Why Brands Choose This Format
This pouch weighs a fraction of a rigid box or jar, cutting both material and freight costs while still giving a product a shelf-ready, branded presentation. Because pouches ship and store flat before filling, a brand holds months of packaging inventory in a small footprint, filling on demand as runs require. Coffee roasters, snack brands, cosmetics companies, supplement makers, and specialty retailers all rely on this format.
Eco-Friendly Pouch Packaging
A 2025 McKinsey survey found that over 60% of U.S. consumers pick green packaging when they have the choice. Crat Packaging offers recyclable and compostable film options alongside standard laminates, so brands can match sustainability goals to budget.
Sizing and Print Options
Sizes run from single-serve sample pouches to multi-pound bulk bags, cut to your product volume. Choose matte, gloss, or soft-touch finishes with full-color branding, clear windows, and barrier layers for freshness.
