One wrapper.
Every bar different.
Every custom printed wrapper below is the same construction: one film, sealed down the back and crimped at both ends. The film, the finish and the artwork are yours. Nothing here is a stock design.

Richard C.Google reviewWhat a wrapper does that
a bag and a sticker cannot
Six things a printed flow wrap does for your bar, your cookie, your stick or your cards.
Cut close to the product
No loose bag and no air around it. The wrapper is sized to one piece, so it sits flat in a box, a lunch bag or a tray by the till.
Sealed down the back, crimped at both ends
One film wrapped into a tube, with a fin seal down the back and a crimped seal at each end. It tears open in one go.
Every flavor gets its own wrapper
Each design starts at 100, so a three-flavor range is three runs of 100, each printed edge to edge in its own colors.
Slim enough for a stick
The same wrapper fits a meat stick, a protein bar or a full chocolate bar. Your product sets the width and the length, not a stock list.
Your bar on the front
Print a photo of the bar itself on the wrapper. Custom granola bar wrappers keep the barrier film all the way round, and the shopper still sees exactly what is inside.
Card wrappers, cut flat
The same fin seal and crimped ends, sized flat and thin around a stack of trading cards or any other flat piece. Each pack tears open across the crimped end.
Size the wrapper
to the bar
Custom wrappers are cut close, so a few millimetres decide whether the bar slides in or splits the seal. Pouch.me works the size out from your product before you pay anything.
- Width: the bar plus its thicknessThe film wraps over the top and the bottom of the bar, so the wrapper needs the bar’s width plus its thickness, plus about 10 mm (3/8″) so it slides in.
- Length: room for both crimpsThe bar’s length, its thickness again, a 15 mm crimp at each end and the same 10 mm of clearance.
- Send one piece, or its numbersWidth, length and thickness of one bar or cookie is all we need. For a stack of cookies in one wrapper, give the count too.
Send the product and its size. We size the wrapper, draw the dieline and price it before you commit to anything.

The look you want
A wrapper is one film all the way round, so the front and the back are always the same material. Pick the look your chocolate bar packaging or snack bar packaging needs, and Pouch.me pairs it with the barrier inside.
Matte/GlossFoilMetalized or true aluminum inside, the usual pick for chocolate and protein bars because it keeps out light and moisture. Matte or gloss outside.
Matte/GlossClearShow the cookie or the bar. Clear film keeps moisture out for a short shelf life, with a clear high barrier film when it has to keep longer.
HolographicColor shifts as the wrapper is tilted. The film is metalized, so the barrier is built in and it blocks light.
White kraftThe same paper on a lighter ground, so printed color stays true. The same liners as brown kraft.
Brown kraftPaper outside with a metalized layer inside for freshness. With a window, the liner is a clear high barrier film. Also available as compostable PBAT.Shelf life is decided by the film,
not the wrapper
Underneath the print sits the barrier, and that layer decides how long your bar stays fresh. Tell us how long it has to last on the shelf and Pouch.me specifies the film around that.
Choosing the film for your bar
- Chocolate. Light, warmth and moisture dull it fastest, so custom chocolate bar wrappers usually run on metalized film or true aluminum foil.
- Protein, granola and energy bars. Oils and nuts go stale with air and damp. Metalized film is our usual spec, with foil when the bar has to keep for a long time.
- Cookies. When the cookie sells fresh, individual cookie wrappers can run in clear film to show the bake. A clear high barrier film keeps it longer without hiding it.
- Kraft. Paper outside with a metalized layer inside for freshness. With a window, the liner is a clear high barrier film. Kraft also runs as a compostable PBAT structure.
Two things worth knowing before you specify
A window lets light and some air through that area, so leave it off chocolate and anything that has to keep for months. And a wrapper is one web of film, so you cannot run kraft on the front and foil on the back the way a flat pouch can.
FDA compliant films. We supply SGS test reports for the materials. The ink is printed inside the laminate, between the layers, so it never touches your product.
The details customers
actually notice
How it opens, how it hangs and what shows through. A wrapper takes no zipper, so it is opened once and finished.
Tell us what you are wrapping
The bar or the cookie, its size, and your artwork if you have it. You get a specification, a dieline and a price back. Price and proof before anything is charged.

Design, prepress and proofing are free. We check every file before it prints, for things like type too close to a seal or a barcode on a curve, and send you a proof. Nothing goes on press until you approve it.
We print the front and the back of every wrapper, edge to edge, and lay out your barcode and ingredients panel around the fin seal.
How an order actually runs
Four steps from first message to wrappers on your bench. Price and proof before anything is charged.
Tell us what you are wrapping
The product, the size of one piece, and roughly what you want it to look like. A logo is enough to start.
You get a spec and a price
Size, film, opening and features, with a dieline showing the fin seal, the crimped ends and the bleed. Nothing to pay yet.
We design and prepress it
Once the spec is confirmed, the Pouch.me design team builds your artwork or adapts what you have, then checks it will print as you expect.
You approve, we print and ship
Nothing goes on press until you sign off the proof. Design, prepress and shipping to the US cost nothing.
How your custom wrappers get printed
Pouch.me prints custom wrappers on two kinds of press. Both print edge to edge, front and back, with the ink inside the laminate. No white border and no label stuck on afterwards.
Digital printing: short runs and lots of flavors
No plates, so a new flavor or a change to the artwork is cheap. Digital suits a launch, a seasonal bar or a range of personalized candy wrappers, with each design from 100.
Gravure printing: volume and exact color
Engraved cylinders take tooling to make first, and they pay it back over larger runs and reorders. Gravure gives exact Pantone matching, metallic inks and spot matte finishes. The minimum depends on the wrapper size, and we quote it per job.
Made-up wrappers, or film on a roll
Made-up wrappers arrive with the back seal and one end already sealed. Slide the bar in and close the open end with a heat sealer. If you run your own flow wrap machine, we print the same film on a roll for it, from 100 wrappers’ worth, and the barrier is the same either way.
What we need from your artwork
Vector files are ideal. We send back a dieline with the fin seal, the crimped ends and the bleed marked, so you can see exactly what ends up on the face of the wrapper. If you only have a logo, our designers build the rest.
Minimums, and what moves the price
Custom candy bar wrappers, customized candy wrappers, cookie wrappers and every other wrapper from Pouch.me start at 100 per design, and each design can run a different quantity above that. Minimums are set by construction: wrappers, pillow, flat and stand-up bags start at 100, and side gusset, quad seal and flat bottom bags start at 500.
The five things that change your quote
- Quantity. The biggest lever. Film and setup spread across the run, so the price per wrapper drops as the run grows. Your quote comes back priced at several quantities, so you can see it.
- Size. You are buying film by area. A longer or wider wrapper uses more of it.
- Material. Foil is the most expensive barrier, metalized gets close for less, and clear sits below both.
- Press. Digital has no plates, so short runs and new flavors are cheap. Gravure adds tooling up front and pays it back on volume, reorders and exact Pantone matching.
- Extras. A window on foil or kraft, spot varnish and metallic inks each add cost.
What is already included
Design, prepress, proofing and shipping to the US are free on every order. No setup charge on digital, no artwork fee and no charge for the dieline. Every order is backed by our 100% Happiness Guarantee.
Which shelf are you aiming for?
Each of these pages carries the wrappers, bags and films we would normally recommend for that product, from candy bar packaging to single cookie wrappers. Need granola bar or protein bar packaging? Start at granola bags.
Sometimes the answer is a different bag
A wrapper suits one piece eaten in one go. Where that is not your product, here is the format to use instead.
A handful of chips or bites, not a snack wrapper for one bar
The same fin seal construction, sized for chips and snack packs.
Several pieces that need to close again
Three seals and room for a zipper, also from 100.
A share bag that stands on the shelf
A bottom gusset, a zipper and three printable panels, also from 100.
Common questions
What is a wrapper, and is it the same as a flow wrap or a pillow pouch?
Same construction, cut for a different job. A wrapper is one film wrapped into a tube around your product, with a fin seal down the back and a crimped seal at each end. Flow wrap is the name for the machine that makes it on a packing line. A wrapper is sized close around one bar, one cookie or one stick. For chips and snack packs that hold a handful, see our pillow pouches.
What is the minimum order for custom wrappers?
One hundred per design. A four-flavor range is four designs, and each design can run a different quantity above 100. Wrappers, pillow pouches, flat pouches and stand-up pouches all start at 100. Side gusset, quad seal and flat bottom bags start at 500. Gravure, for long runs and exact Pantone color, has a higher minimum that depends on the wrapper size, and we quote it per job.
How do I size a wrapper for my bar?
Measure one piece: width, length and thickness. The wrapper’s width is the bar’s width plus its thickness, plus about 10 mm so it slides in. Its length is the bar’s length plus its thickness, a 15 mm crimp at each end and the same 10 mm. Send us the numbers, or a sample, and we draw the dieline to fit before you pay anything.
Can a wrapper have a zipper?
No. A wrapper is a single tube of film with no side seams to hold a zipper track, so it is opened once and finished. That suits a bar or a cookie eaten in one go. If your product needs to close again, a flat pouch or a stand-up pouch takes a zipper, and both also start at 100 per design.
Which film should I use for chocolate, protein bars and cookies?
Custom chocolate wrappers and protein bar wrappers usually run on metalized film or true aluminum foil, because light, air and moisture are what spoil chocolate and bars. A cookie sold fresh can go in clear film to show the bake, and a clear high barrier film keeps it longer. Kraft runs with a metalized layer inside. Tell us how long the product has to last and we specify the film around that.
Can I have a window in my wrapper?
Yes. On a short digital run, clear film is the easy way: the window is simply an area left unprinted, in any shape your artwork allows, at no extra cost. Foil and kraft wrappers take a window too, though the price per wrapper usually runs higher, and larger gravure runs are the most flexible. A window lets light and some air through that area, so leave it off chocolate and anything that has to keep for months.
Do the wrappers come made up, or on a roll?
Either. Made-up wrappers arrive with the back seal and one end already sealed. You slide the bar in and close the open end with a heat sealer. If you run a flow wrap machine, we print the same film on a roll for it, from 100 wrappers’ worth, and the barrier is the same either way.
Is the film food safe?
Yes. Our films are FDA compliant, and we can supply SGS test reports for the materials. The layer that touches your product is a food-grade sealant, and the ink is printed inside the laminate, between the layers, so it never touches the food and cannot scuff off the outside.
Can you make wrappers for trading cards or other flat products?
Yes. A card wrapper is the same construction cut flat and thin: one film sealed down the back and crimped at both ends, sized to a stack of trading cards or any other flat, solid piece. Send us the width, length and thickness of one stack and we draw the dieline to fit. The minimum is the same 100 per design.
Tell us what you are wrapping
Send the product, the size of one piece and roughly what you want it to look like. Pouch.me comes back with a recommended specification, a dieline and a price.
