// What It Is

Five panels, one square base

The box bottom bag — also called a block bottom bag — is a quad-style bag with an independently welded, completely square bottom. That flat base makes it stand straighter than almost any other bag and adds a fifth panel underneath for extra branding.

Front, back, two side gussets and a square bottom give you five faces for a logo, graphics and product information — room to tell the whole story, including recyclable or compostable credentials. It’s a favourite for coffee, but works just as well for tea, granola and other premium dry goods.

// Why Roasters Pick It

The all-rounder with a premium feel

Built from durable barrier film with four sealed corners and side gussets, the box bottom bag combines stability, protection and standout looks in one pack.

01

Stands sharp and stable

The flat, welded square base holds the bag upright and makes it hard to knock over — a clean, premium silhouette on the shelf.

02

Five faces to brand

Front, back, two sides and the base give you more printable area than a side gusset or quad seal bag.

03

Tough barrier film

Durable, high-resistance film protects against pressure, moisture and humidity, so the product arrives in top condition.

04

Efficient on the shelf

The square footprint uses less shelf width than a similarly sized stand up pouch and stacks neatly for transport.

// Options & Add-Ons

Configure it to your product

Start with a stock bag or spec a custom run — these are the features roasters and food brands ask for most.

Rip-zip or standard zip

Add a front-mounted zip or an innovative rip-zip for easy opening and air-tight resealing, keeping the product fresh after opening.

One-way degassing valve

Releases CO₂ from freshly roasted beans without letting oxygen in — extending freshness for coffee bagged soon after roasting.

Tin ties

A fold-over tin tie gives a simple, tactile reclose and a classic artisan look on kraft bags.

Slit & info card

A small pocket under the barrier layer holds a removable card — tasting notes, a story, or a promotion for your other products.

Finish options

Natural kraft, white kraft, matte black and matte white, with shiny PET and matte MOPP structures — matched to your brand look.

Sizes from 100g to 1kg

Sized by coffee weight — 100g, 250g, 500g and 1kg. 250g is the most popular UK retail size; whole beans need a little more room than ground.

// Materials & Eco Options

Print or pack, without the end-of-life compromise.

These bags can be made in recyclable mono-PE, PCR film with a post-consumer recycled core, or home & industrial compostable film — alongside the kraft and high-barrier structures that give the longest shelf life. Material choices are aligned with the incoming EU packaging rules (PPWR).

Box bottom bags, answered

A box bottom bag — also called a block bottom bag — is a quad-style bag with an independently welded, completely square base. The flat bottom makes it stand upright and adds a fifth printable panel, giving front, back, two sides and a base for branding.

Both stand on their own, but a box bottom bag has a rigid square base and five flat panels for a sharper, more premium look, using less shelf width than a similar stand up pouch. A stand up pouch uses less material and energy to make, so it’s usually the more affordable, lower-footprint option.

Sizes run from 100g to 1kg, sized by coffee weight, with 250g the most popular UK retail size. Finishes include natural kraft, white kraft, matte black and matte white, plus shiny PET and matte MOPP structures.

Yes. Box bottom bags can take a front zip or rip-zip for resealing, a one-way degassing valve for freshly roasted coffee, tin ties, tear notches and a slit pocket for a removable info card.

Yes. They can be made in recyclable mono-material PE, PCR film with a post-consumer recycled core, or home and industrial compostable film, as well as kraft and high-barrier structures. Recyclable, compostable and PCR options are aligned with the incoming EU packaging rules (PPWR) — see our materials comparison.
