Side-Gusset Pouches

Side-gusset bags have become increasingly popular in the food industry, primarily for grain, powders and coffees. Their collapsable designs help maximize storage space, while their lightweight, efficient materials offer cost savings over other packaging options. Companies prefer these bag designs because they are highly customizable to meet various needs, including the need to accommodate high-quality graphics.

At Caltex Plastics, we offer a comprehensive range of side-gusset pouch solutions to handle all your packaging requirements. Our experienced design team can help you choose the ideal package size and best material type based on your needs.

Side-gusseted pouches feature folds along the sides of the bags, allowing them to fold flat when empty and expand when filled. The flat bottom lets the bag stand vertically on display, offering increased marketability for specialty food products on grocery store shelves.

This type of packaging is available in smaller pouch sizes that accommodate coffee and powders as well as larger sizes to handle products like cat litter, soil and gardening products, and large volumes of pet food.

Material Options Available

Caltex Plastics manufactures side-gusset pouches in various materials, including laminate and 8.0 mil poly. Laminate options include:

Benefits of Using Custom Side-Gusset Bags From Caltex Plastics

When you choose side-gusset pouches from Caltex Plastics to package your products, you’ll experience benefits like:

• Design versatility: Besides being able to collapse for storage, a side-gusset design allows a filled bag to stand erect, offering prime visibility on store shelves.
• Customization: Caltex Plastics can produce custom side-gusset pouches in the size and thickness you need. We also offer printing capabilities, allowing you to advertise your brand or product with the highest-quality graphics.
