Quick Answers for Buyers

At a glance

The facts procurement teams ask for first — verified by our production team.

What is this product?
Custom printed three side seal pouches are flexible bags with three heat-sealed edges — two side seals and one top seal — made from a single sheet of laminated film. There is no bottom gusset and no insert, so material use per pouch is the lowest of any format we make, and the flat, full-face panel is ideal for branded graphics and small single-serve packs.
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
From 3g single-serve sachets up to 2kg retail packs — standard formats include 5g, 10g, 20g, 50g, 100g, 250g, 500g, 1kg and 2kg, or fully custom dimensions (width × height) 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, acidity and target shelf life.
Accessories available
Tear notch, hang hole, euro hole, three-side-seal zipper, clear window, round corner, spout for liquid versions, and laser scoring for easy-open — 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

Our Custom Printed Three Side Seal Pouch Range

Every three side seal pouch is built from a single laminated sheet sealed on three edges — no bottom gusset, no insert, no wasted film. That construction gives you the lowest unit cost of any format we manufacture, the fastest bag-making speed, and a flat full-face panel that carries your artwork without distortion. If your product needs to stand on a shelf instead, compare our stand-up pouches and flat bottom pouches — 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, sauces and dehydrated foods needing 12–24 months of shelf life. Blocks light, oxygen and moisture almost completely.

PET/AL/PE

Metallized Barrier

A cost-effective middle ground for tea, snack and powder sachets. Good oxygen and light barrier at a lower unit price.

PET/VMPET/PE

Standard Barrier

Everyday clarity and strength for candy, single-serve powders and general dry goods with a shorter shelf life.

PET/PE

Liquid & Hot-Fill Grade

Nylon-based structures with puncture resistance for sauces, dressings and pasteurised liquid sachets.

PA/PE

Recyclable Mono-Material

Mono-PE or MDO-PE laminates designed for the circular economy, keeping usable barrier and print quality.

Mono-PE / MDO-PE

Compostable

Plant-based films with compostability documentation for eco-positioned and organic brands.

PLA / PBAT

Kraft Paper Laminate

A natural, tactile paper surface with a moisture barrier inner layer — the signature look of organic brands.

Kraft / PE

Surface Finish & Effects

Matte, glossy, soft-touch, spot UV, cold foil and registered matte to make your shelf presence premium.

Accessories & Closures

Tear notch, hang hole, euro hole, zipper, clear window, round corner, spout and laser scoring — fitted in-line.

Fin seal or overlap seal, straight or rounded corners, and seal widths tuned to your filling machine.

What Our Clients Say

★★★★★

"We moved our entire single-serve drink mix line to their three side seal sachets. Material waste dropped compared with the stand-up packs we used before, and the 11-color print means our fruit illustrations actually look like fruit on the shelf."

SN

Sofia Nowak

Brand Manager, Bella Mix Foods · Poland

★★★★★

"Digital printing let us launch five spice sachet SKUs at 3,000 pieces each instead of committing to 10,000 per design. Same film structure, only the artwork changed. That flexibility is why we consolidated three suppliers into one."

RK

Rajesh Kumar

Procurement Head, Spice Route Exports · India

★★★★★

"Twelve containers of treat sachets and not one seal failure. They ran the seal strength and drop tests before shipping, which our previous factory never did, and the leak-proof structure held up in humid conditions."

Custom Printed Three Side Seal Pouches — Frequently Asked Questions

What is a three side seal pouch and when should I choose it?▼

A three side seal pouch is a flat sachet sealed on three edges — two sides and the top — from a single sheet of laminated film, with no bottom gusset and no insert. It uses less film per pouch than any other format we make, runs faster on bag-making lines, and gives you a clean flat panel for artwork. Choose three side seal for single-serve sachets, powders, sauces, samples and any product where cost per pouch matters more than standing on a shelf; choose a stand-up pouch or flat bottom pouch when shelf presence is the priority.

What is the MOQ for custom printed three side seal pouches?▼

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.

How many printing colors can you offer, and does more color cost more?▼

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.

Which film structure should I choose for my product?▼

It depends on your product's oil content, moisture sensitivity and target shelf life. For coffee, tea and dry powders needing 12–24 months, we recommend foil-based PET/AL/PE. For snack and powder sachets with a shorter shelf life, PET/VMPET/PE gives good barrier at a lower cost. For sauces and liquids, a PA/PE or foil structure provides the puncture resistance and leak-proof seal you need. 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.

Can you print my own artwork, and do you provide a proof first?▼

Yes. Send your artwork in AI, PDF or PSD format and our prepress team will check bleed, seal positions, 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.

What are your sample and production lead times?▼

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.

Are your three side seal pouches compatible with my filling machine?▼

We manufacture to your machine's specifications. Share your filling line brand, sachet magazine or suction-cup size, and required open-mouth width, and we will match the dimensions, film stiffness and seal width accordingly. We can also supply roll film for form-fill-seal lines if that suits your process better.

What certifications do you hold, and what payment terms do you accept?▼

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.
