// What It Is

Small, simple and surprisingly useful

A flat pouch is sealed on three sides and lies flat — no side or bottom gusset. That makes it the ideal home for smaller or lightweight quantities: ground coffee, coffee pods, tea, nuts, bath salts and other food or non-food products.

Because it’s slim and light, it slips into a larger pack for a taster set and posts easily to customers direct. Add a hang hole for display hooks, a zip for resealing, or a window to show the product — it’s the workhorse behind samples, portion packs and promotions.

// Why Brands Use It

The sampler’s secret weapon

When you need to get product into hands cheaply — a taster, a single serve, a promo drop — nothing beats a flat pouch on cost or convenience.

01

One of the lowest-cost formats

The simple three-side seal makes it one of the cheapest ways to package a product properly.

02

Built for the post

Slim and light, it’s easy to store, cheap to ship and ideal for direct-to-customer and letterbox delivery.

03

Perfect for taster sets

Compile a selection of your range into one gift box or sampler — ready for the unboxing moment customers love to share.

04

Reseals when it needs to

Add a zip for products like granola that need to stay dry and fresh after the first open.

// Options & Add-Ons

Configure it to your product

Start with a stock pouch or spec a custom run — these are the features that make a flat pouch work harder.

Resealable zip

Add a zip so customers can reseal the pouch — keeping ground coffee, granola or tea dry and fresh after opening.

Hang hole

Display frontally on hooks or stack horizontally on shelves — a hang hole makes the pouch flexible in-store.

Window

A clear window lets customers see the product inside before they buy — useful for teas, blends and whole-leaf.

Print up to 8 colours

Put your logo and product information across the face for full brand exposure, even at sample size.

Barrier or budget builds

Clear PET/LLDPE, a VMPET or foil barrier for protection, or a low-cost 2-ply polypropylene laminate with decent barrier — typically 80µm, thinner or thicker on request.

Sample & portion sizes

Ideal for 70–100g sample and single-serve portions — the format most roasters reach for to get coffee into new hands.

// FAQ

Flat pouches, answered

A flat pouch is a bag sealed on three sides with no gusset, so it lies flat. That makes it ideal for smaller or lightweight quantities — samples, single serves and portion packs — and easy to post directly to customers.

Ground coffee, coffee pods, tea, nuts, bath salts and other food or non-food products, especially in sample and portion sizes. It’s the go-to for taster sets, promotions and gift boxes, and works well for granola thanks to an optional reseal.

Yes — add a zip if you need the pouch to reseal, which keeps products like ground coffee, tea and granola dry and fresh after opening. You can also add a window and a hang hole.

Clear PET/LLDPE, a VMPET or foil barrier for more protection, or a low-cost 2-ply polypropylene laminate with decent barrier — typically 80µm and available thinner or thicker on request. Recyclable and compostable options are also available — see our materials comparison.
