The SVG is sized in millimetres, so it opens at true scale in Illustrator, CorelDRAW and Inkscape. Confirm final specs with your pouch supplier.
How it is calculated
All calculations run in your browser and use millimetres internally. Inch values are converted at 25.4 mm per inch.
- Artwork size = trim size + 2 × bleed on each axis.
- Visible front height = total height − bottom gusset ÷ 2.
- Safe area width = width − 2 × side seal − 2 × 3 mm margin.
- Safe area height = visible front height − top seal − 2 × 3 mm margin.
- The zipper line sits at the entered distance from the top edge and runs between the two side seals.
- The hang hole is a 6 mm round hole centered in the top seal, so the top seal must be at least 10 mm.
- Pixels = millimetres ÷ 25.4 × 300 for artwork at 300 dpi.

Common pouch sizes
Examples use 3 mm bleed. Actual capacity depends on the product and filling density.
Frequently asked questions
What is bleed and how much do I need?
Bleed is extra artwork that extends beyond the trim line so no white edges show after cutting. 3 mm (0.12 in) is a common standard for pouches.
Where should I place text and logos?
Keep important elements inside the green safe area, away from the seals, the zipper and the bottom gusset fold.
Does the height include the bottom gusset?
Yes. Enter the total flat height of the finished pouch. The tool subtracts half of the gusset depth to get the visible front panel height.
Can I use the SVG in Illustrator or CorelDRAW?
Yes. The file is vector and sized in millimetres, so it opens at true scale. Keep it on a separate non-printing layer.
Are these dimensions final?
They are a planning guide. Seal widths, zipper positions and tolerances vary by supplier and film, so confirm them with your manufacturer.
