Can you make Custom Sizes?

A: Yep, we sure can. But there are a few important things to know before you go custom.


Q: What’s the catch with custom sizes?

A: Custom sizes require special machine setups. That setup costs us time and money. So, to make it worth it, we need a minimum order of 5,000 units. The good news? No setup fee. Ever.


Q: Is custom less sustainable?

A: Unfortunately, yeah. Custom sizes often create more material waste — during setup and every time we run that size again. That’s why we always recommend sticking with our standard sizes when you can. Less waste = less impact.


Q: What are the size limits for custom pouches?

We’re glad you asked. Here’s the nitty-gritty by pouch type.


Web Width Limits:


  • Metallized film: Max usable width = 27.5”
  • Clear or white film: Max usable width = 29.5”

(Note: These are based on current supply — always subject to change.)



✦ Stand-Up Pouches


Height (with gusset):


  • Max = [2 × height] + gusset ≤ 27.5" or 29.5"
  • Example: 12” height + 2.5” gusset = 26.5” total = ✅ Good to go
  • Max height with a 2” gusset = 12.75” (metallized) or 13.75” (clear/white)
  • Min = 3.14” (with zipper, 4.5”+)


Gusset:


  • Max = 5”
  • Min = 2”


Width:


  • Max = 13.7”
  • Min = 3.14”



✦ Flat Pouches


Height:


  • Max = 13.75”
  • Min = 3.14”(with zipper, 4.5”+)


Width:


  • Max = 13.7”
  • Min = 3.14”


TL;DR


Want to go custom? You’ll need to hit 5,000 units and be mindful of waste. Our standard sizes are designed to be sustainable and cost-effective — so unless custom is critical, we say stick with what’s ready to roll.
