Stand-Up Pouch Suppliers for Snack Brands

What is a stand-up pouch and why use one for snacks?

A stand-up pouch is a flexible bag with a gusseted bottom that stands on shelf, made from laminated film layers that block moisture, oxygen, and light. For snacks, that means longer shelf life, a large printable face, and low shipping weight versus rigid packaging. Tyne's kraft barrier pouches (TY-060119/120) add a resealable zipper so chips, granola, or jerky stay fresh after opening.

What is the minimum order for custom snack pouches?

Custom gravure pouch runs often start at 5,000+ units, while digital printing can start lower. Tyne's kraft barrier stand-up pouches carry a 5,000-unit MOQ, with each size and print treated as its own SKU. Before you commit to thousands, order a $2.99 sample of the exact pouch, confirm the size and seal work for your snack, then place the bulk order.

How much do stand-up pouches cost per unit?

Tyne's resealable kraft zipper pouches are $0.38 for the 150 g size (TY-060119) and $0.45 for 250 g (TY-060120) at the 5,000-unit MOQ. Kraft coffee-style valve pouches run $0.42 for 250 g (TY-060153) and $0.55 for 500 g (TY-060154), dropping to about $0.30-$0.40 per unit at 10,000. Custom print and freight are quoted per order.

Do stand-up pouches have resealable zippers?

Yes. Tyne's kraft zipper pouches (TY-060119/120) use a press-to-close zipper so customers can reseal between servings, important for multi-portion snacks like trail mix, crackers, and dried fruit. The coffee-style pouches (TY-060153/154) instead carry a one-way degassing valve for freshly roasted or aromatic products. Choose the closure that matches how your snack is eaten and stored.

How does barrier film affect snack shelf life?

Barrier film is what keeps oxygen and moisture out, and it drives shelf life more than any other spec. A high-barrier laminate can push an oxygen-sensitive snack to 12-24 months, while a basic structure might manage only a few months. Tyne's snack pouches (TY-060119/120/153/154) are built on barrier kraft laminate; sample one and run your own freshness test before scaling.

What sizes do snack pouches come in?

Tyne's kraft zipper pouches come in 150 g and 250 g fills (TY-060119/120), sized for single-serve and standard retail snacks, while the kraft valve pouches hold 250 g and 500 g (TY-060153/154) for coffee, nuts, and aromatic mixes. For rigid or premium formats, matte snack cartons (TY-060161/162) and a clear spouted pouch (TY-060160) round out the range.

Can I get custom-printed pouches for my brand?

Yes, every Tyne snack pouch supports custom print, so your artwork wraps the full face of the bag. Each printed design and size counts as a separate SKU at the 5,000-unit MOQ. Upload your files when requesting a bulk quote. Because the base pouch ships as a $2.99 sample, you can confirm the structure and finish before you invest in printing plates or setup.

Are compostable or recyclable snack pouches available?

Tyne's kraft zipper pouches (TY-060119/120) are tagged recyclable, and for brands prioritizing end-of-life, the matte snack cartons (TY-060161/162) are both recyclable and compostable paperboard. If sustainability is central to your brand, sample the paperboard cartons alongside the kraft pouches and compare barrier performance for your specific snack before deciding.

What is the lead time for a snack pouch order?

Tyne's kraft stand-up pouches and snack cartons ship bulk in about 3-4 weeks after artwork approval and payment. Metal tins and some rigid formats run 5-7 weeks. Samples ship immediately, so you can test fill, seal, and print legibility on the real pouch while your bulk print files are being finalized, keeping your launch timeline tight.

How do I choose the right pouch for my snack?

Start with your snack's sensitivities and required shelf life, let that set the barrier spec, then pick the format and closure for how it's used. Reclosable snacks want a zipper (TY-060119/120); coffee and aromatics want a valve (TY-060153/154); pourable or wet snacks suit a spouted pouch (TY-060160). Sample two or three for $2.99 each and let the product decide.
