Custom Printed Side Gusset Bags
A side gusset bag has a folded gusset down each side, so it stands up on a shelf, holds more volume than a flat bag, and packs flat before filling. It is the classic coffee format, and the same structure is used for tea, cocoa, dried fruit and dry goods that need a barrier. The decisions are the fill weight, whether the bag needs a valve and a tin tie, the barrier against the product, and whether the gusset carries text. Send the fill weight and the quantity.

Side Gusset Bags — frequently asked
Side gusset or flat bottom bag?
A side gusset bag packs flat before filling and holds a tall, narrow profile; a flat bottom bag has a wider base and sits more squarely on the shelf. Both are used for coffee and tea — tell us how the pack is displayed and shipped and we will suggest one.
Does the bag need a valve?
Roasted coffee releases gas, so a one-way valve stops the pack ballooning and keeps the aroma in. If the product does not degas, a plain heat seal or a zipper is enough.
Can the gussets be printed?
Yes — the artwork can run across the face and the gussets, which is how a pack stays readable when it is turned on the shelf. Send the artwork and the dieline and we will lay it out.
What do you need from us to quote?
The fill weight, the closure, the film or paper you want, the quantity and any shelf-life target. A reference photo is enough for us to price the closest structure.
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.
