Shaped Pouches

Shaped pouches are flexible packages with custom die-cut contours such as fruit, bottle, animal, character or brand-specific shapes. They can be developed from flat pouches, stand-up pouches or spout pouches according to the product, filling method and intended use.
The pouch shape, seal area, material structure, opening feature and artwork must be designed together. Available options may include transparent areas, tear notches, hang holes, rounded contours and spouts, subject to production and performance requirements

What Is a  Shaped Pouch ?

Shaped pouches are flexible packages with outer contours created through heat sealing, pouch making and custom die cutting. Instead of using only a conventional rectangular outline, the pouch can follow a fruit, bottle, animal, drop, leaf or brand-specific shape.
Shaped pouches may be developed from flat, stand-up and spout pouch structures. The base pouch structure determines how the package is filled, sealed, displayed and used, while the custom contour provides its distinctive visual appearance.
Not every proposed shape is suitable for production. Narrow sections, sharp internal corners, insufficient seal widths and cut lines positioned too close to printed text or functional components can affect sealing, filling and die-cutting performance.

Advantages Of Shaped Pouches

Custom Contours for Brand Recognition

Shaped pouches can use product-related or brand-specific contours to create a distinctive retail presentation. The shape should remain easy to fill, seal, pack, transport and display.

Printing and Transparent Areas

Artwork can be coordinated with the die-cut outline, while selected transparent areas may be used to display the product. Important text and design elements should remain inside the designated safe printing area.

Functional Features

Depending on the base pouch structure, options may include tear notches, hang holes, rounded contours, clear areas and spouts.

Efficient Empty-Package Storage

Unfilled shaped pouches can normally be packed and transported flat, depending on their structure and attached components.
