Questions before you order.

The details on custom stand-up pouches, from your first design to delivery.

What is the minimum order quantity?

Custom printed stand-up pouch orders start at 500 pouches. Each artwork design or SKU must also meet the 500-pouch minimum. For ready-made, unprinted bags, browse our stock pouches.

Can I order multiple designs or flavours?

Yes. Add each design as a separate SKU and choose its quantity. For example, two flavours at 500 pouches each make a 1,000-pouch order. The quantities across your designs must add up to your total order quantity.

Can I choose a custom pouch size?

Yes. Choose a standard size or enter your own width, height and bottom gusset in the builder. Consider your product’s volume, shape and density, plus the opening needed for filling. Capacity estimates are approximate; use a physical sample to check fit when needed.

Which material will protect my product’s shelf life?

Choose around your product’s sensitivity to oxygen, moisture and light, along with its oil content and storage conditions. Shelf life depends on the product, material, seal and storage, so it requires product testing. Tell our team what you’re packing if you need help comparing the available structures.

Will these pouches work with my filling machine or co-packer?

Compatibility depends on your setup. Confirm the pouch dimensions, opening, closure and sealing requirements with your co-packer or filling team before ordering. A physical sample can help them assess fit and handling with your equipment.

Can I order now and upload my artwork later?

Yes. Choose to send artwork later, then upload it through your account before proofing. We accept PDF, AI, PSD, high-resolution JPEG and PNG artwork; see the artwork guide for preparation and other supported formats. You review and approve a digital proof before production.

What is the difference between a sample and a digital proof?

A physical sample helps you compare size, material feel, finish and closures. Availability depends on the configuration, so request samples and tell us what you want to evaluate. A digital proof shows your artwork and placement for approval; it does not replace a physical sample or product testing.

How long does production take?

Priority production takes approximately 15 business days; Value production takes approximately 4–6 weeks. Production begins after payment and final artwork approval. Shipping transit time is additional, so allow time for artwork preparation and proof revisions when planning your order.

Is shipping included in Canada and the United States?

Free standard shipping in Canada and the United States. Orders ship by UPS, with tracking provided when your pouches ship. Production time and shipping transit time are separate. See our shipping policy for coverage and delivery details.

What should I do if there is an issue with my order?

Contact our team with your order number, a description of the issue and photos of the affected pouches and packaging. We’ll review the issue with you. Coverage, reporting deadlines and remedies are outlined in our Returns & Refunds policy.

What are the technical specifications?

Stand-up pouches are also called doypacks or doy bags. Their bottom gusset expands to help them stand upright when filled. These are configurable products rather than one fixed specification; your final dimensions, construction and compatible features are confirmed with the order.
