Do not choose a pouch size based only on the weight of your product. The volume of your product determines how much space you actually need.

The density and shape of the product also matter. You also need enough space to fill the pouch properly and close it correctly afterwards. The right size therefore depends on the combination of product, contents and filling process.

That is why we recommend testing the size with your own product. PouchDirect can send samples in different sizes, so you can easily find the pouch that fits best.

The right protection for your pouch depends on the product, the required shelf life and how the product is stored.

Material thickness alone does not determine how well a pouch protects your product. The material structure also affects protection against oxygen, moisture, light and loss of aroma and flavour. Coffee, for example, may need strong protection against oxygen, while moisture protection can be more important for powders or snacks.

PouchDirect looks at your product, required shelf life and application before recommending a material. This helps you choose a pouch with the right level of protection.

Which pouch is suitable for your product depends on the product itself, the desired shelf life and how you use the packaging.

Important factors include protection against oxygen, moisture, light and loss of aroma. The filling method, weight, product volume and desired appearance also determine which pouch is suitable. Coffee, for example, requires different barrier properties than snacks, powders or pet food.

PouchDirect helps you choose the right material structure, size and design. You can test samples beforehand to see which pouch works best for your product and filling process.

A doypack and a flat bottom pouch mainly differ in their construction and the way they stand.

A stand-up pouch, also known as a doypack, has a bottom gusset that opens up when the pouch is filled. This allows the pouch to stand upright on its own. A flat bottom pouch has a completely flat base and side gussets. This generally makes the packaging more stable and gives it a more box-like shape.

Thanks to its flat front, back and side panels, a flat bottom pouch also offers plenty of space for branding.

However, it is important to check that the stand-up pouch is suitable for your specific product requirements, such as barrier properties, product shelf life and any special (storage) conditions.
