Rachel K.Google reviewMost nuts packaging bags we make are stand-up pouches with a zipper, often with a window. Quote one below, or tell us the nut and we pick.
Let the nuts show. Shoppers see the nuts before they buy, and the bag closes again after every handful. On clear film the window costs nothing extra. On foil or kraft it works on short runs too, though the price per bag usually runs higher. About stand-up pouches
A pound and up, or nuts in the shell. Nuts in the shell take more than twice the room of shelled nuts, so they need a bigger bag. From about a pound, the pouch gets a K-seal bottom, with angled seals at the corners that carry the weight. About stand-up pouches
A solid bag printed edge to edge, with no window. The metallized layer behind the print keeps air and light off the oil, and your design gets the whole front.
Small bags of nuts for lunch boxes, vending and the checkout counter, one handful each. It tears open at the notch. Add a hang hole to sell them from a peg. About flat pouches
A snack bag crimped shut at both ends, for one handful at the checkout, in a vending machine or on a peg with a hang hole. It takes a window on clear film, but never a zipper, so it suits nuts eaten in one go. About pillow pouches
Two flat panels sealed on three sides, with a zipper under the top seal. It packs flat into gift boxes, mailers and sampler sets, for 2 to 4 oz of nuts.
Stands square on the shelf like a box, with five panels to print, for a pound of nuts or more.
Tell us the nut and the weight per bag. Pouch.me works out the size before you pay for a print run.
| Dimension | Range we make | Most orders |
|---|---|---|
| Width | 2.5 to 18 in | 5 to 7 in |
| Height | 3 to 24 in | 8 to 10 in |
| Gusset depth | 1.5 to 8 in | Half the width |
Keep a retail gusset at 2.5 in or more, or the base is too narrow to stand steady once it is handled. Our guide to choosing a pouch size works through it step by step.
Send the nut, shelled or in the shell, and the weight per bag. We size it, draw the dieline and price it before you commit to anything.
Give salted, honey roasted and chili lime their own nut packaging bags, from 100 bags each. Pouch.me runs each design at its own quantity. Your quote shows the cost of every extra design.

We print the front and the back of every bag, edge to edge, so ingredients, your allergen statement and your barcode go where you want them. Printing on the bottom gusset of a stand-up pouch is priced on your quote.
The best bags for nuts keep air and light off the oil. Go matte foil or kraft, add a window, or pick clear, white kraft or holographic.
This is the outside of the bag, the part a shopper sees and touches. Hover or tap a swatch to see it in gloss.
Matte/GlossFoilWhat most people call foil is a metallized film, and it is our standard. Solid aluminum foil is the upgrade for long holds. Matte or gloss outside, with a soft-touch option on matte.
Brown kraftPaper outside with a metallized liner behind it as standard. For a window on a product that needs the barrier, we suggest a clear AlOxPET liner. A compostable kraft (PBAT) is also available.
Matte/GlossClearShows the product. Runs as standard clear, as a moisture film, or as a high-barrier clear film with no metal in it. Clear lets light through, so it suits products that sell quickly.
White kraftThe same paper on a lighter ground, so printed color stays true. Same liner choices as brown kraft.
HolographicColor shifts as the bag tilts. The holographic film is metallized, so the barrier is built in and it blocks light.Packaging for nuts has one main job: keeping air off the oil so it does not go rancid. Foil and kraft carry a metallized layer behind the print, which keeps air and light off your nuts. Salted and spiced nuts can look dusty in a fully clear bag. A window on a printed bag shows them better.
Food contact. The layer against your product is food-grade polyethylene or cast polypropylene. The inks are printed on the inside of the outer film, sealed in the laminate with the barrier layers between them and your product. Our materials are FDA compliant, and we can supply SGS test reports for the materials.

Mainly a barrier against air, because nuts are mostly oil and oil goes rancid when oxygen reaches it. Light speeds up the same reaction on its own, so a nut in a clear bag on a bright shelf has two things working against it. Moisture is the third, since it softens a roasted nut. A metallized film holds out all three, and it is our standard for nuts. Aluminum foil is the step up, kept for a long shelf life with a real risk rather than used by default. Get this right and the last handful in the bag tastes as fresh as the first.
Yes. Seeing the nuts is part of what sells them, so it is worth doing, as long as you choose the trade on purpose. On a short digital run, a clear bag is the easy way to show them, with the window simply left unprinted. A fully clear bag gives up the light block, and if it has to be clear and last, AlOxPET is the clear film that holds out air and moisture. A window on a metallized bag keeps full barrier everywhere except the window itself. On short runs that usually raises the price per bag, and larger gravure runs give you the most freedom on windows and finishes. Whichever you choose, keep the display out of direct sun.
Yes. Behind the paper, our standard kraft bag carries a metallized liner, and that liner does the barrier work. A window needs clear film behind it, so on a kraft nut bag with a window we suggest a clear AlOxPET liner, which still holds out air and moisture across the whole bag, window included. What the window does let through is light, so keep it a modest size and keep the display out of direct sun. Ask for it on your quote and we price it beside a plain kraft bag, so you can weigh the two before anything is printed.
This is where nuts get awkward. Foil will not pass an inline metal detector, because it is solid metal. Metallized film is usually said to be too thin to set one off, but we have seen it stop a customer's line, so we treat it as a risk. That rules out the two films we would normally put nuts in. What passes is AlOxPET, a clear film with a ceramic coating and no metal in it, strong against both air and moisture. You lose the light block, so keep the packs out of direct light. Tell us who fills for you and we will check the film against their line.
Send the weight and the nut, because nuts do not all take the same room. Shelled peanuts pack tight. The same weight of peanuts in the shell needs about two and a half times the space, and pecan or walnut halves need about half as much again as shelled peanuts. That is why our nut quote form asks whether yours are shelled or in the shell. We size the bag to sit properly full on the shelf, not half empty and not straining at the zipper. Our bag sizing tool takes the same details if you want a size before you ask for a quote.
One hundred per design for stand-up pouches, flat pouches and pillow pouches. Flat bottom, quad seal and side gusset bags start at 500 per design. The count is per design rather than per order, so salted, unsalted and honey roasted in the same stand-up pouch are three designs and a 300-bag order. That is what lets you launch a whole flavor range in printed bags from the start, instead of putting a label on a plain bag three different ways.
The layer against your nuts is food-grade polyethylene or cast polypropylene, and the inks are printed on the inside of the laminate, so they never touch the nuts. Our materials are FDA compliant, and we can supply SGS test reports for the materials. Ask for them with the quote. Allergen statements belong to your label and your kitchen, so that wording stays with you, and we print it as part of your artwork. Having the film paperwork ready is what gets a nut brand through a retailer's or co-packer's vendor approval without a round of chasing.
It follows how the nuts get eaten. A stand-up pouch with a zipper suits a share bag that gets opened and closed again and again, and it takes a window and a hang hole. Flat pouches and pillow pouches suit single-serve packs. A pillow pouch can carry a window but never a zipper, because it is wrapped from one sheet of film. Flat bottom bags give a larger bag a box-shaped base and take a standard zipper or a wider e-zipper, from 500 per design. Stand-up, flat and pillow pouches start at 100 per design.
Tell us the nut, whether it is shelled or in the shell, the weight per bag and how many flavors you have. For example: honey roasted pecans and chili lime cashews, 8 oz each, 200 bags of each. You get a size, a spec and a price, and you see a proof before anything is charged.
