Custom Kraft Stand Up Pouches
Custom kraft stand up pouches combine the warm, tactile feel of real kraft paper on the outside with a heat-sealable moisture and oxygen barrier liner on the inside. Minimums depend on the product; we confirm yours with your quote. Produced in 10 to 14 business days (rush in 4 to 5), with free design help, no die charges and free 50-state shipping.
What are custom kraft stand up pouches?
Custom kraft stand up pouches are multi-layer flexible Doypack bags that bond a tactile kraft paper outer ply to an internal barrier film (metallized film, aluminum foil or high-barrier clear laminate) and an inner heat-sealable food-contact layer. Unlike single-ply paper bakery sacks that let air in and absorb grease spots, a laminated kraft stand up pouch blocks moisture, aroma loss and UV light while standing upright on a W-folded bottom gusset. Brands can print full-color CMYK, spot Pantone inks or crisp white ink directly onto brown or white kraft paper, or pair a kraft body with a clear front window. Minimums depend on the product; we confirm yours with your quote. At CubitPack, custom kraft stand up pouches ship in 10 to 14 business days (4 to 5 days rush) with free design help, no die charges and free 50-state delivery.

Request a Quote →What size custom kraft stand up pouch do I need?
Kraft stand up pouches are measured by outside Width (left to right) × Height (top to bottom) × Bottom Gusset (full unfolded base depth) in inches. Because multi-layer kraft paper is stiffer than thin film, leave 1.5 inches of top headspace for the zipper and heat seal. Whether you are comparing kraft doypack pouches, custom brown kraft pouches, kraft stand up barrier bags, resealable kraft pouches or kraft stand up pouches with logo, we size the template to your exact container.
| Outer size (W × H × Gusset) | Typical dry weight & volume | Common kraft pouch uses |
|---|---|---|
| 4 × 6 × 2 in | 1 to 2 oz (8 to 12 fl oz) | Sample tea leaves, culinary spices, travel bath soak |
| 5 × 8 × 2.5 in | 4 oz (16 to 22 fl oz) | Artisan jerky, dried mango, dog training bites, herbs |
| 6 × 9 × 3 in | 8 to 12 oz (28 to 38 fl oz) | Whole-bean coffee, oat granola, cookies, Epsom salts |
| 7 × 10.5 × 3.5 in | 16 oz / 1 lb (48 to 60 fl oz) | Almond flour, pancake mix, chia seeds, cacao powder |
| 8.5 × 12 × 4 in | 32 oz / 2 lb (85 to 105 fl oz) | Plant protein powder, bulk nuts, oats, pet kibble |
| 10 × 14 × 5 in | 3 to 5 lb (150 to 210 fl oz) | Cafe coffee roasts, family snack packs, lawn seed |

- Add 0.25 in width on heavy kraft laminatesReal kraft paper laminated over foil bends stiffer than plain film, so extra width helps the bottom gusset pop open.
- Pick foil-lined kraft for UV-sensitive goodsFor roasted coffee, matcha, herbs or vitamins, choose a windowless metallized or aluminum-lined kraft pouch.
- Add a clear window for visual foodsShoppers buy granola, dried fruit, pasta and pet biscuits faster when they see the texture inside.
- Use a white underbase for bright colorsWe print an opaque white ink mask under light Pantone and CMYK graphics on brown kraft.
- Switch to kraft-look film for wet roomsFor sugar scrubs or bath salts near a wet tub, a kraft-printed matte film repels water splashes.
- Add a degassing valve for fresh coffeeWhole-bean coffee releases CO2 after roasting; a one-way valve vents gas without letting oxygen in.

What are the most common custom kraft stand up pouch mistakes?
Avoid these five sizing, barrier and prepress mistakes when ordering custom kraft stand up pouches. When specifying branded kraft stand up pouches, wholesale kraft stand up pouches, bulk custom kraft stand up pouches, personalized kraft stand up pouches and custom size kraft stand up pouches, avoid these common production mistakes
- Printing light pastel inks or barcodes directly on unbleached brown kraft without an opaque white ink underbase, leaving colors dull and barcodes unscannable.
- Sizing a stiff multi-layer kraft pouch too tight for airy products like herbal tea or granola clusters, which prevents the stiffer W-gusset from opening flat.
- Placing a die-cut clear window too close to the side heat seals, bottom gusset crease or top zipper track, weakening the bag frame.
- Using real uncoated paper outer plies in wet shower or ice-bucket environments instead of switching to a waterproof kraft-look matte film.
- Setting impulse heat-sealer temperatures too low for thick paper-foil laminates, resulting in weak top header seals above the tear notch.

What is the minimum order quantity for custom kraft stand up pouches?
Minimums depend on the product and whether your pouch uses solid foil-lined kraft or a die-cut window, so we confirm yours with your quote. Enter up to three quantities in the quote form to compare unit price breaks.
Will oily foods like nuts, granola or pet treats stain a kraft stand up pouch?
No. Custom kraft stand up pouches are laminated with an internal barrier core (foil, metallized film or clear barrier film) and a heat-sealable polyethylene liner, so oils and moisture never touch the outer kraft paper.
How do you print bright colors and readable barcodes on brown kraft pouches?
Because brown kraft darkens translucent inks, we print an opaque white ink underbase beneath light CMYK or Pantone colors and place a solid white rectangle behind your barcode so scanners read it cleanly.
Can I get a clear product window on a custom kraft stand up pouch?
Yes. We can either laminate real kraft paper with a die-cut front window over a high-barrier clear film, or print a realistic kraft texture with a clear knockout window at no die charge.
What is the difference between brown kraft and white kraft stand up pouches?
Unbleached brown kraft has a warm tan shade and visible wood fibers that pair well with dark inks and white ink accents. Bleached white kraft keeps the same paper texture while giving a bright white base for pastels.
Are custom kraft stand up pouches safe for direct food, coffee and tea contact?
Yes, food-safe inner barrier liners and low-odor inks are available on request. When you note food, coffee, tea, supplement or pet-treat use on your quote, we produce your bags in a certified partner facility and share certificates on request.
How do I seal custom kraft stand up pouches after filling them?
Pouches arrive flat with the side seams and bottom gusset sealed, the zipper closed, and the top mouth open. Fill through the top, press the zipper shut, and seal the top header above the tear notches with an impulse sealer.
Do multi-layer kraft pouches need a higher impulse sealer setting than plastic pouches?
Yes. Because heat travels through the outer kraft paper layer and middle barrier ply to melt the inner sealant film, set your impulse or band sealer slightly higher than on thin plastic bags.
How long do custom kraft stand up pouches take to produce and ship?
Standard production takes 10 to 14 business days after you approve your free 2D proof and 3D mockup and complete payment. Rush production in 4 to 5 business days is quoted per order. Standard shipping to all 50 US states is free.
Can I test kraft stand up pouch sizes and barrier liners before a full run?
Yes. Order our $50 sample kit to inspect real kraft barrier pouches and test-fill sizes on your counter, or order a paid custom-printed sample of your exact bag, both credited toward your full order.
