Our flat bottom pouches give UK food and coffee brands the shelf presence of a rigid box with the lightweight efficiency of flexible packaging. Unlike a standard Stand Up Pouch that curves at the base, our Octagonal Seal Bag design creates a stable, rectangular shape that stands upright on retail shelves and maximizes front-panel branding space. Each Shaped Bag is engineered for products that demand premium display performance.

Q: What is the difference between a flat bottom pouch and a standard stand up pouch? A: A standard stand up pouch has a curved or rounded gusset bottom, while a flat bottom pouch (also called octagonal seal bag or block bottom pouch) has a rectangular, box-like base with eight sealed edges. This gives it better shelf stability and more printable panel area, making it preferred for coffee, pet food, and premium products.
Q: Are your flat bottom pouches recyclable? A: We offer mono-material structures that are designed for recyclability, in line with evolving UK and EU packaging regulations. Traditional multi-material laminates are also available. The recyclability of a specific structure depends on its material composition and local recycling infrastructure—please contact us to discuss options for your product.
Q: Can I order flat bottom pouches with a valve and zipper? A: Yes. We can combine one-way degassing valves, zippers (including slider zippers), tin ties, transparent windows, and other features in a single flat bottom pouch. For liquid products, we also offer spout pouches; our broader flexible packaging solutions and custom printed packaging capabilities cover most food packaging formats.
