Custom Printed Shaped Pouches
Shaped pouches are stand-up bags die-cut to a custom outline, so the silhouette matches your product or brand rather than a standard rectangle. They are used for coffee, snacks, supplements, cosmetics and gift sets where shelf presence matters. You have three decisions to make: barrier level, which depends on how sensitive the contents are to oxygen and moisture; closure, usually a zipper or a plain top seal, with a degassing valve if the product releases CO2; and size, which follows your fill weight and how the bag sits on a shelf. Material is the fourth: recyclable PE or PP mono-material, compostable, kraft paper, or a foil laminate for high barrier. Send us the product, fill weight and quantity and we will quote.

Shaped Pouches — frequently asked
What is the minimum order for shaped pouches?
Digital printing starts at 100 pcs for pouches. Rotogravure, which is cheaper per unit at volume, starts at 10,000 pcs. If you are testing a shape before committing, digital is the lower-risk route. Tell us your fill weight and quantity and we will confirm which method fits.
How do I choose the material?
It depends on the product. Recyclable PE and PP mono-material and compostable options suit dry goods with a short shelf life. Kraft paper suits a natural look. Foil and metallised laminates give the highest barrier for coffee, supplements and anything sensitive to oxygen or moisture. Send us the product and we will recommend one.
How long does production take?
Digital printing runs 10-15 working days. Rotogravure runs 20-25 working days. Both are counted from artwork approval, not from order date, so the artwork stage is what you control. Shipping is by air or sea from Foshan, with DDP available.
Can I see a sample before ordering?
Yes. We provide free stock samples and you cover the courier only. Stock samples show material and finish but not your custom shape. For a shaped sample with your artwork, we need the die-cut outline and artwork file first, and that sample is quoted separately.
What types of custom packaging does Clover offer?
We produce the full range of flexible packaging: flat bottom pouches, stand up pouches, flat pouches, spout pouches, side gusset bags, rollstock film and special shaped bags — in recyclable, compostable and conventional laminates.
Can I get a prototype or sample before placing a bulk order?
Yes. Digital printed samples and physical prototypes are available so you can check material, barrier and finish before committing to a production run. Free stock samples ship within a few days.
