Product Introduction
Practical packaging for higher fill volume and compact shelf display.
Side-gusset pouches expand from both sides after filling, giving your product more capacity while maintaining a clean rectangular shape. They are widely used for coffee, tea, powders, grains, snacks, and other dry goods.
Efficient Filling Capacity
Folded gussets expand after filling, making this format suitable for medium-to-large product volumes.
Compact Carton Packing
The filled pouch forms a brick-like profile that works well for case packing, palletizing, and wholesale distribution.
Strong Barrier Options
Choose from foil, metallized, kraft laminate, nylon, or recyclable material structures based on shelf-life target.
Why Choose This Pouch Type
