Flat Bottom Bags

What is a Flat Bottom Bag?

Flat Bottom Bags are considered a popular and flexible choice of packaging solutions thanks to their convenient resealable press close zip lock with bottom and side expanding gusset features allowing the bag to present itself stood up in more of a box shape manner without the front and back rounding like with a Stand Up Pouch. 

The side profile of a Flat Bottom Bag once expanded is the shape of an isosceles triangle. Flat Bottom Bags are also known as Block Bottom Bags, Box Bottom Bags or Side Gusset Bags with Flat Bottom.

The resealable press seal zip lock allows you to open and close the bag multiple times keeping the contents as fresh as possible where the bottom gusset designs allows for the bag to be stood up for appealing presentation of your products using minimal space. 

We don’t have to tell you how popular stand up Packaging is, just a quick browse of a local store, supermarket or garden centre is evident enough.

Are Flat Bottom Bags right for you?

Resealable Flat Bottom Bags are often chosen as a reliable way to store a multitude of contents such as Confectionery, Spices, Protein powders, Health supplements, Snacks, Coffee, Tea, Pet Food, Beauty, Salts, Herbs, Dried fruit, Pasta and Grass seed to name a few.

The bags are constructed with food grade materials and provide an excellent barrier to protect your contents from moisture, oxygen, UV light and odours.  The bags have a header above the resealable press seal zip lock which can be heat sealed to provide a tamper evident environment.  For initial opening, just tear open the bag using the conveniently located tear notches either side and reseal the bag by pressing the press seal fastener.

In addition to their versatility, Flat Bottom Bag packaging is often favoured for their reduced environmental impacts due to its lightweight composition compared to jars, bottles and tins for example.  This allows them to be easily transportable whilst lowering carbon footprints resulting in lower shipment costs and they store flat which benefits customers with limited storage facilities or otherwise allows for greater production levels.
