Stand-up pouches include a gusset on the bottom, making it a good choice for products that are bulkier or need to stand up on a retailer’s shelf. Stand-up pouches can also include a hang hole for hanging on a retailer’s peg hook, and a zipper closure for re-sealability
Lay-flat pouches are as the name implies—they are flat and do not include a bottom gusset. They can be a good choice for products that are relatively thin or small. Lay-flat pouches can also include a hang hole for hanging on a retailer’s peg hook, and a zipper closure for re-sealability
