Custom Pouches
Print professional packaging that will keep your brand top of mind. Custom flat pouches show that your brand means business. Personalized packaging are eye-catching, increase name recall, and set you apart from the competition.
Aside from aiding you in branding, custom pouches protect your products. Our barrier film seals in the freshness and prevents the contents from contamination. Whether the items inside are wet or dry, the barrier film protects the products and ensures optimum freshness.
Choose the Perfect Pouch Material
Packola offers 3 different barrier film materials, each of which have their own benefits. If you want to display the products inside, clear barrier film is the way to go. For dry goods sensitive to light, we recommend the metalized barrier film. Check out the table below for a more in-depth comparison between the 3 variants.

Frequently Asked Questions
Stand up pouches have a gusset at the bottom that allows them to be displayed upright on retail shelves. They are great for bulkier products or those that contain multiple servings. Flat pouches do not have a bottom gusset and are typically displayed on a tray or on a peg hook. They are best for small or relatively slim products.
Yes, if you select ‘Full color with clear window’ we will print your pouch on clear barrier film and use a white ink underlay to create any window shape you incorporate into your pouch design.
Our custom pouches are made of superior barrier films to keep moisture and oxygen away from your product. The metallized pouches also provide light and odor protection.
The zippers will be closed and you will need to open them to load the product before sealing.
The pouches can be sealed using an impulse heat sealer. The heat seal ensures your customers of the product's freshness. Apply the heat seal above the tear notch. Once opened, the pouch can be re-sealed using the optional zipper.
