Designing a shape that works
Great shaped pouches start with manufacturing reality: seal areas need adequate width, inside curves need minimum radii, and fill openings need clearance for your filling method. Send us your concept and we'll engineer a die line that keeps the personality while sealing strong and filling clean — then prototype it before you commit.
