Affordable, customizable and oh so convenient. This makes side gusset bags the choice for smart entrepreneurs looking for good packaging. Versatile in use, affordable in price!

The different seals of side gusset pouches
Discover the differences between a K-seal and a straight seal for side gusseted pouches! K-seals are incorporated into the sides of the side gusset bag. This seal ensures that the bag stands upright more firmly than the straight seal. The straight seal is not incorporated into the side. Instead, this seal runs down the middle of the spine of the side gusset bag.
Another advantage of the K-seal is that a seal in the side of the bag is a lot less noticeable than the straight seal. Together with the improved strength, this ultimately gives the side gusset bag a somewhat sleeker appearance. Do you have questions or preferences? Please let us know! We are happy to inform you.
