With a resealable press-close strip and a heat-sealable header, these food-safe pouches offer an eco-friendly packaging solution with a smart look and feel, and are suitable for a wide range of food stuffs – design your own today!
Our compostable stand-up pouches feature a brown kraft paper outer layer, providing a smart look and feel, with an inner layer made from Polylactic Acid (PLA).
PLA is a material made from renewable resources, such as corn starch or sugar cane, that conforms to EN13432 – the industrial composting standard.
Suitable for a wide variety of produce, including nuts, fruit, dried foods, confectionery, pet food and more, these food-safe pouches squeeze shut to keep produce fresh – with a seal that can be used over and over again.
Flat-packed for efficient, convenient storage, the pouches feature a bottom gusset that expands, allowing the pouch to stand up independently on the shelf.
They can be heat-sealed with a wide variety of heat sealers and feature handy tear-off notches for simple opening when heat-sealed.
Our compostable pouches have a 12-month shelf life, provided they are stored correctly, in a cool, dry place, away from exposure to direct sunlight, heat or moisture.
These pouches are designed for disposal in an industrial composting facility. Always check with your local authority before disposing of compostable packaging with your organic waste.
How do I add my own design onto the pouches?
Choose whether you want to print on one or both sides of the pouch, then click on 'Add Your Design'. This opens our design tool, which allows you to upload an image (e.g. company logo) or create your own design.
Can I print on just one side of the pouch?
Yes, you can choose to print on just one side of the pouch, or on both sides.
Can I have a different design printed on each side of the pouch?
Yes, each side of the pouch is designed separately, so you can have different designs printed on either side, if you wish to..
Can I print over the pouch seal?
Yes, you can print over the seal. However, please note that the seal raises the print surface slightly, so the design may not be 100% accurate on this part of the pouch.
Can I print above the pouch seal?
Yes, you can print above the seal, all the way to the top of the designated print area. However, please note that these pouches contain a tear-off strip, so the very top of the pouch (i.e. above this strip) will be removed when the pouch is opened. Please note the position of the tear-off strip, as outlined in our design tool.
Can my design include text?
Yes it can. However, please note that all text needs to be outlined and the minimum printable font size is 10pt.
Can my design extend all the way to the edge of the print area?
Yes it can. The print area is fixed within set margins from the edge of the pouch, so your design can extend all the way to the edge of the print area.
Can my design include large areas of solid colour?
We do not recommend printing large, solid areas, as mottling can occur due to the digital print process.
Can you print any type of design?
We can, but if you are printing on a brown pouch, we would recommend a simple design in a single colour, to reduce the potential darkening effect caused by the brown paper.
Can you print in any colour?
No. It is not possible to print white so, if your design includes white, please choose white pouches. If your design includes lighter colours, we recommend also choosing white pouches, for more accurate colour reproduction and to reduce the potential darkening effect caused by the brown paper.
Can you print white on a brown pouch?
No. It is not possible to print white. If your design includes white, please choose white pouches, so that the pouch itself can be used as the white within your design.
Do printed colours look the same on white and brown pouches?
No. For more accurate colour reproduction, we recommend choosing white pouches, as brown paper can produce a slight darkening effect.
Can I see a preview of my design?
Yes you can. Our design tool will provide a preview of what the design will look like on your pouch. Please note that this is for illustrative purposes and not an exact preview of what your pouches will look like. If you wish to see a preview of your pouch, you can order a sample (see next question).
Can I order a sample of my pouches printed with my design?
Yes you can. After placing your order, you will be contacted by the PB Print team. You can request a single sample of your pouches from them at a cost of £25 + VAT. This fee is refundable upon request after your order is complete.
Are these pouches recyclable?
No, these pouches are not recyclable in paper recycling streams, but they are suitable for disposal in an industrial composting facility, along with other organic waste (e.g. food and garden waste). Please always check with your local authority to see if they accept compostable packaging in their organic recycling.
Are these pouches compostable?
Yes, these pouches are suitable for industrial composting. They are made from brown kraft paper laminated to a layer of Polylactic Acid (PLA), which is a material made using renewable resources - such as sugar cane or corn starch - that conforms to industrial composting standard EN13432. We advise that customers check with their local authority to see if they accept compostable packaging in their organic waste collection.
How should I store these compostable pouches?
These pouches must be stored in a cool, dark place, in their original packaging. They have a maximum shelf life of 12 months as standard, as they are designed to structurally break down and decompose after this point. Exposure to sunlight, direct heat or moisture can reduce this shelf life.
