Flat Bottom Digital Printing
ePac’s digital printing technology brings your brand to life across every panel of the flat bottom format. The box-like structure means your artwork wraps around a pouch that consumers interact with from multiple angles — front, back, and both gusseted sides — making every square inch an opportunity to tell your brand story.
Why Choose Custom Printed Flat Bottom Pouches?
For coffee roasters, specialty food brands, nutritional supplement companies, and pet food producers, the flat bottom format signals a higher tier of product. It sits upright without support, fills efficiently, and offers a canvas for full-bleed, high-impact artwork across more surface area than any other flexible pouch format.
Advantages of Using Flat Bottom Packaging From ePac
Flat bottom pouches are built for brands that need packaging to perform as well as it looks. Here is what makes the format stand apart.
Custom Flat Bottom Sizes for Your Product
Flat bottom pouches are available in custom dimensions sized to your specific product, fill weight, and shelf footprint. Because every flat bottom order is quote-based, our packaging experts work with you directly to identify the right configuration — width, height, gusset, and base — for your exact needs.

Resealable Closure Options for Flat Bottom Pouches
Add the closure that keeps your product fresh, secure, and easy to use. Flat bottom pouches support a range of closure formats to fit your product category and consumer use case — including options unique to the flat bottom structure.
Certified Child-Resistant Options
Third-party certified (CFR 16, Part 1700) for supplements, edibles, and other regulated products. Provides secure access control while remaining functional for adult users.
Pocket Zipper
The pocket zipper is the most common closure for flat bottom pouches and one of the format’s defining features. It sits recessed inside a small pocket at the top of the bag, keeping the zipper protected from contamination and giving the pouch a clean, premium look on the outside.
Press-To-Close
A standard resealable option for flat bottom pouches that don’t require the recessed pocket profile. Easy for consumers to operate and maintains a reliable seal through repeated openings.
Finish Options for Flat Bottom Pouches
Choose the finish that defines your brand’s look and feel across every panel of the bag.
Gloss Finish
Adds a shiny, vibrant look that makes colors pop and grabs attention, perfect for dynamic, bold branding.
Matte Finish
Delivers a smooth, non-reflective look that reduces glare, reads clearly in photos, and gives a modern, premium vibe.
Soft Touch Finish
Adds a velvety, fingerprint-resistant feel that signals luxury, elevates unboxing, and keeps colors rich without shine.
Metallized Effect
Creates a reflective, metallic sheen that boosts depth and perceived value, great for high-impact designs and added light protection.
