A: Yep, we sure can. But there are a few important things to know before you go custom.
Q: What’s the catch with custom sizes?
A: Custom sizes require special machine setups. That setup costs us time and money. So, to make it worth it, we need a minimum order of 5,000 units. The good news? No setup fee. Ever.
Q: Is custom less sustainable?
A: Unfortunately, yeah. Custom sizes often create more material waste — during setup and every time we run that size again. That’s why we always recommend sticking with our standard sizes when you can. Less waste = less impact.
Q: What are the size limits for custom pouches?
We’re glad you asked. Here’s the nitty-gritty by pouch type.
Web Width Limits:
- Metallized film: Max usable width = 27.5”
- Clear or white film: Max usable width = 29.5”
(Note: These are based on current supply — always subject to change.)
✦ Stand-Up Pouches
Height (with gusset):
- Max = [2 × height] + gusset ≤ 27.5" or 29.5"
- Example: 12” height + 2.5” gusset = 26.5” total = ✅ Good to go
- Max height with a 2” gusset = 12.75” (metallized) or 13.75” (clear/white)
- Min = 3.14” (with zipper, 4.5”+)
Gusset:
- Max = 5”
- Min = 2”
Width:
- Max = 13.7”
- Min = 3.14”
✦ Flat Pouches
Height:
- Max = 13.75”
- Min = 3.14”(with zipper, 4.5”+)
Width:
- Max = 13.7”
- Min = 3.14”
TL;DR
Want to go custom? You’ll need to hit 5,000 units and be mindful of waste. Our standard sizes are designed to be sustainable and cost-effective — so unless custom is critical, we say stick with what’s ready to roll.
