Flat Bottom Pouch VS Stand-up Pouch

The key difference between a flat bottom pouch and a stand-up pouch lies in their base and overall stability:

Flat Bottom Pouch: As the name suggests, it has a flat, rigid base that allows it to stand upright on a shelf without any additional support. This creates a premium look and offers more shelf presence for your product. They are often ideal for larger volumes or bulkier items.

Stand-Up Pouch: This pouch features a gusset at the bottom that folds out to create a flat base, allowing the pouch to stand upright. However, they may not be as stable as flat bottom pouches, especially when filled with heavier products. Stand-up pouches are a versatile option, suitable for a wide range of products and often come with resealable closures for convenience.

At Kalee, we offer lay-flat pouches, stand up pouches and flat-bottom pouches for whole bean and ground coffee. These are available in standard sizes, or we can create custom coffee packaging to fit your specifications. We also offer sustainable pouches with recyclable, post-consumer recyclable and compostable films.
Oxygen is the enemy of freshly roasted coffee. Because coffee gives off carbon dioxide after it is roasted, adding a degassing valve to your coffee packages allows the carbon dioxide to escape from the pouch without letting oxygen back in. Our degassing valve, paired with our high-barrier films, helps to keep oxygen and moisture out, while sealing in the aroma.
