Block Bottom Bag Packaging Style

Block Bottom Bag

The block bottom bag style, often termed as square bottom bags or flat bottom bags, presents an innovative packaging solution. It is used across a variety of sectors such as the bakery, confectionary, and pharmaceutical industries. Characterised by a flat, square-shaped base, these bags have the capability to stand upright independently. This offers a unique advantage in terms of display and storage.

Enhanced Capacity to Stack and Maintain Stability

Unlike standard pillow pouches, this bag’s flat bottom allows the box to stand upright on its own, increasing stability and simplifying stacking. Customers will find it easier to store the products and shelf presence will increase as a result.

Design & Display

From a retail perspective, block bottom bags provide superb display features. The upright design and broad sides deliver ample room for branding and essential product information. Additionally, their shape enables efficient utilisation of shelf space, a feature that sets them apart from round or irregularly shaped containers.

Strong Materials

The materials utilised for these bags can vary greatly, ranging from paper and plastic to laminated materials. The choice of material hinges on the bag’s purpose. For example, food items often require bags made from high-quality plastic or laminated materials, forming a protective barrier against moisture, oxygen, and light to preserve product freshness.

Applications

In practical applications, block bottom bags have become a staple in food industries, housing products such as coffee, tea, cereal, snacks, and pet food. Their sturdy design and ability to stand upright make them a preferred choice for packaging bulky items and loose, granulated products. Furthermore, these bags have also found usage in non-food industries, packaging small hardware items, craft supplies, and cosmetics, demonstrating their diverse functionality. By utilising block bottom bags, businesses can optimise product display and storage, while ensuring product safety and freshness.
