POUCH RANGE

Seven Pouch Formats, One Trusted Supplier

Choose from our full range of pre-made pouch formats, each available in multiple sizes, barrier specifications, and print methods to suit your product and filling process.

Aropack_White-Stand-up-pouch

Stand-Up Pouch

The definitive flexible packaging format. A bottom gusset allows the pouch to stand upright for maximum shelf presence. Available in Doy-seal, K-seal and V-seal structures for a range of fill weights.

White Flat Bottom_2

Flat Bottom Pouch

A wide, stable base gives this format a premium, box-like presence on shelf. Ideal for coffee, tea, cereals, and any product where presentation is important. Supports reseal zipper and degassing valves.

Aropack Quad Seal Pouch

Quad Seal Pouch

Four vertical corner seals create a structured, block-bottom bag that stands firm under heavier fill weights. A favourite for pet food, lawn & garden, and large-format food products.

custom printed side gusset pouch packaging bag

Side Gusset Pouch

Expandable side panels accommodate varying fill volumes while keeping the bag neat and stable. Widely used for nuts, pet food, and coffee. Compatible with top and side-seal filling machinery.

3 Side Seal Flat Pouch

3-Side Seal (Flat) Pouch

A lay flat sachet sealed on three sides, the simplest and most cost-effective flexible format. Perfect for single-serve portions, sample packs, condiments, and sachets across food, pharma, and personal care.

Aropack Spout Pouch

Spout Pouch

Designed for liquids, sauces, baby food, sports drinks, and viscous products. The integrated spout provides controlled dispensing and a resealable cap, replacing rigid bottles at a fraction of the material weight.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the most common queries we get about our pouch packaging solutions, from lead times to customisation and everything in between.

We supply stand-up pouches (Doy-seal, K-seal, V-seal), flat bottom pouches, quad seal bags, side gusset bags, 3-side seal flat sachets, spout pouches, and retort pouches. All formats are available in custom sizes, barrier specifications, and multiple print methods. We can advise on the best format for your product, fill weight, and filling line.

With digital printing, there is no minimum and orders from around 1,000 units are typical. For gravure and flexographic printing, minimum orders are usually 10,000 units, as cylinder and plate costs are amortised across the run. We’ll always recommend the right print method based on your volume and design requirements.

Yes. We supply mono-material PE and PP pouches that are OPRL-compliant and compatible with UK plastic film recycling streams. These carry the “Recycle with Bags at Large Supermarkets” labelling scheme. We also offer compostable pouches certified to EN 13432 / TÜV Austria for applications where plastic-free is the goal. We’ll help you choose the right structure based on your product’s shelf life, barrier needs, and sustainability targets.

We offer matte, gloss, soft-touch (velvet), metallic, paper-feel, and de-metallised finishes. Spot varnish can be applied to highlight specific design elements. These are available across gravure and digital print methods and can be combined with clear windows, holographic effects, and special coatings on request.

Yes. All of our pouches are engineered to run on standard filling machinery, including rotary VFFS, pre-made pouch fillers, and spouted pouch fill-seal units. We can provide material data sheets and sealing temperature recommendations to help your team set up correctly. If you’re running a new format for the first time, we can supply test quantities for line trials before committing to a full production run.

Lead times depend on print method, quantity, and whether artwork is ready to go. Digital print orders are typically faster than gravure. Once we have your confirmed artwork and specification, we’ll provide a production schedule with an expected delivery window. We also offer a stock holding service, so we can produce larger quantities and release stock to you as needed.

Yes, and we encourage it. We can send unprinted sample pouches in the sizes and structures closest to your requirement so you can test fit, fill, seal, and experience before placing your first production order.
