Pillow Pouches
Polymaven’s pillow pouches make dependable packaging simple. Lightweight, efficient, and customizable, they’re ideal for snacks, frozen foods, and single-serve items that need secure sealing and a clean, professional look.
What Is the Pillow Pouch
made from?
Every product has its own story and deserves the materials that suit it best. Combine films and laminates to create the perfect look, feel, and protection for your product’s pillow pouches.
Aluminium foil offers the highest level of barrier protection. It keeps out oxygen, light, and moisture, making it the ideal choice for spices, nutritional powders, or instant soups that require long-term freshness.
BOPP is clear, glossy, and moisture-resistant. Plastic pillow pouch bags are widely used for food such as chips, cookies, and dry snacks that need lightweight protection and sharp shelf appeal.
Kraft is a natural, recyclable material that performs well for dry or low-moisture goods. Kraft cardboard pillow pouches hit the spot for artisanal snacks, teas, or baking mixes when an earthy, eco-friendly look complements your brand.
PE is soft, food-safe, and easy to seal. As the soft inner layer, it helps protect snacks, grains, and household items by keeping out moisture and maintaining their freshness.
The soft inner layer, typically protected by outer films, that allows the pouch to be heat-sealed securely. This is what ensures the pouch closes tight and stays closed, ensuring your product’s utmost freshness.
Durable and glossy, Mylar adds stiffness and strength to pillow pouches while holding vibrant print detail. It’s often chosen for coffee, powdered drink mixes, and dehydrated foods that need protection from moisture, light, or heat.
CPP is flexible and smooth with excellent heat-sealing properties. It’s the common choice for packaging frozen vegetables, candies, or dry pasta.
A metallic-looking film that boosts barrier strength and adds shine. Used for coffee sachets, chips, and powdered foods, it reflects light and blocks oxygen to extend shelf life.

FAQS on
Pillow Pouches
Got questions? Here are the answers we share most often. And if you want to chat through anything, just reach out - our Mavens are always happy to help.
What exactly is a pillow pouch?
A pillow pouch is a flat, flexible packaging bag that forms a pillow-like shape when filled. It is commonly used for snacks, powders, and liquids. The pillow pouch packaging design is cost-effective, easy to fill, and provides moderate protection for food and non-food products.
What materials can I use for pillow pouches?
Pillow pouches can be made from various materials, including polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyester (PET), and aluminum foil laminates. These materials offer durability, moisture resistance, and product protection. The material choice depends on the product’s shelf life, barrier needs, and filling method.
Can a pillow pouch stand up on a shelf?
No, a pillow pouch cannot stand up on a shelf by itself because it has a flat, flexible base and lacks structural support. Unlike stand-up pouches, pillow pouches are designed to lie flat, making them better suited for stacking or hanging in display racks.
Are pillow pouches suitable for frozen or delicate foods?
Yes, pillow pouches are suitable for frozen and delicate foods when made with high-barrier films like PET or laminated foil. These materials protect against moisture, oxygen, and physical damage. Proper sealing and material selection ensure product integrity during freezing, transport, and storage.
Can I add resealable features (like zippers) to a pillow pouch?
Pillow pouch manufacturers typically do not include resealable features, such as zippers, on pillow pouches, due to their flat structure and one-time use design. However, at Polymaven, we thrive on customization and are happy to create pillow pouches with zippers and other resealable features upon request.
What are the advantages of pillow pouches vs. traditional packaging?
The primary advantage of pillow pouches over traditional packaging is that they use less material, reduce shipping weight, and lower production costs. They also offer flexible printing options and efficient shelf storage. Traditional packaging, such as rigid containers, provides more structure but at a higher cost and added bulk.
