Choose a stand up pouch supplier by checking whether the proposed bag fits your product, seals on your equipment and comes with a clear specification. Compare quotations for the same construction and order quantity. The unit price means little if the bags use different materials, dimensions or print arrangements.
Buying custom pouches wholesale starts with a packaging brief. You can review our custom stand up pouch product page , then use the questions below to prepare it.
Specify the bag, material, print and features together when requesting a wholesale quotation. Is a doy pouch the same thing as a stand up pouch? Buyers may use “doy pouch” or “doy bag packaging” when asking about a flexible bag that stands on an expanded base. Confirm the actual bag shape with a drawing rather than relying on the name.
THIMONNIER presents DOYPACK® premade pouches as a stand-up format. For your enquiry, specify the bottom construction, dimensions and closure. A familiar name does not establish the material, usable capacity or filling compatibility.
Will a stand up pouch suit my product? It depends on the product and how the bag will be filled and used. Dry snacks, coffee, powders and pet treats have different protection and handling requirements.
Use the relevant application page as a starting point: food packaging , coffee packaging , pet food packaging or supplement packaging . Then describe your actual product rather than assuming every pouch shown is suitable.
If the bag format is still undecided, compare a flat bottom pouch or side gusset pouch . A product dispensed through a fitment may need a spout pouch instead. Confirm filling conditions for the chosen format.
Can I order by fill weight alone? No. Products with the same weight can occupy different volumes. Particle shape, bulk density and trapped air all affect the space they need. The zipper and sealing clearance reduce the usable area inside the bag.
Work through the stand up pouch size guide , then fill a sample. Ask the supplier to identify width, height, gusset notation and dimension tolerances on the drawing. Keep the agreed drawing with the quotation.
How should I compare material recommendations? Compare the complete proposed structures and the evidence relevant to your product. “Kraft,” “foil” and “high barrier” are descriptions, not complete performance specifications.
Our pouch materials article explains oxygen and moisture protection. The material overview helps you compare appearances. Ask what is inside each proposed structure and which layer forms the seal.
For food, confirm documentation covering the intended use. The FDA’s food types and conditions of use is a useful reference for a US-market discussion. Tell the supplier your destination market, filling temperature and storage conditions.
Which features should be included in the quotation? Include every feature you expect to order: zipper, tear notch, window, valve, hang hole or other accessory. Their positions need to fit the usable fill area and artwork.
Read the feature selection guide and compare our accessory options . Check a sample by opening, pouring and closing it. If a feature does not help the intended use, ask whether it needs to be included.
What should a custom pouches wholesale quotation spell out? It should identify dimensions, material structure, thickness specification, print method, finish, accessories, quantity and number of artwork designs. Ask what is included in the price and what is charged separately.
Confirm the minimum order quantity for the actual construction and print method. Ask whether it applies per size, per design or to the combined order. Do not assume that several designs can share the same minimum.
Clarify artwork setup, proof approval, production timing, packing, shipping terms and any permitted quantity variation. Record the point from which lead time is measured. If you compare suppliers, send each one the same brief and request the same quantity breaks.
Can I approve the order from a digital proof? A digital proof can check text, layout and feature positions. It does not verify filling capacity, seal performance or how the pouch stands.
Request sample pouches for a physical trial. Fill and seal them on the intended equipment, then check handling and product condition. Intertek’s seal-strength testing information explains one way to assess seals. Choose additional tests around the actual distribution conditions.
Should sustainability be part of the supplier brief? Yes, when you plan to make a disposal claim. State the destination market and the route you are considering, then request evidence for the finished printed pouch.
Compare the compostable stand up pouch guide with our recyclable packaging overview . If BPI certification is claimed, check the certified product catalog and confirm that the proposed item is covered. An outer paper layer does not settle the question.
What should I send to Illusionpack first? Send the product type, fill weight and approximate volume, shelf-life target, filling process, destination market, preferred bag format and features. Add the order quantity, number of designs and the date you need the bags.
If you have an existing pouch, include its drawing or specification and explain what you want to improve. Send your packaging brief so we can discuss the proposed construction and sampling requirements.
What else should I clarify before ordering? Can one pouch size cover several products? Possibly, if each product passes the filling and handling checks. Different bulk volumes can leave one product too cramped and another with more empty space than intended.
Is the lowest unit price the best wholesale offer? Compare the full specification, setup costs, samples, delivery terms and required order quantity. A lower price for a different bag is not an equivalent quotation.
