Flexible pouch packaging solutions
Printed Pouches
Custom printed pouches in multiple sizes and formats for food, coffee, pet, nutraceutical, cosmetics and industrial products.
Overview
We produce flexible pouches tailored to your product and brand. Printed pouches suit snacks, powders, liquids, gels, pet treats, cosmetics, supplements and industrial components. Choose the format, material and features you need and we’ll convert and print to your specification.
Formats
- Stand‑up (doypacks): bottom gusset for shelf stability.
- Flat pouches: single‑use or sample packets.
- Side‑gusset: more capacity for coffee or bulk powders.
- Spouted: for liquids, sauces, gels and drink concentrates.
- Quad‑seal: premium pouch with four side seals for enhanced rigidity.
Materials & Thickness
- PET/PE: clear or metallised laminate for general food and cosmetic use.
- PET/AL/PE: aluminium barrier layer for oxygen and light‑sensitive products.
- Mono‑PE (recyclable): fully recyclable PE laminate for sustainability programmes.
- Thickness: typical ranges 70‑150 µm depending on size and product weight.
- Options: clear windows, tinted or fully opaque; matte, gloss or soft‑touch surfaces.
Print Methods
- Digital: ideal for short runs (~500‑1,000 units), multiple designs and versioning; no plates required.
- Flexographic: cost‑effective for mid‑size runs (5,000‑10,000+); high colour fidelity with water or solvent‑based inks.
- Rotogravure: best for high volumes (10,000+); exceptional image detail.
- Finishes: choose matte, gloss, or soft‑touch varnishes; add spot varnish, cold foil or embossing for premium effects.
Features
- Zippers (standard or child‑resistant), tear notches, hang holes and euro‑slots.
- Degassing valves for coffee and fermented products.
- Spouts in various diameters with screw caps or flip tops.
- Rounded corners and reinforced seals to prevent puncture.
