Stand Up Pouches

What they are

• Bottom-gusset design — stands upright on its own when filled, folds flat when empty.
• Resealable zipper closure — customers open, dispense, and reseal again and again, no clips or twist ties.
• Heat-sealable above the tear notches — a clean top seal after filling, then tear open along the notch.
• Hang hole feature — merchandise on a peg or rack as easily as it stands on a shelf.
• Strong shelf presence — a large upright front panel for branding or a private label.

Stand up pouch sizes & capacities

We stock pouches by fill weight and by dimension. Sizes are listed width x height x bottom gusset (in inches); the third number is the gusset depth, which sets how wide the pouch opens and how much it holds:

• 4 oz. Stand Up Zip Pouch — 5.125 x 5.125 x 3.125

Best for

The pouches are perfect for storing coffee, tea, spices, nuts, and many other food and non-food items:

• Coffee & tea — whole bean, ground coffee, and loose-leaf or bagged tea, 2 oz up to 5 lb.
• Spices & seasonings — single spices, blends, and rubs that need resealable freshness.
• Nuts, snacks & dry goods — trail mix, dried fruit, granola, and candy at retail.
• Pet treats, supplements & powders — products that benefit from a zipper reclose and a hang hole.
• Non-food items — hardware, bath products, craft kits, and small parts.

How to choose

• Match capacity to fill weight. Pick the oz/lb rating that fits your product, from a 2 oz sample to a 5 lb bulk pouch.
• Check the footprint. A deeper bottom gusset gives bulky or low-density products room to settle while the pouch stands square.
• Size up if needed. For bulky, low-density fills, step up a tier so the zipper still seals cleanly.
• Need an exact fit or your branding? Custom sizes and custom printing are available so the pouch carries your ingredient panel, barcode, and logo.

Frequently asked questions

What sizes do your stand up pouches come in?

Our stand up zip pouches are stocked by fill weight: 2 oz. (4 x 6.5 x 2.35), 4 oz. (5.125 x 5.125 x 3.125), 8 oz. (5.875 x 9 x 3.5), 12 oz. (6.75 x 10.5 x 3.5), 16 oz. (7 x 11.5 x 4), 2 lb. (9 x 13.5 x 4.75) and 5 lb. (11.875 x 19 x 5.5). The third measurement in each size is the bottom gusset depth.

How does the stand up pouch close?

Each pouch features a reclosable zipper closure so customers can open, dispense and reseal again and again. The pouch is also heat sealable above the tear notches, which gives you a clean factory-style top seal after filling.

What makes a stand up pouch stand up?

The bottom gusset design allows the pouch to stand up on its own when filled and fold flat when empty. This gives strong shelf presence while taking up less space in storage and on the shelf, and the optional hang hole feature lets the same pouch hang on a peg or rack.

What products are stand up pouches best for?

They are perfect for storing coffee, tea, spices and nuts, and they work well for many other food and non-food items such as granola, dried fruit, candy, pet treats and powders that benefit from a freestanding, resealable package with a large branding panel.

Is there a minimum order on stand up pouches?

There is no minimum on in-stock items, so you can order a small test run or buy in bulk. Larger quantities qualify for wholesale volume discounts, and orders ship from the US by Arplast, a poly-packaging manufacturer with more than 30 years in business.

Can I get custom sizes or custom printing on my pouches?

Yes. Beyond our stocked fill-weight sizes, Arplast offers custom pouch sizes and custom printing, so you can put your brand, ingredient panel and barcode across the front panel and have pouches arrive ready to sell.
