Material Notes
The clear/silver construction uses a laminated film structure with a transparent outer layer and a metalized inner layer. The metalized silver barrier significantly reduces moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR) and oxygen transmission rate (OTR) compared to standard clear poly bags, making it appropriate for roasted coffee, nuts, dried foods, and other products sensitive to oxidation or humidity ingress.
Use Case Notes
The 6" x 9.5" format with a 3.5" gusset is sized for approximately 6–8 oz of coffee or nuts when filled. Specialty roasters use this pouch for single-origin retail bags at farmers markets, specialty grocery, and direct-to-consumer e-commerce. Trail mix and granola brands use it for single-serve or small-batch retail SKUs. The hang hole enables placement on standard peg hooks without a separate hang tag, reducing SKU complexity for retail distributors.
Common Questions
Q: Are these FDA compliant for direct food contact?
A: Yes. All stand-up pouches in this line are FDA and USDA compliant for direct food contact applications.
Q: Can I heat seal the top of these pouches after filling?
A: Yes. The open top can be heat sealed above the zipper for tamper evidence and extended barrier performance. The zipper remains functional below the heat seal line.
Q: What is the approximate fill capacity?
A: Fill capacity depends on product density. For reference, roasted coffee beans fill to approximately 6–8 oz; mixed nuts fill to approximately 8–10 oz in this 6" x 9.5" + 3.5" gusset format.
Why Buy
The 6" x 9.5" clear/silver stand-up pouch combines four retail display features — self-standing gusset, resealable zipper, tear notch, and hang hole — with a metalized barrier film in a single ready-to-fill format. For specialty food brands, roasters, and nut processors, this pouch eliminates the need to source and combine multiple packaging components, reducing SKU complexity and per-unit packaging cost.
