Custom printed flat-bottom pouches for coffee, pet food, snacks and dry goods. A rectangular base and side gussets create a box-shaped pack with five printable panels. Choose your dimensions, material, finish and closures, then request a custom quote. Review and approve your artwork proof before production.
Five printable panelsStandard or custom sizesQuoted to your specs
Flat-bottom bags, also called box pouches, combine a rectangular base with side gussets for a defined shelf footprint. Five printable panels give your brand room on the front, back, sides and base. Use them for coffee beans, pet food, snacks and other dry goods; choose the material around your product’s protection needs.
Ask for a recyclable flat-bottom construction suited to your product and intended collection stream. Window, barrier and finish choices depend on the complete pouch structure.

What is a flat-bottom pouch?
A flat-bottom pouch is a flexible bag with a rectangular base and side gussets. It is also called a box pouch, flat bottom bag or box bottom bag. The format gives you five printable panels: the front, back, two sides and base.
How is it different from a stand-up pouch?
A flat-bottom bag has a defined rectangular base and side gussets, creating a box-shaped pack. A conventional stand-up pouch uses an expanding bottom gusset without the same box-shaped base and side panels. Choose around your product volume, shelf footprint, artwork and filling setup. Flat-bottom construction alone does not determine shelf life.
Are flat-bottom pouches the same as flat pouches?
No. Flat-bottom pouches have a formed base and side gussets. A flat or three-side-seal pouch is a different format with no gusset. Tell us whether you need a bag that stands on a shelf or a slim pack for a smaller fill.
Can I use flat-bottom bags for coffee?
Yes. Flat-bottom coffee bags can be configured with a resealable closure and an optional one-way degassing valve. Consider the roast, time between roasting and packing, oxygen and moisture barrier, and storage conditions. A valve releases gas; it does not replace a suitable barrier film or shelf-life testing.
What flat-bottom pouch sizes are available?
The builder includes 5 starting formats, with nominal capacities from 100 g to 2 kg, plus custom dimensions. These are size references, not guaranteed fill weights. Check width, height, side and bottom gussets with your actual product, including headspace and the opening required for filling.
Can I print my logo on the sides and bottom?
Yes. Plan your design across the front, back, both sides and base using the flat-bottom dieline. Folds and seals affect usable print areas, so keep key text and barcodes inside the safe areas. You approve the panel placement on a digital proof before production.
Which materials and closures can I choose?
Choose around your product’s oxygen, moisture, light and oil sensitivity. Ask about compatible barrier films, kraft constructions, recyclable or biodegradable specifications, resealable zippers, tab-and-pull closures and degassing valves. Your quote confirms which combinations are suitable; a pouch’s appearance does not establish its material or disposal route.
What is the minimum order and can I use multiple designs?
Minimum quantities are confirmed in your flat-bottom quotation, including the requirement for each artwork design. Provide the quantity for every flavour or SKU so the team can price the full run. Configure your flat-bottom quote to share the specification.
Can I get an instant price or order online?
Flat-bottom pouches currently require a custom quote. Configure your dimensions, material, quantity and features online, then submit them for pricing. The team confirms the commercial details before you accept the quote. The example prices on our stand-up pouch page do not apply to this format.
Will the bags work with my co-packer or filling machine?
Confirm the top opening, zipper position, seal area, filled dimensions and handling requirements with your co-packer. A flat base does not guarantee machine compatibility. Ask for an appropriate sample and run a filling and sealing trial before committing to the specification.
Can I check a physical sample and artwork proof first?
Request a sample to check the format, material feel, closure and fill. Availability depends on the construction. Your digital proof separately shows artwork on the dieline, including the side panels and base. Production starts after payment and final artwork approval.
How long will production and delivery take?
Your flat-bottom quote confirms production timing for the selected construction and quantity. Allow time for artwork preparation, revisions and approval before production, plus shipping transit afterward. Free standard shipping in Canada and the United States. See the shipping policy for coverage details.
What if there is a manufacturing issue?
Our 90-day pouch warranty covers manufacturing defects. Contact the team with your order number, photos and a description of the issue. See the Returns & Refunds policy for reporting requirements and remedies.
