GUSSETED Bag

Gusseted bags are a popular and practical packaging style known for their excellent balance between capacity, film usage, and shelf appearance. These bags feature expandable sides (gussets), allowing for greater volume without increasing the overall width of the bag. This makes them ideal for a wide range of products, especially when space efficiency and presentation are key.

What is a Gusseted Bag?
A gusseted bag is a flexible packaging format that includes side folds or pleats, which expand when the bag is filled. This design increases the internal volume of the bag while maintaining a compact footprint. Gusseted bags are often used when a product requires more space or when a more stable, upright presentation is desired.

Products Commonly Found in Gusseted Bags
Thanks to their versatility and efficient use of materials, gusseted bags are used across many industries. Common applications include:

Dry Foods: Coffee, rice, pasta, and pet food.
Snacks and Confectionery: Chips, nuts, and sweets.
Non-Food Items: Detergents, small hardware, and medical supplies.
Bag-in-Box Solutions: Ideal for secondary packaging formats.
