Functional Features: Making Packaging Work for You
Closing Options: Keep Your Products Fresh and Secure
When it comes to keeping your products fresh and secure, closing options are crucial. Our most popular choice is the press-to-seal, commonly known as a zip lock. This closure is a favourite for its ease of use and versatility, compatible with any material, making it ideal for recyclable pouches. It is simple, reliable and perfect for keeping products fresh.
For those seeking something special, we offer a variety of closing styles, including:
- Velcro: Perfect for powdered products like protein or flour. Velcro prevents clogging and provides a smooth seal.
- Child Safety: For those products that need a little extra security, our child resistant closures ensure safety for families.
- Compostable and Recyclable Options: Eco-friendly choices for the environmentally conscious.
- Multi-Close: Combines the benefits of velcro and standard closures for added security.
Velcro and zip locks, aren’t just functional – they enhance the customer experience by making the product easier to access and reseal.

Innovative Additions: Clear Windows and Hanging Solutions
When it comes to combining practicality with thoughtful design, features like clear windows and hanging solutions ensure your packaging is both functional and eye-catching.
Clear Windows:
Sometimes, the best way to showcase your product is to let customers see it! Clear windows serve both design and practical purposes by giving a sneak peek of what’s inside, helping customers feel more confident about their purchase. It’s a simple yet effective way to highlight your product’s quality.
Hanging Solutions:
Offer practical ways to display products, making them easy to access and visually appealing on retail shelves. Euro slots (also known as sombrero holes) are ideal for sleek, professional retail displays and hang holes are a basic solution for simple hanging needs.
Rounded Corners and Spot Varnish: Premium Quality Features
Designed for both durability and elegance, these features prevent wear-and-tear while adding a polished, premium touch to your packaging.
Rounded Corners:
Not just a design perk – rounded corners help prevent wear-and-tear and ensure your packaging stays intact. Rounded corners also adds a premium look and feel to the pouch. Plus, they make handling the pouch more comfortable.
Spot Varnish and Foiling: Make Your Packaging Shine
To add a touch of elegance, consider spot varnish and cold foiling. These techniques highlight specific areas of your packaging, making your product pop. This technique not only catches the eye but also gives your packaging a premium, polished look.
Shaped Pouches: Truly Unique
Most companies stick to traditional pouch shapes, but at BakPac, we can go beyond that. With our unique equipment, we can create custom-shaped pouches that reflect your brand’s personality. Shaped packaging adds instant visual appeal and sets your product apart in a crowded market.
Lamination: Matt, Gloss and Beyond
Lamination not only protects but also enhances the visual appeal of packaging. Are you going for sleek and sophisticated? Matt might be the way to go. Want something that jumps off the shelf? Gloss will add that extra shine. While matt and gloss finishes are more practical. Our soft-touch laminations don’t just feel luxurious; they also provide extra grip, making your pouch easier to handle. We offer special laminations like:
- Soft Touch

These options are perfect for brands looking to make a statement.
