3 Side Seal Bag

Our three side seal bag, also known as a sachet, is a versatile and practical packaging solution designed to meet diverse industry needs. The three sided seal pouch is similar in shape to a 4-Side Seal Bag. The main difference is that the front and back panels of the bag are sealed on 3 sides and folded on 1 side. Generally, the bottom side of the bag is folded which allows the bag to flex allowing for products to settle at the bottom properly.

The design offers a flat and compact shape, which is ideal for a variety of products including beverages, snacks, dairy, coffee, and more. The three side seal pouches from Unified Flex ensure product freshness, protection, and easy storage. 

This packaging design is also a good option when uniformity is important. In some cases, multiple three side seal pouches are packed in a folding carton or a box, allowing consumers to buy multiple packs in a carton.

Frequently Asked Questions

When choosing between 3 Side Seal Bags and stand up pouches, it’s important to consider both the cost and functionality to determine the best option for your product and packaging needs. 

Cost Comparison: 

  • 3 Side Seal Bags: These bags are typically more economical due to their simpler design, using less material. They are flat, which reduces shipping and storage costs. 
  • Stand Up Pouches: These bags are generally more expensive because of their gusseted bottom and additional materials, leading to higher production, storage, and shipping costs. 

Functionality Comparison: 

  • 3 Side Seal Bags: These bags are compact and flat, making them ideal for smaller products. However, they cannot stand on their own, which may not be suitable for products that need prominent shelf presence. 
  • Stand Up Pouches: These bags have a gusseted bottom that allows them to stand upright, providing a premium shelf appeal. They are ideal for larger products or liquids and offer greater stability but are more expensive and take up more space when unfilled.
