Flat bottom Pouch with Zipper For Chocolate Packaging
Flat bottom pouch with zipper, kraft/VMPET/PE or kraft/AL/PE, 140 micron, provides light and moisture barrier, ideal for chocolate and coffee brands.
This flat bottom pouch uses a kraft paper outer layer with either VMPET or AL as the barrier ply, laminated to PE as the inner sealant. The total thickness is 140 micron, though this can be adjusted. The kraft layer gives a natural, matte look, while the metallised or foil core blocks light and moisture that would otherwise stale chocolate, coffee, or nuts. The flat base lets the filled bag stand upright on a shelf without support.
Filling lines run this pouch on standard form-fill-seal equipment, but the flat bottom and zipper require a slower cycle than a simple three-side-seal bag. The zipper is resealable, so it suits products that are opened and closed repeatedly. A one-way degassing valve makes sense for whole bean coffee but not for chocolate. A window can show the product, though it adds cost and reduces barrier area. For brands that need full recyclability, a mono-material PE structure is an option, but it will not match the oxygen barrier of a foil laminate. Use foil when shelf life is the priority; choose mono-PE when the packaging must meet recyclability targets and the product turns over quickly.

Frequently asked
What is the minimum order quantity for this flat bottom pouch with zipper?
With digital printing, MOQ starts at 100 pcs for pouches. For rotogravure printing, MOQ is 10,000 pcs. Digital runs ship in 10-15 working days after artwork approval; rotogravure takes 20-25 working days.
Can I use this pouch for coffee even though it is marketed for chocolate?
Yes, but you will likely need a one-way degassing valve to release CO2 from roasted beans. The kraft/AL/PE structure provides a strong oxygen barrier. Without a valve, the pouch may inflate or burst during the first days after roasting.
Is the 140 micron thickness suitable for a 1 kg fill?
140 micron is a common gauge for pouches up to about 500 g. For 1 kg, you may want to increase thickness or test drop performance. The flat bottom design adds stability, but the seal strength and material stiffness should be validated on your filling line.
