Stand-up Pouches
Stand-up pouches are the fastest growing segment of flexible packaging. Printed pouches offer numerous benefits and options in terms of branding, shelf appeal, functionality and sustainability. Across the retail environment, printed stand-up pouches give dynamic shelf appeal to brands in categories as diverse as ready meals, pet foods, fruit, snacking and confectionery.
Brand owners value the full-face branding, efficient use of shelf space and ease of use throughout the supply chain.

Stand-up pouch packaging formats
Constantia FFP has in-house facilities to create custom printed pouches and our technical team will work with you to select the correct format to meet your needs.
Doy Pouches
The Doy pouch is the most common type of stand-up pouch packaging with a characteristic rounded base. The Doy style enables light-weight products to stand up as the bottom seal acts as ‘feet’ for the pouch.
K-Seal Pouches
Allows more product to be contained near the bottom of the bag. The seals on both sides rise at a 30-degree angle, taking the pressure off the sides of the pouches to allow for additional volume and reduce the risk of puncture or tear.
V-Seal Pouches (also known as a Plough Bottom)
The V-Seal has no seal at the bottom of the pouch as the weight of product sits flush on the bottom of the pouch. It therefore does not require the bottom seal to help the pouch stand erect.

Constantia FFP recognised the desire within the industry to move packaging towards a lighter, yet robust solution and we responded by investing significantly in our stand-up pouch packaging capabilities.
Whitworths Ltd
FFP deliver recyclable pouches for a new snacks range.
The Evening Snacks range was an important launch for us and the packaging was an integral factor. FFP are an existing supplier and we were well aware of the excellent work they have been doing in sustainable packaging. It was therefore a natural progression to ask them to support us with this launch & to provide a recyclable packaging solution.
Blog – Stand-Up Pouches
From eye-catching designs and resealable bags, to convenient grab-n-go options, it’s easy to see why stand-up pouches and pre-made bags, in particular, are popping up everywhere.
Sustainability
Moving suitable products into stand-up pouch packaging can present opportunities to reduce plastic and in turn carbon footprint. Using the right materials, pouches can also offer recyclable solutions.
Light-weighting
Pouches can represent a huge weight saving over other packaging products such as glass, pots / tubs and trays. The weight and space savings in transportation and storage can help in the reduction of carbon emissions.
Recyclable Solutions
Addressing the issue of recyclability in packaging, Constantia FFP have developed mono material laminates that can be recycled with carrier bags at larger supermarkets, as classified by OPRL. Available as stand-up pouches, in reel form or pre-made bags, these materials offer outstanding functionality including high barrier options and offer a sustainable alternative to complex multi material laminates that cannot currently be recycled.
