| Criteria | Flat Bottom Pouch (Box Pouch) | Stand-Up Pouch (Doypack) | Quad-Seal Bag (Side-Gusset) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shelf impact & print | Five printable panels = “billboard” branding; clean, box-like shape that reads premium. | Large front/back panels; bottom gusset adds shape when filled—great everyday visibility. | Front/back + side gussets give generous space; strong presence for larger formats. |
| Stability & capacity | Self-standing flat base; compact shelf footprint for coffee, snacks, 1 lb–1 kg. | Stands once filled; ideal for small-to-mid sizes and lightweight SKUs. | Four corner seals + tall gussets = high rigidity & volume; excels with heavier/bulkier SKUs. |
| Valve / closures | Valve-ready for coffee; zippers, tear notches, hang holes supported. | Widely available with one-way degassing valves and zippers. | Common on coffee/pet food; valves, tin ties, scoop-friendly options. |
| Sustainability paths | Available in mono-PE (store drop-off recyclable) or compostable kraft builds. | Broad availability in mono-PE (store drop-off) and compostable kraft lines. | Now offered in mono-PE recyclable variants from major converters. |
| Cost profile | Highest unit cost (most complex make); chosen for premium branding. | Most cost-efficient/fastest lead times in many cases. | Typically between the two; efficient for larger fills. |
| Choose this if… | You want maximum branding + rock-solid shelf presence in retail. | You need value, speed and flexibility for small-to-mid sizes. | You need strength & volume for heavier loads (coffee 2–5 lb, pet food, bulk). |

Yes. We offer mono-material PE or PP structures that qualify for store drop-off recycling in the U.S., and home & industrial-compostable kraft options for suitable products. (Availability of store drop-off programs varies by location.)
If you pack freshly roasted beans, a valve is recommended: it lets CO₂ escape while blocking oxygen/moisture, helping preserve aroma and preventing bag bloating.
