For 100% high barrier mono material PE laminated film, it is all transparent. So basically you can make the side gusset transparent, it will also have high barrier functions. Or you can leave the front design with a window, this will also no infection on the barrier function. While the customer can see through the packaging, this is good for marketing.

Handles and Pouch holes

You can put either handles or pouch holes on top of the pouch. So the flat bottom pouch can hook on the shelf, this is also good for pouch on shelf. So besides stand on the shelf, the pouch can also be hooked on the shelf.

Laser scoring

Laser scoring will make it easier for customer to tear open the pouch.

Normally it will be place on the top of the pouch, while below the heat sealing part.

Sliders and zippers

You can put sliders on the top, this will be often seen from pet food flat bottom pouch. Such as dog food, cat food, horse food, etc. It is usually for the packed products with bigger capacity so we can always close it with slider after we take out the part we need.

There are two kinds of zippers. The first one is the same press and open zippers as the basic standard pouch. It will close well, but the opening hole is not the big as the Rippa Zippa pouch which is open on the front. The Rippa Zippa pouch is with a very big opening hole for product filling, and it will also have the zipper function for product usage by customers.

Matte and gloss finishing

We can always see matte and gloss finishing for many designs. It will make the overall artwork looks more beautiful. Or you can have all matte finishing or all gloss finishing, it is always up to you to follow your design strategy.

Valve

Valve is particularly for coffee packaging. Coffee is the most important drinks for many countries. In order to keep the flavor, we will need valve on the coffee bag.

Normally there 3 types of valve:

WIPF

Goglio

And Chinese valve.

The valves can be all PE material or PP materials, so fit for the PE or PP mono material pouch material.

Tin Tie

Tin Tie will be used to fold the bag after we use it for the first time, until we finished consume all the fill products. It is often seen in the coffee bags.

7) Production and artwork

The flat bottom pouch production is the same as other bags, you design the artwork, prepare the material, blow the film, print it, laminated, and then bag converting. It can only come with preformed pouches.

For artwork, one thing very important is it will need 2 pieces of films while the other packagings only need one. The front, bottom and back share one piece of film, and the left gusset & right gusset share one piece of film. Which means you will  need to make artwork design for 2 pieces of films. Included 2 sets of printing plates.
