This structure allows the pouch to hold more product while maintaining a sleek, upright appearance, making it ideal for packaging items like coffee, pet food, snacks, grains, and powdered goods. With a strong structure, customizable design, and space-efficient footprint, gusseted pouches are a smart choice for both retail and bulk applications.

Benefits of Side-Gusseted Pouches

Eagle’s preformed side gusseted bags and pouches are gaining popularity for many applications across a wide range of industries. Durable material choices help extend shelf life by ensuring the product remains safely sealed and protected.

The dual-sided gussets increase the bag’s filling volume which allows the pouch to hold more product and weight. This capacity adds more flexibility when dealing with large or abnormally shaped products. Choosing gusset bag packaging also provides you with an extra surface for printing allowing you to further customize your packaging and increase visibility for your brand. Side gussets are an ideal location to place secondary logos, additional colors, usage tips, product instructions or anything else that you might want to include in your packaging’s overall design.

Gusseted bags are commonly used for packaging snacks and dry items such as nuts, cookies and coffee beans as well as frozen foods and beauty products. Enhancements and custom features compatible with premade gusset bags provide versatility for your brand.
