Flat bottom packaging, often called a “box pouch” or “block bottom pouch,” is an advanced flexible packaging format defined by its completely flat, rectangular base and two side gussets. This unique construction allows it to stand with exceptional stability on any retail shelf, perfectly mimicking the presentation of a rigid box or carton. Its key advantage lies in offering five distinct, printable panels (front, back, two sides, and the bottom), creating a 360-degree branding canvas that maximizes shelf impact, making it a premium choice for products like coffee, pet food, and gourmet snacks.
Superior Stability: Stands perfectly upright on shelves with a flat, box-like base.
360° Branding: Provides five distinct printable panels (front, back, two sides, bottom) for maximum shelf impact.

Premium Foods & Snacks Their superior shelf stability and “premium” appearance make them the perfect package for high-end pantry items. They are ideal for gourmet snacks, granola and cereals, confectionery, dried fruits, nuts, and baking mixes. The format also strongly appeals to organic and specialty food brands looking to communicate quality.
Coffee & Tea This pouch is an industry favorite for artisanal coffee beans and loose-leaf teas. The high-barrier materials and sealed-in gussets lock in freshness, protecting volatile oils and delicate aromas from oxygen, moisture, and light. We can also integrate one-way degassing valves, which are essential for packaging fresh-roasted coffee.
Pet Food & Treats The robust multi-layer construction and high-quality resealable zippers ensure that dry kibble, semi-moist foods, and pet treats stay fresh and protected from pests. For consumers, the wide-opening, stand-up design offers the convenience of easy scooping and pouring.
Health & Wellness This format is perfectly suited for safeguarding the quality and potency of nutritional supplements. It effectively protects sensitive products like protein powders, superfood blends, vitamins, and nutraceuticals from moisture and oxygen, ensuring they remain effective.
Household & Bulk Goods These pouches are an excellent, space-saving alternative to bulky boxes or tubs for products like laundry pods, powder detergents, bath salts, and dishwasher tablets. They also serve as an effective format for eco-friendly refill packs.
Lawn & Garden The durable, moisture-resistant design is ideal for high-value garden products. It protects items like grass seed, birdseed, and specialized fertilizers from clumping, contamination, and moisture, ensuring a longer shelf life in a garage or shed.

Have questions about our custom flat bottom pouches? We’ve gathered the answers to common queries about this “box pouch” format, from its 5-panel design and material options to its ideal uses and features.
What is a flat bottom pouch, and how is it different from a stand-up pouch?
A flat bottom pouch (also called a “box pouch” or “block bottom bag”) is a pouch with a completely flat, rectangular base and gussets on both sides. Unlike a standard stand-up pouch that rests on a rounded “D” shaped gusset, the flat bottom provides far superior stability, allowing it to stand perfectly upright like a rigid box.
What does the "5-panel" design mean?
This format offers five distinct panels for branding and information: the front, back, two side gussets, and the bottom. This gives you a 360-degree canvas for your graphics, which is significantly more marketing space than a traditional pouch.
Are these pouches suitable for coffee?
Can you add a degassing valve? A: Yes, this is one of the most popular and premium formats for packaging coffee. We can easily install a one-way degassing valve (either on the front or a side gusset) to allow CO2 from fresh-roasted beans to escape without letting oxygen in.
Can I add a zipper or tin-tie?
Absolutely. Flat bottom pouches are ideal for multi-use products. We can add a press-to-close zipper for easy resealing. For coffee or tea, we can also apply a tin-tie to the top, allowing consumers to roll the bag down and secure it.
What material options are available? Can I get a Kraft paper look?
We offer a full range of materials. You can choose a high-barrier foil (Mylar) for maximum freshness, a clear (transparent) structure to show your product, or a natural Kraft paper exterior for an artisanal, eco-friendly aesthetic. All options are laminated to a food-grade interior to protect your product.
What products are flat bottom pouches best for?
Their premium look and exceptional stability make them perfect for high-end products. They are widely used for coffee, loose-leaf tea, pet food, premium snacks, granola, cereals, baking mixes, and protein powders.
