Product Information
Square bottom pouches
Custom Printed Square Bottom Stand Up Pouches Wholesale: Zipper, Valve, Window, 9-Color Print
Custom printed square bottom stand up pouches are made to your size, film structure and artwork, with digital runs from 1,000 pcs per design.
A square bottom pouch has a flat base and folded side gussets, so it stands as a box on the shelf. You get five printable faces: front, back, two side gussets and the base fold. Coffee, granola, pet food and powders are the usual fills, usually with a zipper, and for fresh coffee a degassing valve.
Printing, lamination and bag making run in one cleanroom plant in Shenzhen, so size, material and artwork stay under one team. Every bag is leak-tested before shipment.
- Print — Digital or gravure, up to 9 colors in house
- Closures and extras — Zipper, degassing valve, window, hang hole, tear notch
- Samples — Free similar bags; you pay the courier
Structure choice
Square Bottom vs Standard Stand-Up Pouch: Which Structure Fits Your Product
Base, stability and print area
A standard stand-up pouch opens into a rounded base and tends to bulge at the bottom when filled. A square bottom pouch has a squared base and straight side gussets, so it sits upright and stacks neatly in a carton. Side gussets add two more printable panels, which helps when the pouch is displayed from an angle.
Choosing by product
Coffee, premium granola and pet food suit the square bottom, because heavier fills and shelf presence matter. Light powders and snacks sold in smaller sizes often work well in a standard stand-up pouch, which can cost less. If both fit your product, we recommend one in writing and price each option so you can compare.
