How to Measure a Stand Up Pouch Bag
August 1, 2022
To measure a stand up pouch bag, you begin with the width followed by the height and bottom gusset.
The bottom fold is called the bottom gusset; this is measured when the bag is lying flat and unfilled. You take the measurement from the bottom gusset up to the top fold. 2 to 3 inches is a typical bottom gusset in a small standup pouch, which will open up to 4 to 6 inches respectively when you fill with product. Write down the gusset measurement so you have the exact measurements you need.

Did you know you can design your own stand up pouch bag? Many pouches have a re-closable closure at the opening. You need to take this lip into consideration when measuring because it is above the seal or closure and is not part of the fill-able area; you do this by measuring the distance from the opening to the closure.
A good optional feature stand up pouch design is a tear notch at the top of the pouch; this is used for an easy open of the standup pouch.
