Your supplements, coffee or pet food may be top quality – but if the packaging doesn’t stand firmly, you’ll lose impact on the shelf. A packaging solution that solves this problem and is becoming increasingly popular? Block bottom bags! Rob Engelman explains what this packaging format can do for your brand.
Convenient for kitchen counters or cupboards.
Your product always stands upright on the shelf.
Fully recyclable through standard plastic recycling streams, made from a single material.
Block bottom bags are pouches with a flat, rectangular base that allows them to stand firmly upright. “Ideal for products with a bit more volume, such as coffee or supplements – even when they’re high in fat or moisture-sensitive”, explains Rob Engelman. “Because the bag stands neatly, your product looks professional both on the shelf and in product photos for your webshop. That stable presentation makes block bottom bags not only commercially attractive but also highly practical. Consumers appreciate the convenience of packaging they can easily place on a kitchen counter or in a pantry.”
Rob points out that the flat front, back, and side panels of block bottom bags provide plenty of space for striking designs and clear branding. “You can print these bags with a logo, slogan or other visual elements that strengthen your brand identity. This turns the packaging into a powerful marketing tool – one that catches the consumer’s attention and helps build brand recognition.”
Beyond the visual and practical benefits, block bottom bags also deliver strong sustainability advantages. Research by Pro Carton shows that consumers consider ‘easy to recycle’ the most important packaging feature, followed by resealability and the use of renewable materials. More than half actively consider the environmental impact of packaging in their purchase decisions – and expect clear recycling information and sustainable choices. “Block bottom bags fit that expectation perfectly”, says Rob. “They’re made from monomaterial PP or PE – meaning they consist of a single material, making them easy to recycle. That’s a benefit you can communicate clearly through your design. And because empty bags can be folded flat, they save space during transport and storage – directly reducing CO₂ emissions.”
In short: block bottom bags combine visibility, convenience, and sustainability in one packaging solution. They ensure your product always looks professional on the (online) shelf – and meet the growing expectations of today’s consumers. It’s time to give your brand a solid foundation on the shelf!
