Flat Pouches: Flexible Solution to Your Packaging Woes

The packaging of your product alone can influence the purchasing decisions of your customers more than you might think. It is a tool that you can use to communicate with your target market, showcase your brand values, and provide important information about your product. If you are looking for packaging that will allow you to do all of these things and more, look no further than flat pouches.

Flat pouches offer flexibility like no other. They make great packaging for a wide range of products from food items like granola and cereal to organic products and supplements. On top of that, flat pouches are made from durable and water-resistant materials, which provide your products excellent protection from moisture and oxygen. This type of packaging lets you rest assured that the contents are kept fresh and secured while in transit, in storage, and on display.

Flat pouches are available in several standard sizes, making them suitable for a variety of products. The smallest size available is 3.25" x 4.5" while 7” x 12" is the biggest. If you are going to use flat pouches, it’s best to identify first the right size that will fit your product packaging needs.

Print Process, Coating, and Other Features

Personalizing your flat pouches is one of the most effective ways to grab the attention of your customers. That’s why it’s a must to incorporate your branding into your product packaging. Here at PrintPlace, you can start customizing your flat pouches by choosing full color, full color with clear window, or full color metalized. Packaging with a clear window allows consumers to have a glimpse of your product while metalized flat pouches are relatively more distinctive.

The coating of your flat pouches is another method to tailor your packaging according to your brand. Gloss lamination offers a smooth, shiny, and vibrant exterior to your packaging. Matte coating, on the other hand, provides a more subtle and diffused glow that has its own appeal.?

Lastly, flat pouches also have other features that make the packaging more convenient for you and your customers. Check them out and decide which ones are suited for your product and branding:

Tear Notch

This feature basically makes it easy for your consumers to neatly open the products without the need for scissors or damaging the packaging. It can be included into your flat pouches without an extra fee.

Hang Hole

It allows you to hang your products at the retail point of sale. It comes in two types: round hole and euro or sombrero-style hang hole.

Zipper

This feature allows the consumer to reseal the pouch, keeping the products fresh and secured. Ideal for sweets, snacks, coffee, tea and more.
