How to Determine the Right Size for Your Custom Stand-Up Pouches?

At JSHINE Packaging, we understand that choosing the correct stand-up pouch dimensions is crucial for your product’s functionality, aesthetics, and cost-efficiency. Since our pouches are fully customizable (size, material, printing), there’s no “one-size-fits-all” solution. Here’s our expert guide to simplify the sizing process for you!



Why Do Stand-Up Pouch Sizes Vary?

  • Product Density Matters:
    Lighter products (e.g., powders) require more headspace, while dense items (e.g., grains) need tighter dimensions.

  • Filling Method:
    Automated filling lines may require specific tolerances for smooth operations.

  • Branding & Shelf Impact:
    Taller or wider pouches can enhance label visibility and consumer appeal.


3-Step Method to Estimate Your Pouch Size

Step 1: Measure Your Product’s Volume

  1. Weigh your product (e.g., 250g of coffee beans).

  2. Place the sample in a makeshift “mock pouch” (e.g., folded paper or a plastic wrap).

  3. Measure the width (W) and height (H) of the wrapped sample.

Step 2: Calculate Base Dimensions
For stand-up pouches, the base width determines stability. A common formula is:

  • Base Width (B) = Total Width (W) ÷ 2
    Example: If your mock pouch measures W=14cm, the base should be 7cm.

Step 3: Add Tolerance for Sealing
Add 1-2cm to the height and width to accommodate heat-sealing and prevent overfilling.

Industry-Specific Sizing Standards

Based on our 10+ years of experience, here are recommended dimensions for common products:

Product Type Weight Pouch Dimensions (W × H × Base)
Rice 1kg 18cm × 28cm × 9cm
Powder (e.g., Protein) 500g 15cm × 22cm × 7.5cm
Granules (e.g., Coffee) 250g 12cm × 18cm × 6cm

Note: These are general guidelines. Contact us for tailored adjustments.

 

Why Trust JSHINE’s Custom Sizing Expertise?

  1. Tailored Solutions:
    We factor in your product’s density, filling process, and shelf-life requirements.

  2. Material Optimization:
    Recommend cost-effective composite films (e.g., PET/AL/PE for rice) to avoid over-engineering.

  3. Sampling:
    Provide virtual or physical samples to ensure perfect fit before mass production. But this way, there will be samples fee. We can send free physical samples which we have done but freight is needed. Please contact us for free samples or more questions
