Quick Answers for Buyers
At a glanceThe facts procurement teams ask for first — verified by our production team.
- What is this product?
- Custom printed flat bottom pouches are flexible bags built from a 5-panel structure (front, back, two side gussets and a sealed block base). They stand square on the shelf and carry your artwork across a far larger printable area than a stand-up pouch.
- Minimum order quantity (MOQ)
- 3,000 pcs for digital printing — multiple SKUs can be combined in one order. 10,000 pcs for gravure printing, with better pricing at full-roll material volume.
- Production lead time
- Digital printing: 7–9 days. Gravure printing: 12–20 days after artwork approval. Samples ship in 3–7 days and digital proofs are ready within 24–48 hours.
- Printing capability
- Up to 11-color gravure across four in-house lines (7, 8, 9 and 11-color) plus digital printing for short runs. The 11-color line reproduces gradients, skin tones and photographic detail that 7–9 color presses flatten.
- Sizes & capacities
- 50g, 100g, 250g, 340g, 500g, 1kg, 2kg, 5kg and 10kg standard formats, or fully custom dimensions (width × height × bottom gusset) matched to your filling line.
- Materials & barrier options
- PET/PE, PET/VMPET/PE, PET/AL/PE, Kraft/PE, PA/PE, EVOH/PE, mono-PE recyclable and PLA/PBAT compostable — selected by your product's oil content, moisture sensitivity and target shelf life.
- Accessories available
- Zipper, slider zipper, one-way degassing valve, tin tie, handle, hang hole, clear window, tear notch and euro hole — fitted in-line during bag making.
- Where they are made
- Foshan Ruihong Industry & Trade Co., Ltd., established 2017 in Foshan, Guangdong, China. 55 bag-making machines, 4 printing lines, 6 inspection machines, 2 dry laminators and 3 solvent-free laminators under one roof.
- Payment terms
- Standard terms are 50% deposit with the balance settled before shipment. Long-term partners can negotiate alternative terms; sample and plate costs are disclosed up front and creditable against bulk orders.

Why Brands Choose Ruihong for Custom Printed Flat Bottom Pouches
Foshan Ruihong Industry & Trade Co., Ltd. has manufactured flexible packaging since 2017, with annual sales of RMB 80–100 million. We produce custom printed flat bottom pouches in both gravure and digital printing — so a 3,000-piece trial run and a multi-container repeat order come from the same factory, with the same film structure and the same color standard.
Our Custom Printed Flat Bottom Pouch Range
Every flat bottom pouch is built from a stable 5-panel construction: a wide block bottom for shelf presence, two side gussets for volume, and front and back panels that give you a full-surface billboard for your artwork. We also manufacture stand-up pouches and printed roll film if that suits your filling line better — and because we run both gravure and digital printing, comparing them is a conversation, not a re-quote.

Material & Structure Customization
The film structure decides your shelf life. Our engineers recommend a laminate based on your product's oil content, moisture sensitivity, acidity and target shelf life — then we run the lamination in-house on solvent-free and dry laminating lines, so barrier performance is controlled from film to finished pouch.
High-Barrier Foil
For coffee, nuts and dehydrated foods needing 12–24 months of shelf life. Blocks light, oxygen and moisture almost completely.
PET/AL/PEMetallized Barrier
A cost-effective middle ground for snacks, dried fruit and tea. Good oxygen and light barrier at a lower unit price.
PET/VMPET/PEStandard Barrier
Everyday clarity and strength for candy, cereal and general dry goods with a shorter shelf life.
PET/PERecyclable Mono-Material
Mono-PE or MDO-PE laminates designed for the circular economy, keeping usable barrier and print quality.
Mono-PE / MDO-PECompostable
Plant-based films with compostability documentation for eco-positioned and organic brands.
PLA / PBATKraft Paper Laminate
A natural, tactile paper surface with a moisture barrier inner layer — the signature look of organic brands.
Kraft / PESurface Finish & Effects

What Our Clients Say
"We moved our whole coffee line to their flat bottom pouches with valves. The print detail on the 11-color machine is noticeably sharper than what our previous supplier delivered, and the blocks stand perfectly straight on the shelf."
"Digital printing let us launch four nut SKUs at 3,000 pieces each instead of committing to 10,000 per design. Same structure, same barrier — only the artwork changed. That flexibility is why we stayed."
"Six containers of 5kg flat bottom rice bags so far, and not one seal failure. They handled the drop test before shipping, which our previous factory never did."
Custom Printed Flat Bottom Pouches — Frequently Asked Questions
A flat bottom pouch (also called a block bottom bag, quad seal bag or side gusset flat bottom bag) uses a five-panel construction: front and back panels, two side gussets and a wide sealed base. It stands square and stable on the shelf, offers a much larger printable front panel than a stand-up pouch, and holds its shape as the contents settle. Choose flat bottom for premium shelf presence and larger capacities; choose stand-up for lower cost at small sizes.
Digital printing starts at 3,000 pcs, and multiple SKUs can be combined in one order — ideal for new product launches and multi-flavour ranges. Gravure printing starts at 10,000 pcs, and pricing improves further when you order a full material roll. Tell us your annual volume and we will quote both options so you can see the break-even point.
We run four in-house gravure lines — 7, 8, 9 and 11-color. Most suppliers stop at 7–9 colors; the 11-color line reproduces gradients, skin tones, photographic images and fine text that flatten or band on lower-color presses. Gravure plate cost is charged once per design and drops per unit as quantity rises, so the color count has less impact on unit price than most buyers expect.
It depends on your product's oil content, moisture sensitivity and target shelf life. For coffee and nuts needing 12–24 months, we recommend foil-based PET/AL/PE. For snacks and dried fruit with shorter shelf life, PET/VMPET/PE gives good barrier at a lower cost. For everyday dry goods, PET/PE is sufficient. If your retail market requires recyclability, we offer mono-PE and MDO-PE structures. Send us your product details and we will recommend the exact structure with barrier data.
Yes. Send your artwork in AI, PDF or PSD format and our prepress team will check bleed, folding lines, color separations and barcode placement. You receive a digital proof for approval before plate making or printing — nothing goes into production until you sign off. If you do not have final artwork yet, we can also support basic layout design.
Digital artwork proofs are usually ready within 24–48 hours, and physical samples take 3–7 days. After you approve the sample, mass production takes 7–9 days for digital printing and 12–20 days for gravure printing. Shipping is additional: express courier 3–7 days, air freight 5–12 days, sea freight 15–40 days depending on destination.
We manufacture to your machine's specifications. Share your filling line brand, pouch magazine or suction-cup size, and required open-mouth width, and we will match the dimensions and film stiffness accordingly. We can also supply roll film for form-fill-seal lines if that suits your process better.
Our materials are supported by ISO 9001 quality management, FDA food-contact and EU 10/2011 declarations, BPA-free and REACH compliance; compostable structures come with compostability documentation. Standard terms are 50% deposit, with the balance settled before shipment; long-term partners can negotiate alternative payment terms. Sample and plate costs are discussed transparently up front and can be credited against bulk orders.
