Sizes

No printed size list for this one.

The catalog prints size tables against pouch constructions, and side-gusseted bag is not one of them - film is specified by web width and repeat length, which come from your filling line rather than from a table. Send us the machine and we will spec the reel.

Make it yours

Finishes and features on a side-gusseted bag.

The catalog prints its 8 finishes on page 16 as a set of effects rather than per construction, so every one of them is yours to ask for here and we confirm the combination against your material stack. Features are a different matter, and this construction has its own answer.

6 of the 15 features are ordinary on a side-gusseted bag

The other 9 are dimmed below. The plant publishes no compatibility matrix, so that is packaging judgement rather than a manufacturing limit: ask for any of them and we confirm it before you commit.

3 of our 12 categories start here.

Each of these recommends a side-gusseted bag as a starting construction, and each page shows it packed with that category's own products at the fill sizes the plant publishes.

Your design, not ours

One side-gusseted bag. Any brand's language.

Every pouch below is the same construction and the same size as the one at the top of this page. Only the artwork changes. Palette, type, illustration and finish are yours to direct. Every brand shown is invented, and nothing pictured is a supplier specification or a photograph of a printed order.
