Custom-Printed Flat Bottom Bags
Classy practicality in a stunning shelf presentation.
Our flat bottom bags give your product maximum shelf stability, and superb protection, all wrapped in an elegant and distinctive packaging solution. The gusseted sides and quad seals of the box pouch offer a stronger structure and more filling volume than other flat bottom bags, making them a great choice for coffee, candy, pet food and treats, and other dry ingredient food products. We can custom-print over all five panels, providing enhanced artwork and design possibilities. Flat bottom pouches, also called block bottom bags or square bottom bags, are a good “green” choice, too, requiring less energy to produce and less material than in traditional stand up pouches.

Pocket Zipper
Our flat bottom zipper becomes a pocket zipper once your product is filled and the bag is heat sealed shut. This allows the consumer to peel away the dog-bone shaped seal to access the product, then reseal the bag to lock in freshness.
Flat bottom bags make the rockin’ world go ‘round.

Questions we get about our Flat Bottom Bag
What is a flat bottom bag?
Flat Bottom pouches (a.k.a. box bottom or square bottom bags) are 4-sided with a flat, rectangular base - that's a lot of surface area for your custom design and brand to shine! They are the most stable, self-standing bag type. A popular choice for coffee packaging, flat bottom bags offer several closure styles to reseal after use and keep product fresh. When filling, this bag style has a wide open top and will need to be heat-sealed shut.
What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?
The minimum order quantity is 1000 bags. We require a minimum of 1000 bags per artwork file. The minimum per artwork file is a bit higher on this bag style because the machine requires added set up and changeover time - it's also double the length of any other pouching equipment, requiring more TLC to produce these beautiful bags.
Consider personalizing a pattern from our Roastar Design Lab™ with a low minimum order quantity of 100.
Can I do a custom size?
The flat bottom machine's changeover time is elaborate, so we stick to our three standard size offerings that accommodate 8 oz - 16 oz of coffee. If you have a large volume request for a custom size, please connect with our customer service team.
What size do I need for my product?
The capacity and bag sizes we provide are approximations only. The capacity (ex. 1 oz, 2 oz) is based on tests using whole coffee beans. A bag's capacity will vary depending on the product - and for coffee, the type of bean and style of roasting impacts fill volume. For example, salt vs. tea; salt weighs more than most teas. We highly suggest ordering our sample pack to trial fill your product to determine the right size for your needs.
The bag sizes listed (ex. 5 x 9.25 x 2.875) are the bag's outer dimensions (edge-to-edge). For a more accurate estimation of whether your product will fit inside the bag, rely more on the "fillable dimensions" - This takes into account the heat seal areas, zipper, etc.
How do I seal the bags?
The flat bottom pouch can be filled from the top and then heat sealed shut above the pocket zipper or tin tie (if applicable).
Can I get a clear window in this bag style?
Yes, our clear recyclable material option allows for a window to showcase your product. Windows can be set up on clear materials during the artwork design process.
