Custom Stand-Up Pouches
Self-standing flexible pouches with your brand
Starting around$0.360/eaConfigure for your priceA stand-up pouch stands on a shelf on its own. That is the whole point of the format, and it is achieved with a folded bottom gusset that opens into a flat base when the pouch is filled. The result is a package that behaves like a box for display purposes but weighs and ships like a bag — which is why it has become the default format for snacks, coffee, tea, granola, and specialty dry goods.

About Stand-Up Pouches
A stand-up pouch is a flexible package with a gusseted base that unfolds as the pouch fills, giving it a flat bottom to stand on. Before filling it ships flat, which means you store and freight air rather than structure — the reason flexible packaging has displaced rigid containers across so much of retail.
The format suits brands that want shelf presence without the tooling cost of a rigid container. There is no mould to cut, so a stand-up pouch can carry your artwork across a range of sizes without a separate investment per size.
YaSeen manufactures your pouches after you approve the design and pricing. Your artwork, size, and feature set are recorded against your order, which makes repeat runs straightforward.
Sizes & Capacity
Pouch size is driven by fill weight and product density. A pouch holding 12 oz of ground coffee is a different size from one holding 12 oz of puffed snack, because the two products occupy very different volumes. Tell us what you are packing and we will confirm the dimensions against it.
| Size Band | Typical Fill | Common Products |
|---|---|---|
| Small | Single serve, samples, portions | Spice samples, single-serve snacks, trial packs |
| Medium | Standard retail pack | Coffee, tea, granola, nuts, candy |
| Large | Family or bulk retail pack | Bulk snacks, large-format coffee, pet treats |
| Custom | Tell us your fill weight and density | Confirmed with your quote |
Features — What the Pouch Can Do
Each feature adds cost, so the right set is the one your product and your customer actually need. These can be combined.
- Resealable zipper — for products a customer opens repeatedly. Standard on coffee, snacks, and anything sold by weight.
- Tear notch — a scored opening line so the pouch opens cleanly without scissors.
- Hang hole — for pegboard or clip-strip display in retail.
- Degassing valve — vents carbon dioxide from freshly roasted coffee while blocking oxygen.
- Clear window — shows the product itself, which suits visually distinctive goods.
- Plain pouch — no additional features, for cost-sensitive runs.
Material & Barrier
The barrier level should match how sensitive your product is to air and moisture. A standard barrier suits shelf-stable dry goods sold reasonably quickly. A high barrier suits products that are oxygen- or moisture-sensitive, or that sit on a shelf for a long time.
We recommend a specific structure for your product rather than publishing a universal answer, because the correct film depends on what you are packing and how long it needs to last.
Printing & Finish
Stand-up pouches carry print on the front and back panels, with the gusset available for additional artwork. Full-panel coverage is the most common choice because the panel is continuous — there is no seam interrupting the design.
- Matte — soft, premium hand-feel.
- Gloss — higher contrast and more vivid colour.
- Soft-touch — a velvet-like matte finish.
- Natural / uncoated — a rustic, tactile surface for craft positioning.
How Pricing Works
Pouch pricing depends on size, material and barrier structure, which features are fitted, the finish, how much print coverage your artwork uses, and the quantity you run. A zippered, high-barrier, soft-touch pouch costs meaningfully more per unit than a plain standard-barrier pouch.
Larger runs lower the cost per unit. Submit your configuration and a specialist returns pricing for your exact combination, including what the price covers — pouch, printing, features, freight, and artwork setup.
Artwork Requirements
For the cleanest print result, supply vector artwork. Vector files scale across your full size range without losing edge quality.
- Preferred: AI, EPS, SVG, or PDF — vector formats.
- Acceptable: PNG or JPG at high resolution.
- If you only have your logo, we can prepare the pouch layout for you.
- A colour reference — hex code, Pantone number, or a physical sample — helps us match accurately.
Minimum Order Quantity
Pouch minimums depend on the size, the barrier structure, and which features are fitted. Tell us your target quantity in the configurator and we will confirm the actual minimum for your build.
Production & Delivery
These pouches are custom manufactured after you approve the design and pricing — they are not pulled from stock. The sequence is: configure your specifications, receive a free digital mockup, approve the design and pricing, manufacturing begins, then the completed order is delivered nationwide.
Reordering
Because your specifications and approved artwork are recorded against your order, reordering is a matter of confirming your previous configuration and quantity. Tell a specialist you are reordering and reference your previous project.

Production Time and Shipping Time Are Different
Production time is the time required to manufacture your packaging. Transit time is the time required to transport it to you. These are separate — a production window is not a delivery date, and every project's timeline is confirmed with your final quote.
Express
Best when speed matters most. Faster transportation may be available depending on the product, quantity, manufacturing location, shipment size, destination and carrier availability. Express transportation can cost significantly more than standard, and an exact transit time is confirmed with your freight quote.
Standard
Best when you want a balance between delivery cost and transit time. Standard freight is generally the more economical option when your schedule allows additional flexibility. Actual transit time and freight cost are confirmed with your final quote.
Large-volume freight
Larger orders are not handled as ordinary parcel shipments. Depending on size and destination this may involve palletized freight, LTL, air, ocean, partial-container (LCL) or full-container (FCL) arrangements. YaSeen determines the appropriate method for your actual project and quotes it accordingly.
Not sure
If you are unsure, our team will recommend the option that best fits your deadline, quantity and destination once your project has been reviewed.
