Selecting the correct stand-up pouch size isn’t just about “will it fit?”—it affects shelf appeal, sealing reliability, freight efficiency, and perceived value. At AGK MORE, pouch “capacity” labels (e.g., 150 g, 250 g, 1 kg) are based on roasted coffee beans; actual fill-weights for other products vary with density and shape.
How AGK MORE sizes are labelled
AGK MORE stocks multiple capacities across styles (clear, foil-lined, kraft + PET window, box-bottom coffee bags), including 150 g, 200 g, 250 g, 400 g, 500 g and 1 kg. Product pages note the coffee-based naming and the need to verify fit for other goods. (AGK MORE)
Dimensions (selected SKUs)
Use these as a quick reference; dimensions can vary slightly by construction/finish.
Label (coffee basis) | Approx. dimensions (W × H + gusset) |
---|---|
150 g | 130 mm × 210 mm + 80 mm |
250 g | 160 mm × 230 mm + 90 mm |
500 g | 190 mm × 275 mm + 100 mm |
1 kg | 240 mm × 335 mm + 120 mm |
(AGK MORE also lists 70 g and 100 g options; this guide focuses on 150 g–1 kg.)
Fill-weight mapping by category
Rule of thumb:
Coffee beans → match the pouch label to your net weight (e.g., 250 g beans ≈ 250 g pouch), leaving a little headspace for a clean heat seal.
Nuts (denser, compact shapes) → often achieve higher net weight in the same pouch; many SKUs can step one size down vs coffee for the same label weight.
Snacks (light, aerated, irregular) → typically require one size up to accommodate trapped air and fragile shapes.
Because density and geometry vary (almonds vs. cashews; chips vs. jerky), always test on your actual product before committing to bulk packaging.
Quick selection guidance (practical starting points)
-
Coffee (beans/whole roast):
150 g → 150 g pouch | 250 g → 250 g pouch | 500 g → 500 g pouch | 1 kg → 1 kg pouch. -
Nuts (almonds, cashews, mixed):
Start with one label size smaller than coffee for the same target weight (e.g., 200 g nuts: trial 150 g or 200 g pouch). Confirm by test-fills. -
Snacks (chips, crisps, granola clusters):
Start with one label size larger (e.g., 200 g light snacks: trial 250 g pouch) to allow for air and shape protection.
Tip: AGK MORE’s product pages clearly state that capacities are based on roasted coffee weight and will vary for other products—use that as your baseline, then validate with samples.
When to choose specific constructions
-
Foil-lined stand-up pouches (zip, tear notch): best for oxygen/moisture barrier and premium look; offered in 70 g–1 kg with a consistent size ladder.
-
All-clear zipper pouches: strong shelf visibility for snacks/dried goods.
-
Kraft + PET window pouches: natural aesthetic + product visibility; popular at 150 g–400 g snack formats.
-
Coffee box-bottom bags with valve (500 g–1 kg): maximum stability, professional coffee presentation and degassing.
Test-and-verify workflow (5 steps)
-
Shortlist the pouch by target weight and construction (foil, clear, kraft-window). Use the size ladder above as your starting point.
-
Run test-fills with your real product to check net weight, headspace (8–15 mm above zipper is a useful target), and shelf presence.
-
Heat-seal trials using a 300 mm impulse sealer; tune heat/dwell/pressure for clean, repeatable seals.
-
Integrity checks: light squeeze/peel checks; if carrying oils (nuts), confirm the seal area is clean and consistent.
-
QA sample retain: keep a sealed retain for transit and time-on-shelf observations before scaling up.
Frequently asked questions
Are the gram labels exact for all products?
No. They are defined by roasted coffee beans. Other products can weigh more or less in the same pouch depending on density/shape. Always verify with test-fills.
Where can I find the actual dimensions for each size?
Key dimensions for 150 g–1 kg foil-lined pouches are published on product pages (e.g., 150 g: 130 × 210 + 80 mm; 1 kg: 240 × 335 + 120 mm). Check the specific SKU you intend to buy.
Do I need a heat sealer?
Yes. For a retail-ready, tamper-evident finish, use an impulse heat sealer (AGK MORE offers a 300 mm model suited to these pouches).
