Stand Up Pouches

Buyer’s Guide to Choosing Stand-Up Pouches

Stand-up pouches provide practical packaging for dry foods, snacks, confectionery, coffee and other retail products. Insinc’s range includes compostable kraft pouches and regular resealable zipper pouches in clear, paper-look, matt, shiny and windowed finishes.

Available capacities range from approximately 70g to 1kg, with selected products offered in packs of 50 or bulk cartons of 500 to 1,000 pouches.

Compostable or Regular Stand-Up Pouches?

Compostable kraft pouches are available in 70g, 150g, 250g, 500g and 1kg sizes. Compostability depends on the specific product certification and whether an appropriate composting facility accepts the packaging.

Regular zipper pouches are available in a wider choice of finishes, including black, white, brown paper, silver, clear and coloured options. Some also feature oval or rectangular windows so customers can see the packaged product.

Which Size and Finish Should You Choose?

Smaller 70g and 100g pouches suit samples, spices, confectionery and compact portions. The 150g and 250g formats work well for snacks and retail food products, while 500g and 1kg pouches provide more capacity for larger quantities.

Clear pouches maximise product visibility, while matt, shiny and paper finishes create different retail presentations. Windowed pouches combine branding space with a view of the contents. Check the stated dimensions and test your product’s volume before ordering, as the weight capacity will vary depending on density.
