Kraft paper on the outside gives the uncoated, matte shelf look; a PE ply on the inside does the sealing and the moisture work. The paper is the face here, not the barrier. Because the barrier is tuned rather than maximised, there is usually room for recycled content or a recyclable mono-material build without losing the shelf life.
A pack of dried fruit, granola, loose tea, natural-positioned goods is opened and shut many times before it is finished, so the zipper is specified for repeated cycles rather than for the first one. The kraft face reads as unbleached and uncoated even though a barrier ply is doing its work behind it.
About this pack
What It Is for, and What It Has to Survive
Where This Pack Is Used
This is a snack pack, which means it is squeezed in a basket, carried in a bag and opened somewhere other than a kitchen. Nuts and fried snacks also oxidise in daylight, and crisp textures are lost to a little humidity long before the date runs out.
How It Is Built
The base is a folded gusset that opens under the weight of the fill, so the pack stands and faces forward on a shelf. Gusset depth is set from the fill weight and the bulk density together, because the same weight of an aerated product and a dense powder need different bases.
A kraft paper face laminated to a functional inner layer. The paper carries no barrier of its own — everything protective is the liner behind it — so the pack reads as unprocessed in the hand while performing like film on the shelf.
Specified with post-consumer recycled film in the outer layers and a virgin sealant against the contents, because food-contact rules do not allow recycled material to touch the fill. The percentage is stated in the specification rather than left as a claim.
Made on One Site
Every pouch on this site is produced in our own plant in Shenzhen, China. Film is extruded or sourced to the structure your product needs, printed by gravure from your artwork, laminated, cured, then converted on bag-making lines set up for your format and fill weight. Because those steps sit under one roof, a colour that drifts or a seal that fails a drop test is corrected on the line the same day.
Customising This Pouch
- Size and fill. Standard fills from 100 g to 2 kg, or built to your drawing. Tell us the product and the fill weight and we will come back with a gusset depth and film gauge.
- Barrier. Foil, metallised, transparent high-barrier or compostable, chosen against your shelf life and the market it ships to — not against a house default.
- Closure. Zipper, child-resistant zipper, tear notch, degassing valve, tin tie, hang hole or spout. Specified at the die stage.
- Print. Gravure from vector artwork, CMYK or Pantone, up to ten colours, matt or gloss. Spot UV and soft-touch finishes available.
- Windows. Die-cut to your artwork rather than dropped into a stock position.
Ordering
Send us the product, the fill weight, the format and the quantity per SKU. We reply with a real quote rather than a range. Artwork goes as vector — AI, EPS, PDF or SVG with fonts outlined — and if you have no designer, our graphics team builds the dieline and lays it out for you. You approve a digital proof before any cylinder is engraved, and for colour-critical work we run a press proof on the real substrate first. See the full ordering process.
Certification and Audits
Compostable lines are certified rather than claimed: OK compost HOME and INDUSTRIAL, BPI, DIN CERTCO and AS 5810 against EN 13432, with FDA and LFGB for food contact. The plant is audited to BRCGS, Sedex, BSCI, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. More about our plant.
