Reviews

What Our Customers Say

"We were using plain white bags with sticker labels for two years. The jump to custom stand up pouches tripled our repeat purchase rate at farmers markets. People pick up the bag before they even read what is inside."

Alicia R. / Granola Brand Founder

"I called three other companies before finding PackMint. Two had 10,000 unit minimums and the third wanted $4,000 in plate fees. PackMint did 500 bags with no plate fees and the quality is better than what we were getting at 10x the quantity."

James L. / Hot Sauce Company

"Our coffee bags used to look homemade. Now customers ask if we are a national brand. The matte finish with the clear window was exactly what we needed. Reordered three times already and the colors are consistent every run."

Sarah M. / Small Batch Coffee Roaster

FAQ

Stand Up Pouch FAQ

What is a stand up pouch and why is it the most popular packaging format?

A stand up pouch is a flexible packaging bag with a bottom gusset that allows it to stand upright on retail shelves. It is the most popular format in custom flexible packaging because it combines shelf presence with resealable functionality. Stand up pouches offer 360-degree print coverage, multiple barrier options, and work for products ranging from 1oz samples to 5lb bulk bags. They are used across food packaging, coffee bags, pet treat packaging, supplement pouches, and cosmetics.

What is the minimum order for custom stand up pouches?

The minimum order for custom printed stand up pouches is 500 units. There is no maximum order quantity. Per-unit pricing decreases as quantity increases. Unlike traditional flexographic printing which requires minimums of 5,000 to 10,000 units, our digital printing process makes short runs economical without sacrificing print quality.

What sizes do custom stand up pouches come in?

We offer standard stand up pouch sizes from 4x6 inches to 9x13 inches, plus fully custom dimensions. Common sizes include 5x8x3, 6x9x3, 6x10x3.5, 7x11x3.5, and 8x12x4 inches. If you need a custom size not listed, enter your dimensions in the quote form and we will price it. Every size is available with all barrier, finish, and feature options.

Are your stand up pouches food safe and FDA compliant?

Yes. All stand up pouches ordered with food-grade barrier films are FDA compliant and safe for direct food contact. We offer moisture barriers, oxygen barriers, light barriers, and grease-resistant films depending on your specific food product requirements. Our food packaging meets all FDA food-contact regulations.

What finishes are available for stand up pouches?

Stand up pouches are available in glossy, matte, soft touch, metallic, clear, frosted, spot UV, and foil stamp finishes. You can combine finishes for a premium look. Matte with spot UV accents is popular for premium brands. Kraft paper finish with a clear window is popular for natural and organic products. Every finish is available on every pouch size.

How long does production take for custom stand up pouches?

Standard production turnaround is 3 weeks from artwork approval to delivery at your door. Every order includes a free digital proof before printing. Nothing goes to press until you approve the proof. We ship across the United States with tracking on every order.

What features can I add to my stand up pouches?

Available features include resealable press-to-close zippers, slider zippers, clear windows in custom shapes, tear notches for easy opening, euro and round hang holes for retail peg display, degassing valves for coffee packaging, and rounded or straight bottom gussets. All features are available on all sizes.

Can I get a sample before placing a full order?

Yes. We offer sample packs so you can feel the material quality, test the barrier performance, and evaluate the print quality before committing to a production run. Samples are the best way to confirm the right pouch specification for your product.

Do you offer design services for stand up pouch packaging?

Yes. We offer packaging design services ranging from single pouch layouts to complete brand packaging systems. If you have a logo but need help with the full pouch layout, our design team handles everything including typography, color, imagery, compliance panels, and print-ready file preparation. Free dieline templates are also available if you prefer to design your own.

What barrier options protect my product inside a stand up pouch?

We offer multi-layer barrier films including moisture barriers for dry goods, oxygen barriers for products that oxidize, light barriers for UV-sensitive products, and grease-resistant films for oily foods. Foil-lined stand up pouches provide the highest level of barrier protection. Metalized films offer a balance between barrier performance and cost. We match the right barrier combination to your specific product.
