Space-saving & eye-catching

Looking for new ways to present, pack and ship your goods? Whether you sell nutritional supplements, spices or anything in between, our flat pouch packaging seals your products up tight and protects them from the outside world. They are perfect for small, medium-sized or flat products, for samples, or for packaging inside a box or in a vending machine. And because they are tapered on all sides, you can pack more pouches into each outgoing delivery or storage container.

Customise & impress

Choose a smaller flat pouch for tea, cosmetics or small items like jewellery, or pick a larger size for coffee, spices or dried goods. Help your package stand out with full-colour printing and a choice of a matte or glossy finish. Then consider adding practical features — a resealable zip to preserve freshness or a hang hole so that your pouch can be hung on display.

Design & preview in 3D

When you're ready to start designing your pouch bags, you have options: upload your own design, explore our customisable templates or let one of our design pros create a one-of-a-kind design for you. You'll be able to review your design in 3D to make sure it's just right before we take care of the rest (be sure to remove any dielines to prevent them from getting printed). Your flat pouches will arrive printed and open at the top. Simply fill your pouch and heat-seal to close, and your product will be ready to impress.

VistaPrint offers Flat Pouches design templates in assorted styles.

Frequently asked questions

No. All our flat pouches are printed and shipped open at the top. After filling, use a heat sealer on the top to seal securely. This protects contents from being exposed to the elements or damaged in transit.

Our multi-layer aluminium film is not microwave safe, but the rest of our flexible flat pouches are. They can be heated up to 70° C for 2 hours, or to 100° C for up to 15 minutes. They can also be stored in a freezer as low as -15° C, though they are not suitable for deep freezing.

Our flat pouch packaging is made from a film material that prevents mould from growing by blocking moisture and oxygen.

When ordering flat pouches, keep in mind that the listed dimensions are for the pouch exterior, so the interior is slightly smaller. The capacity is also affected by zip closures, sealing sizes, tear notches and hanging holes. For best results, do not fill the pouch more than 2/3 of its capacity and allow air to exit before closing and sealing. If you're unsure about sizing, we recommend ordering one size up.

Flexible packaging is versatile, great for:

  • Tea leaves.
  • Health & beauty: scrubs, shampoo, lotions, liquid soap and other cosmetics.
  • Supplements: vitamins, oil capsules, protein powder and more.
  • Food & drink: fruits, nuts, cereals, dairy, herbs, spices, cured meat, smoothies, juices and even frozen food.
  • Pet food: dry and wet food.

Yes, our personalised pouches protect against external moisture and oxygen, which helps keep the contents inside fresh. Our metallised bags offer the most protection from light — natural or fluorescent. If you need extra puncture resistance, we highly recommend our multilayered white and multilayered transparent options. Plus, all of our pouches will keep your contents fresh for over 6 months when stored in a cool, dry place.

Your pouches will arrive open at the top, so you can fill them! This means you will have to seal them yourself with an impulse heat sealer, which helps protect contents from being exposed to the elements or damaged in transit.

For our 80 x 130 mm pouch, you can add a 7 mm round hole. For all other sizes, you can add a Euro hole which is 1 x 3 cm.

The minimum order quantity is 100 flexible flat pouches.
