Compostable Pouches
Digitally printed compostable paper stand up pouches. These freestanding pouches are made entirely from kraft paper and PLA, making them industrially compostable.
Our compostable stand up pouches are a greener way to display your products on retail shelves. They are made entirely from kraft paper and PLA and they proudly display the words I'M COMPOSTABLE across the top. PLA is a compostable monomer produced from fermented non-GMO corn starch and is biodegradable under industrial composting conditions. They are self-supporting pouches thanks to the round-bottom gusset that enables them to stand freely on retail shelves.
The pouches are printed with your design and then delivered to your door. You can fill them with your product, seal them with a heat sealer, then send them out to your customers or display them on a retail shelf. When the customer receives the pouch they tear off the permanent seal at the top to access the product inside. The pouch is then re-sealable using the grip closure which can be opened and closed hundreds of times.
PLEASE NOTE: If your intended contents are moist sensitive, we would not recommend choosing our compostable pouches. Please consider our normal Pouches if your intended contents are sensitive to moisture, or ask for a sample.
Our compostable pouches have the following benefits:
- Full colour, high resolution digital printing
- No setup or design fees
PLEASE NOTE:
We are printing your artwork onto a pre-manufactured product on an
uneven surface in full colour. This is a very difficult and challenging
print process. We always try very hard to give you the best results, but
there may be some slight imperfections or very slight colour variances.
For best results, please avoid large areas of block colour as this can
give inconsistent print quality. If you're unsure, we suggest that you
order a single printed product before placing your full quantity order.
No refunds will be given for personalised products with slight
imperfections or colour variances.

Technical Information
Printing
We digitally print using a high resolution 4 colour (CMYK) process to
print all logos, text and background colours.
Pantone® Colours
If Pantone® colours are used in your design we will use the CMYK
Pantone® matching system to print your design using CMYK inks. Please
note: There are many Pantone® colours that cannot be accurately matched
using CMYK colours. If you use a Pantone® colour that cannot be matched
it will be converted to the closest CMYK colour available.
