Stand-up Pouches: colour and format options

Board & material options

All materials
  • Coated art paper swatch

    Coated art paper

    Smooth, bright paper that reproduces colour and fine detail accurately.

    Available in gloss, satin and matt; pairs well with lamination.

  • Barrier film laminate swatch

    Barrier film laminate

    PET and PE layers that keep moisture and air out of stand-up pouches.

    Metallised or clear; ask for the structure that suits your product shelf life.

  • Kraft paper swatch

    Kraft paper

    Strong, natural-toned paper with a visible fibre, brown or white-bleached.

    Ink looks softer on brown kraft, so we proof colours on the actual sheet.

Finishing options

All finishes
  • Hot foil stamping swatch

    Hot foil stamping

    Metallic or coloured foil pressed onto the surface with heat.

    Best on logos and fine lines; available in gold, silver and colours.

  • Matte lamination swatch

    Matte lamination

    A thin non-reflective film that protects the print and gives a calm, even surface.

    Deepens dark colours; can show scuffs on very dark designs.

  • Emboss and deboss swatch

    Emboss and deboss

    A die raises or sinks part of the surface to add relief you can feel.

    Combine with foil for a premium finish; needs a tooling die.

What drives the cost

We do not publish a price list, because no two specifications are alike. The levers that decide a quote are consistent, though, and knowing them lets you judge a budget before you ask.

Quantity
Set-up cost is spread over more units as the run grows.
Size
Larger formats use more material and may need larger presses.
Material
Board grade, paper weight and film structure change the unit price.
Print & finish
Colours, coverage and finishes such as foil add process steps.
Structure
Inserts, windows and hand assembly add labour and tooling.

When you ask for a quote, ask for two or three quantities on it. The unit price usually falls faster than people expect.

Design & artwork

No print-ready files? We can draw them

From an artwork check, through a dimensioned dieline and print-ready files, to a full concept package across a range — done by the factory that will make it, so the file is drawn to our presses and proven on a physical sample.
