BLOCK BOTTOM Bag
Block bottom bags combine the best of both worlds: the stability of a box and the flexibility of a bag. With a flat base and upright structure, these bags offer excellent shelf presentation and efficient use of space, making them a preferred choice for premium packaging across various industries.
What is a block bottom bag?

The design includes gussets on the sides and a flat bottom, creating a stable, box-like shape. This structure not only enhances product visibility but also maximizes filling volume and stacking efficiency.
