Square Bottom Pouches FAQs

Square bottom pouches offer maximum shelf stability and a premium appearance, making them ideal for retail-heavy categories like pet food, coffee, and supplements. We help you make design decisions that support brand elevation and sustainability in equal measure. Discover more in our square bottom pouch FAQ.

What are square bottom pouches?

Square bottom pouches — also known as box bottom or flat-bottom pouches and bags — are a premium flexible packaging format that combines maximum shelf stability with a high-end, box-like appearance. Unlike traditional stand-up pouches, the square base allows the pack to sit upright more securely, while offering five printable panels for impactful branding and product information.

At SPS Pouches, we recommend square bottom pouches for brands that need visual presence and structural strength — especially in categories like coffee, pet food, and sports nutrition. These pouches are ideal for heavier or bulkier products, as they distribute weight evenly and optimise space on shelf and during transit. They are particularly useful for heavy weight formats of 2kg, 3kg and 5kg.

We supply square bottom pouches with high-barrier recyclable films, optional zippers or valves, and custom finishes. Whether you’re elevating an established brand or launching in retail for the first time, square bottom packaging delivers both function and shelf appeal.
