Side Gusset Pouch
Side Gusset Pouch
The side gusset bag is an older pouch configuration that is often used in the coffee industry.
Before the invention of K-style or Doyen Stand Up Pouches, one of the first gusseted configurations of barrier pouches was the side gusset pouch. While side gusset pouches are an older configuration of pouch, they are still popular with the coffee industry, and many others.
- Side gusset pouches have limited closure options.
- Side gusseted pouches are fully printable (front, back, sides, bottom)
- Plate printed side gusset pouches only require 1 set of print plates.
- Best for thicker materials.
- Not compatible with spouts.
As the bottom gusset provides the stability and allows the pouch to stay upright, the proper choice of which style to use is important. Typically, there are 3 options:
- Doyen (also called Round Bottom or Doypack)
- K-Seal
- Corner Bottom (also called Plow (Plough) Bottom or Folded Bottom)

Frequently Asked Questions About Side Gusseted Bags

Q: Can a Side Gusseted Pouch Stand Up on A shelf?
Yes and no, a Side Gusseted Pouch will generally "stand up" on a shelf when filled with a granular, powder or bean (like coffee beans), but will not stand up until it is loaded.
Q: Are Side Gusseted Pouches going out of style?
Side gusseted pouches are older and more traditional style of pouch, so if you are going for a traditional look, by all means go for it. Generally speaking the side gusseted pouch is getting eclipsed by the box bottom pouch or stand up pouch for many industries.
Q: Can Side Gusseted Pouches have a standard zipper?
A standard zipper isn't recommended on side gusset bags. Using a Tin-Tie or just heat sealing the pouch is preferred. If you want a similar design but with a zipper consider a box bottom pouch.
Q: Can I control where the fin is located on a side gusseted pouch?
First for those that don't know, a side gusseted pouch has two primary seals, one runs along the bottom of the pouch, and the other runs the vertical distance of the pouch's length. The bottom seal cannot be moved, but the seal that runs the length of the bag can be placed on one of the corners of the bags to hide it, or straight down the middle, like a more traditional style. When it runs down the middle it can effect the readability of text and graphics.
