How to Measure a Stand Up Pouches?

In the world of packaging, size is a crucial detail. Stand-up pouches are favored for their convenience and presentation, but proper measurement is integral to ensuring they fit your product perfectly. Below are detailed steps for measuring stand-up pouches to help you achieve accurate packaging.

Stand up pouches have three fundamental measurements: Width (W), Height (H), and Bottom Gusset (BG). It is written out W” x H” x BG”

• Width: measured from the outside left-side edge to the right-side edge of the pouch.
• Height: measured from the outside bottom edge to the very top of the pouch.
• Bottom Gusset: Two times the dimension from the outside bottom edge of the pouch to the maximum depth of the internal fold.

Stand-up pouches correctly measured

Example: Stand up pouch – 5” x 9” x 3”(1.5”x2)

• Total Width (W) = 5”
• Total Height (H) = 9”
• Bottom Gusset (BG) = 1.5” x 2 = 3”

Some companies will occasionally refer to a bottom gusset as (1.5” x 2) instead of 3” in an attempt to make the bottom gusset dimension clearer to the user.
