola. Send us your product and fill weight, or fill a sample pouch yourself, and we size the bag so it looks full on the shelf without being hard to seal.
Food safety and labeling
Food pouches use food-contact laminates on the inside. Packaged foods and supplements need FDA labeling, including the Nutrition or Supplement Facts panel, ingredients and allergens, and many retailers require a UPC barcode. We leave room on the back panel and print the content you supply.
How ordering works
- Send your specs. Product size, quantity and artwork (or just a logo). A packaging specialist replies with a firm quote within 24 hours.
- Approve the proof. We send a dieline and a 3D proof so you can see the box before it is made.
- Production. 8–12 business days, or 5 days on rush.
