Bottom-Gusset Pouches

Although bottom-gusset bags are similar to side-gusset designs, they feature a bottom gusset with the ability to have a zipper closure. Side gusset bags are most suitable for bulk packing pet foods and grains, whereas bottom bags are typically used for smaller-volume applications. The most significant advantage of bottom-gusset pouches is their ability to stand erect and appear highly visible to consumers when on display. In addition, their collapsible design allows them to fold easily for efficient storage when empty.

Caltex Plastics offers an extensive selection of bottom-gusset pouch design options, including the ability to print your company’s logo or message. Our designers have years of experience helping customers develop the most practical and cost-efficient gusset packaging solutions for their unique applications.

The bottom fold on a bottom-gusset bag enables the pouch to square off and form-fit the product it will hold. Depending on the bag size and the degree of durability needed, manufacturers use various types of seals when producing side-gusset bags, including K-seals and round bottom seals. The unique structure allows retailers to display the bag vertically or horizontally on store shelves.
