Choosing the Right Packaging Structure Starts With Product Needs.

01

Product Application

Start with the packed product, filling method, shelf channel, barrier needs, and whether the pouch must stand, hang, or run on automatic equipment.

Use case
02

Printing Area

Flat-bottom and side-gusset bags create more visible panels; flat seal pouches are simpler and can keep artwork focused on one main face.

Artwork planning
03

Functional Features

Zippers, tear notches, windows, hang holes, spouts, valves, and reseal routes should be planned before artwork and sample approval.

Feature planning
04

Prototype Check

Confirm size, material, thickness, seal width, fill volume, carton packing, and opening method with a physical sample before bulk production.

Structure reference

Choosing the right packaging structure starts with product needs.

Use the overview cards to choose a retail-ready format, then move into the detail page for seal edges, gussets, zipper route, print panels, filling method, and prototype check.

Ask For Structure Advice
Which bag style should I choose first?

Start with product use, filling method, shelf display, opening method, and seal route. Then compare three-side seal, four-side seal, center seal, side seal, stand-up zipper, eight-side seal, or shaped bags.

Do bag styles affect printing?

Yes. Structure changes print panels, seal zones, zipper/window placement, and variable data area positioning.

Are the structure visuals the permanent art direction?

These pages can still improve with even stronger structure-specific diagrams or product photos, but each route already has its own visual explanation.
