Stand-up pouches: a guide for beginners and advanced users

Stand-up pouches can be produced in many different ways. There are different production techniques, especially regarding the bottom fold. A difference is made above all between a normal Doyen bottom and a so-called K-seal bottom.

The two variants differ in the way the bottom fold of the pouch is integrated between the front and the back. The Doyen bottom has the disadvantage that a format-specific tool has to be ordered for it in each case. The K-seal bottom, on the other hand, has the advantage that any format can be produced with one and the same tool.

We use both manufacturing variants in our production. We always produce our Doypacks in fixed formats with a Doyen bottom. Orders with a pouch in the desired format, we always produce with the K-seal bottom.
