Gusset Bag Packaging

The gusset is an additional piece of material used to increase the capacity and strength of a bag. It adds structure, stability, and flexibility to the packaging, allowing it to hold more items than usual.

Thus, gusset bags are great for storing multiple or bulk items as they have much greater capacity than traditional bags.

Gusset bags are convenient and popular in food industry for packaging items like coffee beans, coffee grounds, pet food, dry powder and other food products.

They come in various sizes, making them suitable for large and small amounts of product. Furthermore, they provide an easy-to-use solution that is consumer friendly. 

Gusset Bag Packaging Benefits

Save spacing:

Compared to other packaging containers such as bottles, wooden bags, and plastic jars, gusset bags take up less space.

Increased capacity:

Adding a "gusset" on the bag expands more volume, allowing more space to store products.

Versatile:

Gusset bags are available in various sizes and styles, making them suitable for different products, from food to pet supplies.

Enhanced shelf appeal:

Guss bags can stand upright on shelves and counters as like stand up pouches, making them eye-catching on shelf display for potential customers.

Better stackability:

The shape of the gusset bag allows for better stacking when packed into cases or pallets, making them easier to ship and store.

Gusset Bag Packaging material and options

Gusset bags come in a variety of materials, including low density polyethylene, polypropylene, Kraft paper material, aluminum foil and Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene. For the best results, a Gusset bag should be made from Kraft paper on the outside with an inner layer of aluminum foil.

This combination creates a barrier to moisture, light and oxygen so that food remains fresher for longer. The Kraft paper is also robust with great elasticity and tear resistance, making the Gusset bag more durable and able to withstand use over a longer period of time.
