stand up Pouches
Polymaven’s stand-up pouches make your products stand out by combining quality, style, and shelf appeal. Also known as doyen pouches, they are lightweight and durable. Stand-up pouches are most commonly used for coffee, snacks, and pet food.
What Is the Standup Pouch
made from?
Custom printed stand up pouch bags can be made from endless combinations of materials to suit your product’s unique needs. Here are some common choices:
Aluminium foil stand up pouches deliver maximum protection from light, air, odor, and moisture. Ideal for products that need a long shelf life, such as coffee, snacks, and supplements.
BOPP transparent stand up pouches are glossy, making them great for showcasing bright graphics and product visibility. Often used in snack packaging because of its clarity and durability.
A natural, paper-based outer layer that creates an earthy, minimal, and sustainable look, giving your packaging that clean brand feel. Kraft stand up pouches are often lined with inner barrier films for freshness protection.
Used when extra toughness or puncture resistance is needed, such as for granola, nuts, pet treats, and sharp or heavy products.
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.
Mylar stand up pouches are made from a strong, smooth film that provides structure and a great print surface. When in use, it’s usually the outermost layer and makes your pouch look crisp, premium, and vibrant.
Designed for recyclability while still offering reliable protection. This is your choice if you’d like lower-impact flexible packaging that also performs well.
A lightweight polyester film coated in a thin layer of metal. You get a shiny, high-barrier look without the full weight or cost of foil.

Why Should We Choose the Standup Pouch?
The gusseted base of stand-up pouches allows them to stand tall on the shelf. With gussets, your product takes a stand when it matters: as your customers choose which brand to pick.
Stand-up pouches use less material and ship flat, which means they take up less room in storage and cost less to transport. More efficiency for you, less waste overall. A win all around.
Multi-layer film structures protect your product from moisture and oxygen, keeping it fresher for longer. Our stand up barrier pouches are engineered to stand up to handling, shipping, and everyday use.
Customize Your Stand Up Pouch
Customize your stand up pouches to give your product your look.
Pick the film structure your product needs. We don’t do one-size-fits-all. Instead, we engineer the layer combo that keeps your product safe, proving your brand means business.
Want your packaging to hang on wall hooks as well as stand on shelves? Hang holes give your pouch full display potential. Think of it as giving your pouch a second stage to stand on.
Resealable stand up pouches make opening easy and reclosing effortless. Choose from the stand up zipper pouch, tin ties, and adhesive options to keep your product fresh and your customers happy.
No scissors = no stress. Tear notches make opening your pouch fun and simple. A small detail that makes a big difference in first impressions.
Let shoppers see the good stuff by spotlighting what’s inside. Stand up pouches with windows show off your product and build trust instantly.
Shine bright with gloss, go modern with matte, or give them the “ooh, that feels nice” moment with soft-touch. Your finish is the handshake of your packaging. Make it memorable.
Gift your customers with convenience by adding a corner spout to your stand up pouch. Selling liquids, gels, or powders? A corner spout stand up pouch is a tempting easy pour option for refills and less mess.
Help your pouch stand up for itself on the shelf. Bottom and side gusset stand up pouches have expandable packaging volume so they can hold more product. A strong pouch stance tells a strong brand story.
Upgrade your product by storing it in a Valstand up pouch with a valve. One-way valves preserve the aroma and extend the shelf life of coffee and other freshly roasted products by allowing gases to escape without letting air in.

FAQS on
stand up 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 materials are used in stand-up pouches?
Stand up pouch manufacturers use layered materials including PET (polyethylene terephthalate), aluminum foil, and LLDPE (linear low-density polyethylene) during production. PET provides strength and printability, aluminum offers barrier protection, and LLDPE ensures heat-sealability and flexibility.
Are stand up pouches safe for food?
Stand up food pouches are safe for food when made with FDA-approved, food-grade materials such as BPA-free plastics and aluminum foil. These materials prevent contamination, block moisture and oxygen, and preserve freshness during storage and transport.
What closure options are available?
Polymaven offers wholesale stand up pouch packaging with closure options including zippers, spouts, tear notches, and resealable seals. Zippers provide reusability, spouts enable controlled pouring, tear notches allow easy opening, and resealable seals maintain product freshness after opening.
Can stand-up pouches handle liquids or hot filling?
Stand-up pouches can handle liquids and hot filling when made with high-barrier, heat-resistant materials like multilayer laminates or retort films. These materials withstand high temperatures, prevent leaks, and maintain food safety during pasteurization or sterilization.
How do you measure a stand-up pouch?
Measure a stand-up pouch by recording the width (side to side), height (top to bottom), and gusset depth (bottom fold when expanded). Use a ruler or caliper and measure in millimeters, centimeters, or inches for packaging precision and volume estimation.
What are the advantages of stand up pouches vs. traditional packaging?
The main difference between stand up pouches and traditional packaging is that standup pouches use less material, reduce shipping weight, and offer resealability. Stand up pouches also enhance shelf presence, improve product freshness, and support eco-friendly formats like recyclable or compostable films.
