3-Side Seal Pouch
Pharma, skincare, wipes, seasoning —
one flat pouch
About this format
One fold instead of a fourth seal
The base is a fold in the film, not a seal — one fewer line to leak, and artwork that runs unbroken from front to back. Add foil and the same pouch becomes a light-proof, oxygen-proof unit dose. Its limit is weight: the base bulges once the fill gets heavy or lumpy. Past that, ask about the 4-side seal sachet.
One seal fewer
No bottom seal means no bottom seal to fail.
Single dose, sealed
Foil blocks oxygen and light.
It has to survive the trip.

What it is made of
Who fills a 3-side seal pouch
The categories that reach for this shape are packing a single use — one dose, one sample, one sachet of seasoning.
01
Pharma & supplements
The pouch is part of the stability file. Foil, and a seal you can validate.
All
All industries
The regulars are on this ring. The full list is longer.
02
Cosmetics & skincare
The sample that sells the full size. Print first, then oils and fragrance held in.
03
Sauces & ready meals
Wet, oily, acidic, often sterilised in the pack. The seal has to close through product.
04
Coffee & tea
Beans give off gas for days; the film breathes one way and seals the other.
05
Pet food
Fat and weight, in one pack. It has to hold the load and not let the oil through.
06
Baby food
The least forgiving category we serve. Every layer is a food-contact decision.
07
Snacks & confectionery
Speed and crispness. Filled on your line at rate, sealed against moisture and light.
Questions
What buyers ask before they order
- What can be fitted to the pouch?
Plain zipper, pocket zipper, one-way degassing valve for coffee, spout and cap, lipstick cap, die-cut shapes and carry handles, a clear window, matt or gloss varnish, and a clear front with an aluminium-foil back.
- Can we see a sample before the real run?
Yes. Once the quoted price is agreed we produce a sample for you to test, so both sides are sure before the line starts.
- How long does production take?
Counted from the purchase order and an approved paper proof: an ordinary film spec takes 20 to 45 days, and a repeat run takes 14 to 25 days. Reserving the material in advance can be quicker. A special spec takes 60 days or more, and we tell you which one yours is before you commit.
