Three Side Seal Pouches

The film is folded at the bottom and sealed up both sides and across the top — three sealed edges and one fold. Some suppliers call the same thing a flat pouch or a sachet.

Yes, made from two separate webs with a seal on all four edges. It gives a neater bottom edge and a slightly different look; we quote either.

Below about 50 g a stand up pouch does not stand anyway. A flat pouch is honest about that, costs less, prints on one uninterrupted face and posts at letter rates.

Down to a few grams. At that size the seal land takes up a large share of the material, so the price stops falling with the fill weight.

Yes, welded under the top seal. It is worth it only where the contents are used more than once — on a single portion it is film spent on nothing.

A tear notch, positioned so the tear runs straight across rather than diagonally down. On foil laminates a laser score gives an even cleaner line.

Yes, with the right sealant, and up to retort with a retort-grade laminate. Wet fills need a wider seal land than dry ones, which we allow for in the dieline.

2 kg for retail, and considerably larger for bulk and industrial fills where standing on a shelf is irrelevant.

That is what most of this range is bought for: the same coffee, protein or spice blend as the main pack, printed from the same artwork family so it reads as one brand.

Both. They need seal land around them, so tell us before the dieline is drawn rather than after the artwork is approved.
