Custom Side Gusset Pouches

Custom side gusset pouches are flexible packaging bags with expandable gussets on both sides. When filled, the side panels open to provide more volume while keeping a clean rectangular front and back panel for branding. They are commonly used for coffee, tea, pet food, grains, rice, powder, nuts and dry food packaging.

Side gusset pouches are suitable for products that need larger filling capacity and stable shelf display, such as coffee beans, tea leaves, pet food, rice, flour, grains, nuts, snacks, powder and dry food. For products that require freshness protection, we can recommend high-barrier films to help protect against moisture, oxygen, light and aroma loss.

We can customize different laminated material structures, such as PET/PE, PET/VMPET/PE, PET/AL/PE, kraft paper laminated films, nylon barrier films and other high-barrier structures. The right material depends on your product’s shelf life, barrier requirement, filling weight, storage condition and whether you need a matte, glossy, metallic or kraft paper look. Honghai Packaging’s material options include printing layers such as PET, BOPP, MOPP and PA; barrier layers such as PET, VMPET, AL and kraft paper; and heat-sealing layers such as LDPE, LCPP and RCPP.

The MOQ depends on pouch size, material structure, printing method and special finishing requirements. For many custom pouch projects, digital printing is suitable for lower-volume orders, while gravure printing is usually recommended for larger production runs. According to the factory information, digital printing MOQ can start from 500 pieces, and gravure printing MOQ is usually 20,000 pieces; for actual side gusset pouch projects, we recommend confirming the final MOQ based on the exact specification.

The standard process usually includes design confirmation, plate/cylinder making if needed, production and delivery.

The final lead time depends on order quantity, material availability, printing method and finishing requirements.
