Gusset pouches are flexible packaging extended to the side or the bottom of the bag to increase the volume and strength of the structure. Side gusset pouches are commonly used for coffee, tea, and snacks to create more volume, maximising the pouch’s storage capacity. It also allows the bag and product to be displayed vertically and horizontally on the shelf without too much space.
Bottom gusset pouches are classified into three types: the round bottom, K-seal bottom and plow bottom gusset pouches, each with various fitting requirements. The round bottom gusset packs products weighing less than 500 grams, whereas the K-seal and Plow bottom supports products weighing more than 500 grams. Plow bottom pouches are typically used for flour and sugars.
