What is the smallest size available for Flat Pouches?
Our online calculator offers a wide range of options for flat pouches, but not all combinations can be covered online. The minimum size varies depending on whether a zipper is to be integrated into the pouch or not. Contact our customer service for a quote outside of our online options.
Minimum size stand-up pouch:
- Flat pouch without zipper: 57 mm x 70 mm (width x height)
- Flat pouch with zip: 70 mm x 100 mm (width x height)
What pouch materials are offered and what barrier do they provide?
We offer a variety of materials for our pouches, including mono-materials, paper/plastic composites, and plastic-free barrier papers. Each material offers specific protective properties that meet the requirements of different products. Additionally, our materials are available in various options, including white, transparent, metallic, and paper look. Moreover, we offer different surfaces, such as matte or glossy film.
All our materials contain a functional barrier, which consists of either EVOH, AlOx, or aluminum. This barrier protects the content from loss of aroma, the penetration of oxygen, moisture, and possibly UV radiation. Furthermore, our materials are certified recyclable depending on the composite.
An overview of our materials can be found in the following table:

How can I create a custom window for my pouch?
To create an individual window for your pouch, use a transparent film and choose the color "4/0-colored + white". The additional white ensures that printed surfaces appear colorful and opaque by being printed as opaque white under the printed design. This means that unprinted areas remain transparent and serve as a window. For a highly transparent window, we recommend a glossy surface material. A matt surface material makes the window appear milky. For more information on how to properly design with opaque white, see our print data guide for flexible packaging. Our media designers will be happy to answer any questions you may have at any time.
Step by step instructions:
- Step 1: Download the appropriate print template for your pouch from our online shop. Then create the desired design in a suitable graphics program. We recommend for example Adobe Illustrator.
- Step 2: Create a new solid color called “HPI-White”. Then add all the elements that should be printed in white. You must then set all overlying elements of your design to “Overprint area”.
- Step 3: Save the finished print file as a PDF document and upload the document to the shopping cart under "Print data".
What is the actual fill level for my bag?

Depending on which additional components (zippers, tear tabs, and hangers) you choose, the actual fill height of your bag will differ from the height in the calculator. Please consider the following dimensions when configuring your bag packaging:
| 40 mm |
| 21 mm |
| 16 mm |
What foods can I put in the pouches?
All our pouches materials meet the high requirements for the following barriers:
Therefore, you can fill the following foods into your desired pouch:
- Oxygen barrier
- Water vapor barrier
- Aroma barrier
Therefore, you can fill the following foods into your desired pouch:
- Pastes

Topics & Industries
sealed edge bags FROM THE MANUFACTURER
Your partner for customised Sealed edge bags
Sealed edge bags: versatile packaging solutions
Sealed-edge bags are extremely versatile packaging solutions that are widely used in various industries thanks to their high puncture resistance and good oxygen and moisture barrier properties. Their applications range from the food industry to pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. These bags are characterised by their double-sided sealed edge, which ensures a secure and permanent seal of the selected material without the need for an additional closure mechanism.
Sealed edge bags: structure and properties
The structure of a seal-edge bag usually consists of several layers of high-quality materials such as PE, PET, aluminium or natural paper, which provide an optimal barrier against moisture, oxygen and other external influences. These multi-layer material composites not only ensure a high level of product protection, but also a long shelf life of up to 24 months for the packaged products. This is supported by various barrier layers made of aluminium, EVOH or AlOx, for example.
In addition, the seal edge bag is designed to offer various additional options, including a tear tab, a press seal / press seal, a Euro hole for easy retail presentation and multi-colour printing for attractive product presentation. The alternative option of labelling on the seal edge bags allows for easy identification and brand boosting for manufacturers and retailers. Printed labels can also be found in our shop.
Possible applications for seal edge bags
Sealed-edge bags have a wide range of applications. They are ideal for packaging foodstuffs such as coffee, snacks, dried fruit and frozen products, as they enable safe and hygienic storage. They are also used in the pharmaceutical industry for packaging tablets, capsules and powders, as they provide a reliable barrier against moisture and light. In the cosmetics industry, they are used for packaging creams, lotions and other liquid or semi-liquid products. They are also often used for single-use portions, which further expands their range of applications.
Sealed edge bags in cannabis and CBD packaging
The growing legalisation and acceptance of cannabis and CBD products have led to an increasing demand for high-quality packaging solutions. Seal edge bags perfectly meet these requirements by not only ensuring safe storage, but also preserving the freshness and quality of the products. Thanks to their versatility, seal edge bags can be manufactured in various sizes and shapes to meet the different requirements of cannabis and CBD packaging. They are user-friendly and offer practical features such as resealable zippers and tear-off tabs. The aesthetic design of so-called Flat Pouches, with multi-colour printing and labelling options, helps to strengthen the brand image and present the products in an appealing way. This is crucial in a competitive market where packaging has a significant influence on consumers' purchasing decisions.
