The Doyen style, often called Doypack, is the most common stand-up pouch design. U-shaped gusset provides stability for lightweight products, allowing them to stand securely using the bottom seal as ‘feet’.

Features
Stand-up pouch packaging formats
K-Seal Pouch
K-Seal stand-up pouches feature ‘K’-shaped bottom welding seams, optimising filling volume. Ideal for heavier products, these pouches reduce seal pressure with 30-degree angle side seals for increased volume.
V-Seal Pouch
The ‘Plow bottom’ or single-piece film stand-up pouch lacks a gusset seal, favoured for granular products like sugar or salt. It has no bottom seal, only corner seals, making it an excellent choice for heavier products.
