Question 1

How do I choose the right material for my stand up pouch?

Accepted Answer

Start with what matters most. Classic is a metallized (mylar-style) film with the strongest moisture and oxygen barrier, the safest choice for sensitive or premium products like coffee, snacks, powders, and pet treats. For the most demanding products, Classic High Barrier adds an aluminum foil layer for even stronger protection. Choose Recyclable if a recycling-friendly direction matters to your brand: it is a mono-material PE film with an EVOH barrier, designed for the PE recycling stream. Choose Compostable kraft if compostability and sustainability storytelling matter most: it uses kraft and PLA for products with lighter protection needs.

Question 2

What sizes do custom stand up pouches come in?

Accepted Answer

Custom stand up pouches range from small snack and sample sizes to larger bulk fills, with common options at 4oz, 8oz, 12oz, 1lb, and 2lb. You can also set a custom size in the design tool to match your exact product, from coffee and tea to nuts, snacks, powders, and pet treats.

Question 3

What is the difference between matte, gloss, and soft touch lamination on stand up pouches?

Accepted Answer

Lamination sets the surface look and feel of your finished pouch. Matte gives a smooth, low-glare finish. Gloss gives a shiny, vibrant finish. Soft Touch gives a velvety, premium feel. Matte, Gloss, and Soft Touch are all available on Classic film; Recyclable offers Matte and Gloss; Compostable comes in natural or white kraft only.

Question 4

What is the minimum order quantity for custom stand up pouches?

Accepted Answer

Our minimum order starts at 100 units, suitable for first launches, market tests, limited drops, and small-batch product lines, with wholesale and bulk pricing as volumes grow. Larger quantities lower your unit cost, and you can see the savings at each tier as you configure your order.

Question 5

What factors affect the price of custom stand up pouches?

Accepted Answer

Price is determined by pouch size, order quantity, material type, barrier level, lamination, decorative finishes, and shipping speed. Larger quantities lower the unit cost, while High Barrier and expedited shipping add to it. The landed price updates live as you configure your order so there are no surprises.

Question 6

How long does production and shipping take for stand up pouches?

Accepted Answer

Standard production takes 7 to 12 business days after proof approval. Shipping time then depends on the tier you choose: Express is the fastest at around one week, with Priority, Standard, and Economy available at lower cost and longer transit times. Exact timelines are shown as you configure your order.

Question 7

How do I know which barrier level my stand up pouch needs?

Accepted Answer

Match the barrier to how sensitive your product is. For dry, low-sensitivity goods like tea or sample packs, a standard barrier is usually sufficient. For products sensitive to moisture, oxygen, light, or aroma loss, such as coffee, supplements, and powders, enable High Barrier, which adds a foil layer for the strongest protection. Simple rule: the more sensitive the product, the higher the barrier should be.

Question 8

Which stand up pouch material has the longest shelf life?

Accepted Answer

Classic metallized film offers the strongest protection and suits the longest shelf-life requirements, ideal for coffee, powders, supplements, and other freshness-sensitive products. Recyclable PE film with an EVOH barrier works well for most dry foods and snacks. Compostable film typically supports a shelf life of around 6 to 12 months depending on the product and storage conditions.
