The stand-up pouch is the workhorse of modern snack packaging: it ships flat, stands firm on shelf and reseals after every snack break. We supply custom printed stand-up pouches for nuts, dried fruit, baked goods, confectionery and dry mixes.

Empty pouches ship flat to cut freight; the gusseted base opens into a stable shelf display the moment it is filled.
Nuts need oxygen barrier, dried fruit needs moisture control, cookies need aroma lock — we match the laminate to the food, not one film for all.
Show the product through a clear window or go full-graphics; both are available on the same structure.
Zippers keep roasted nuts crunchy and cookies soft after opening, reducing waste complaints.
Kraft paper laminates suit artisan positioning; metallized and glossy structures suit mainstream retail — same supplier, same print quality.
Choose the format that matches your fill weight and how the pack needs to behave on shelf:

Food pouches are produced to food-contact material requirements, with migration test reports available on request. Every order runs through incoming material inspection, in-line print and seal checks, and a final AQL sampling inspection before packing. Produced in FDA- and ISO-certified facilities. Certification is held by our manufacturing partners, and test reports for migration, seal strength and barrier performance can be issued with your shipment on request.
Two production routes to fit different run sizes and budgets:
| Print route | Minimum | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Digital printing | From 5,000 pcs per design | Multi-flavour ranges, short runs and market tests |
| Rotogravure printing | From 10,000 pcs per design | Lowest unit cost at volume, up to 10 colours |
All prices are quoted per design, so mix SKUs freely inside the same run. Trade terms are FOB Shantou, with CIF and DDP available on request.
Kraft suits natural and organic positioning and pairs well with a window; full plastic laminates give stronger barrier for oily snacks. We can quote both.
Yes. PE or CPP inner layers are selected for oil resistance; we test seal strength against your fill weight.
Compostable structures (kraft/PLA laminates) are available on request; note that barrier life is shorter than foil laminates. We will advise per product.
AI, PDF or PSD at 300 dpi with the dieline we provide; we return a 3D mockup for approval before printing.
