A Side Gusset Pouch is a type of flexible packaging with extra material on the sides that expands for added storage. Commonly used for tea and coffee, these pouches are also known as Tea or Coffee Bags. Unlike bottom gusset bags, they are less box-shaped but provide ample space for branding and product information. Though not as visually striking on shelves, their ability to expand when filled makes them highly efficient for storage.
Side gusset pouches are made using extrusion, coextrusion, and lamination to create a strong, seamless laminate. Materials vary based on product needs and shelf life, with common options including plastic (PE, PP, PET) for flexibility and durability, paper for eco-friendliness, and foil for superior barrier protection against light, moisture, and oxygen.
