Gualapack Ukraine is expanding the product line by introducing new packaging formats — Flat Bottom and Side Gusset Bag. This step aims to meet market demands and enhance packaging efficiency for producers across various industries.
The new formats from Gualapack Ukraine are ideal for products where vertical stability with minimal filling and capacity with optimal shape are important. They feature a stable form that requires no additional support and ensures efficient use of space during transportation and storage.
While each has its own advantage necessary for a specific product:
- Flat bottom pouch is composed of five surfaces that create a single structure. Its
unique feature is the ability to stand upright even with minimal or lightweight contents.
- Side Gusset Bag – a pouch featuring side gussets that adjust to various filling levels.
The pouch's stability is achieved through its filled contents. This packaging format ensures optimal volume utilization.
Flat-bottom pouches are commonly used in industries such as pet food, coffee, superfoods, and sports nutrition. Additionally, this packaging format is frequently used for group packaging in the confectionery and other sectors.
Thanks to high-tech equipment, Gualapack Ukraine has eliminated common issues found in traditional packaging, such as product entrapment in inner flexure. The Flat Bottom and Side Gusset pouches are manufactured using patented technologies that provide a unique market advantage. Their special design prevents product retention, as the pouch is formed without internal flexure which is frequent problem in conventional packaging.
Another common challenge manufacturers face during the filling process is the accidental closing of zip closures to transportation movement or temperature fluctuations.
We have solved this issue with innovative closure formats:
• Pocket Zip – it remains closed during filling but does not obstruct the process since it is secured on just one side.
• Aplix Zip – features a wide sealing surface that prevents small particles from getting stuck. Even if the product enters the closure area, the zipper still fits snugly.
Gualapack's solutions help manufacturers avoid production stoppages and ensure maximum convenience during product filling.
To enhance user convenience, the packaging can be equipped with:
- Zip-lock (Standard zip, Pocket zip, Aplix zip) to keep products fresh.
- Laser scoring or laser perforation for easy opening.
- Euro slots for location on the trading floor and handles for easy carrying.
Unlike conventional pouches that often tear where multiple panels meet, our advanced manufacturing approach reinforces this critical junction – resulting in stronger, more durable packaging with a clean, streamlined structure.
What’s more, both pouch formats are available in mono-material versions, making them easier to recycle and helping brands align with EU sustainability targets. This launch reflects Gualapack Ukraine`s ongoing dedication to smart, forward-thinking packaging – built not only for performance but also for a sustainable future.
