Size & Weight Limits

Weight Limitations

Weight limitations are really determined by the density of the product being packaged.We can produce large-format box style, Fold-Over-Glue(FOG), pinch-bottom pouches large enough to accommodate weights in the 40-50# range depending on product density.

Size Limitations

Size limitations also depend on product density.We can package products as low as a few ounces of product with SUP or box-style pouches.We can produce large format pouches with 30"+ heights and up to 7.5" side gussets. Height and side gusset combination dimensions will determine largest sizes possible.
