Pillow Pouches and Sachets
This is a layflat form of flexible packaging heat-sealed on either two or three sides without a gusset. We can produce these in a range of materials and sizes suitable for food and non-food products. Pillow pouches and sachets offer a sleek, fuss-free solution for flexible packaging – lightweight, space-saving, and fully customisable. Whether you’re packing snacks, pet care or skincare, this three-side-seal style is a true multitasker.

But what’s the difference between a pillow pouch and a sachet? It’s all in the closure.
Sachets (Three-Side Seal, No Zip)
Sachets are the simplest form of this style – sealed on all three sides, with no zip. Perfect for single-use or sample products like:
- Energy gels
- Coffee, sugar, or spice sachets
- Skincare testers
No zip means no resealing, so they’re ideal for one-and-done product
Pillow Pouches (Three-Side Seal With Zip)
Our pillow pouches are also sealed on three sides, but come with a handy zip – making them perfect for:
- Protein powders
- Pet treats
- Cosmetics
They’re great for keeping contents fresher for longer, and the zip adds convenience for customers who’ll dip in and out.
