A standard ziplock is located at the top on the inside of the pouch. A front zipper (or pocket zipper) is incorporated into the front (or back) of the packaging. Because of this, the top of the pouch is fully and widely open during filling, which significantly speeds up the (automated) filling process. We supply both options directly from stock.

Yes, we strongly recommend this. A zipper closes the bag neatly for the consumer, but it does not guarantee a 100% oxygen barrier before sale and is not tamper-evident. Above the ziplock, there is a specific area to heat-seal the pouch closed after filling. This ensures your product is optimally protected until the first use.

Absolutely! Our unprinted stock stand-up pouches are perfect for applying your own labels. Do you want a fully printed stand-up pouch with a zipper? This is possible as a custom project starting from 5,000 pieces.

Yes, the closure is always positioned a few centimetres below the top edge of the pouch. In addition, space must be left above it to seal the bag. Therefore, never fill a pouch to the absolute brim. We advise always allowing some extra margin for the filling volume when choosing the size.

A standard ziplock is ideal for dry and solid products, but it is not designed to store liquids leak-proof under pressure. For liquids and beverages, we recommend our stand-up pouches without a zipper (only sealed) or stand-up pouches with a screw cap (spout pouches).

Yes, most of our stand-up pouches and standard ziplocks perform excellently in the freezer. The closure remains flexible and functional at low temperatures. Want to be sure if the combination of your product and the freezer works well? Simply order a sample pouch to test it yourself.

That depends on the material of the pouch. Does the entire stand-up pouch consist of a single type of material (a mono-material, such as 100% PE or PP)? Then the zipper is made of exactly the same material, and the entire packaging can be disposed of with plastic waste for optimal recycling. If the bag consists of mixed layers, such as paper or aluminium, different guidelines apply.
