Frequently Asked Questions

What size pouch do I need for 250g of coffee?

For 250g (8.8oz) of roasted coffee beans, we recommend Size M (160 Γ— 230 + 80mm). If your beans are exceptionally light roasted and bulky, Size L (190 Γ— 260 + 90mm) provides superior headspace. Ground coffee can comfortably utilize Size S or M.

How do I measure my product to find the right size?

Place your product in a measuring container or bag and note the volume it occupies. Add 20-30% for headspace (needed for sealing and zipper closure). Our size guide shows approximate capacity in grams and milliliters for each size.

Can I order custom sizes not listed here?

Yes! We offer fully custom dimensions from 50mm to 500mm in width and height. Custom sizes have a minimum order of 1,000 pieces for digital printing and 5,000 for plate printing. Contact us with your specifications for a quote.

What is the difference between Stand Up and Flat Bottom pouches?

Stand Up Pouches have a bottom gusset that expands when filled, allowing the pouch to stand upright. They are cost-effective and popular for snacks, coffee, and pet treats. Flat Bottom Bags have a box-shaped bottom with more volume and premium shelf presence, ideal for specialty coffee and premium products.

How accurate are the capacity estimates?

Capacity depends on product density. Light fluffy products (like puffed snacks) need larger sizes, while dense products (like nuts or powder) need smaller ones. Our estimates are based on average product densities. We recommend ordering samples to test fill before large orders.
