Custom Shape Pouches

What is Die Cut Shape Pouch?

When you walk into a supermarket, you’ll see flat bags hanging on the wall and various pouches stand up on shelves. However, what immediately attracts consumers’ attention are definitely the uniquely shaped bags. 

Custom-designed flexible packaging with irregular silhouettes based on product attributes can be made into animal shapes, fruit outlines, stars, cartoon shapes, and other personalized forms.

These uniquely shaped bags can also be equipped with zippers and easy-tear openings, balancing aesthetics and practicality. Made of materials that meet food contact safety standards, they can package snacks, baking powders, candies, and other food products.

 From a marketing perspective, their distinctive shapes quickly stand out among the vast array of conventionally shaped packaging on the shelves, strengthening brand visual memory and easily stimulating consumers’ curiosity and desire to buy.

Custom Shape Pouches In Various Industry

Casual Snacks

Specialty-shaped pouches are most widely used for casual snacks. Gummies, freeze-dried fruits, kids’ puffed snacks, and viral pastries all lean into this packaging style. Brands can tailor unique shapes—like cat ears, five-pointed stars, or cartoon outlines—to fit their products. These cute designs catch kids’ and young shoppers’ eyes right away, standing out from all the plain square bags on shelves. Their attractive look makes people more likely to buy, helping snacks become popular online hits.

Powdered Drinks & Mixes

Coconut powder, fruit and vegetable meal replacement powders, cereal smoothies, and functional powders commonly use uniquely shaped bags. The designs often conform to the shape of the raw materials; for example, coconut powder might be packaged in a coconut shell shape, or coffee concentrate in a coffee bottle shape. The packaging shape echoes the natural ingredients of the product. This differentiates the product from similar stand-up pouches or flat-bottomed bags, enhancing its perceived sophistication and making it suitable for e-commerce retail and supermarket shelves, facilitating brands in creating a differentiated healthy food image.

CBD Products

CBD packaging bags are typically designed in various unique shapes, paired with exaggerated and trendy graffiti illustrations and highly distinctive fonts. Adding eye-catching processes such as laser hot stamping and partial UV coating creates a dazzling finish that makes the packaging highly recognizable on store shelves. This unique and exaggerated appearance precisely targets young consumers, reinforcing brand personality and effectively enhancing product prestige and market appeal.

Process to produce customized pouches

We follow a rigorous six-step process to ensure every product meets the highest standards of quality and sustainability.

STEP 01

Film Blowing

See Video

Plastic particles are converted into transparent films using a blown film machine.

STEP 02

Printing

See Video

Ink is printed onto a film using a digital printing or gravure printing machine.

STEP 03

Lamination

See Video

 A laminated structure is formed by combining the printed layer, barrier layer, and heat-sealing layer into a laminated structure

STEP 04

Solidification

See Video

Enhances the adhesion of multi-layered structures, eliminating potential problems such as edge curling and wrinkling.

STEP 05

Slitting

See Video

Cut a wide roll of film into narrow rolls, this greatly improves production efficiency.

STEP 06

Bag Making

See Video

The fully automatic bag-making machine bends, folds, and cuts the roll film into the final bag.

Premade Bags

For common solid items, prefabricated bags are a good choice. Manufacturers purchase empty bags, fill them manually or with equipment, and then heat-seal them. 

Even small businesses can use custom-shaped bags, eliminating the need to purchase expensive specialized equipment and professional operators.

Automatic Filling

For packaging liquids, pastes, powders, and other fluid items, a fully automated filling and bag-making machine is a better choice. The plastic roll film is installed at the end of the machine, folded into a cylindrical shape through a series of processes, and then directly filled. 

The ends are then heat-sealed to form a bag, which is finally cut into various shapes using a custom-shaped die; for example, a mold designed to make a bottle can be used to cut bottle-shaped bags.

Is the ink printed on bags Safe?

Of course, the food packaging industry now has increasingly strict controls on ink safety. As long as you purchase packaging bags from reliable supplier, there is absolutely no need to worry about health hazards from printing inks, and you can use it with peace of mind.

Many consumers often worry about whether the printing inks in bags contain harmful substances that could endanger their health. In fact, this concern is completely unnecessary. The printing process and ink formula of laminated bags have already established a comprehensive safety guarantee system, eliminating health risks at the source.

Laminated bags generally use reverse printing , this is the reason to ensuring safety. The printing process precisely prints the ink onto the inner substrate of the laminated film, and then through a curing and lamination process, it is tightly bonded to the outer protective film and the inner food contact film. In the finished bag, the ink is firmly encased between the two films, neither exposed to the external environment nor in direct contact with the food inside the bag, forming a physical barrier. This structure prevents the possibility of ink component migration.

Child resistant designs on Custom Shape Pouches

When packing CBD products in shaped pouches, preventing kids from accidentally touching or eating the contents is a top priority, so child-resistant zippers or caps are practically a must for these bags. Most of these closures work on a two-step opening rule: little children can’t get them open easily, yet adults can use them without any hassle. This design enable customers to use the product without constantly worrying about small kids getting into trouble at home.

Child-Resistant Zippers

Regular zippers either pull straight open or slide open with a slider, both easy for young children to pry apart. Today’s most widely used childproof zipper needs two separate moves: press down first, then slide open. 

Its interlocking teeth fit tight, and paired with the pouch’s contoured shape, it stops kids from popping the bag open while keeping moisture and air out to stop CBD solids from dampening or evaporating. 

Adults zip and unzip with ease, fitting CBD gummies, pellets and powdered formulas perfectly. It can be molded to match the pouch’s custom shape without ruining its look, balancing safety and shelf appeal, ideal for household use.

Child-Resistant Screw Caps

These caps follow a push-and-twist safety design: you have to push down hard while twisting counterclockwise to unscrew it. 

Kids can’t open it by just twisting or pulling, thanks to its built-in structural safeguards. 

Made from food-safe PP and PE plastic, the cap won’t contaminate the CBD contents it seals. Adults can open and close it using single hand and no need to use extra tools.
