Do not look at weight alone. Product volume and shape are equally important. Tea, coffee, nuts and powders all have a different filling volume at the same weight. The best approach is to request a sample and test the pouch using your own product.

Metallised stand-up pouches are particularly suitable for products that need protection against light, oxygen and moisture. Examples include coffee, tea, spices, nuts, snacks, powders, food supplements and pet food.

The metallised barrier layer reduces the effect of light, oxygen and moisture on your product. This helps protect aroma, flavour, colour and texture. It is especially useful for sensitive food products.

Yes, metallised stand-up pouches are very suitable for coffee. For freshly roasted coffee, we recommend a pouch with a one-way degassing valve. This allows roasting gases to escape while helping to keep oxygen outside the pouch.

Many metallised stand-up pouches have a zipper. This allows the end customer to reseal the pouch after opening, which is useful for products that are consumed in several portions.

Unprinted metallised stand-up pouches from stock can be ordered from PouchDirect from just 100 pieces per type. Custom printed pouches are available from 5,000 pieces.

Yes. Metallised stand-up pouches can be fully customised with your logo, brand colours or a complete design. Together, we determine which printing technique, material structure and quantity best suit your project.

Traditional metallised stand-up pouches are often made from several different material layers. This provides a strong barrier but can make recycling more difficult. If recyclability is important for your packaging concept, we can advise you on mono-material or aluminium-free alternatives.
