The stand up pouch is Crat Packaging’s core flexible-packaging format: a self-supporting, gusseted bag that stands upright on shelf without a box, and the structural starting point for every variant in our pouch catalog. If you’re new to flexible packaging and want to understand the base product before choosing a material, closure, or finish, this is the page to start with.

What This Base Pouch Format Actually Is
This flexible-packaging format is built around a bottom gusset — a folded panel at the base that unfolds when filled, letting the pouch stand upright on its own without a box, tray, or display stand. That single structural feature is why the format has replaced boxes and flat bags across so many product categories: it gives you box-like shelf presence at flexible-packaging weight and cost. Every other product in our pouch catalog — mylar, transparent, black, zippered, windowed — starts from this same base structure and adds a specific material, feature, or finish on top of it.
Common Uses for Stand Up Pouches
- Snack foods and dry goods — cereal, granola, trail mix, and chips.
- Coffee and tea — whole bean, ground, and loose-leaf formats.
- Pet food and treats — kibble, treats, and supplement powders.
- Health and beauty — bath salts, powders, and personal-care refills.
- Household goods — laundry pods, cleaning powders, and granular products.
Sizes and Material Options
Stand up pouches are made to your exact dimensions rather than pulled from a limited stock range — from single-serve sample sizes up to multi-pound bulk formats. Material choice depends on what you’re packaging: clear film for visibility, metalized film for barrier protection, kraft-paper laminate for a natural look, or recyclable mono-material film for sustainability-focused brands.
Sustainability Considerations
A 2025 McKinsey & Company survey found over 60% of U.S. consumers pick green packaging when they have the choice. Crat Packaging offers recyclable and FSC-certified film options across this entire pouch line, so sustainability is available at every material tier, not just a premium add-on.
