Doy pack Solutions Guide

What is a doy pack?

A doy pack (also spelled doy-pack or doy pouch) is a type of flexible, stand-up pouch used for packaging liquids, semi-liquids, powders, and small solids.

Here are the key characteristics:

It’s a pouch with a flat bottom or gusset that allows it to stand upright on shelves (hence “stand-up pouch”). The typical silhouette is a wider base that tapers toward the top.

Made from multilayer laminated films (plastic, foil, sometimes with a paper layer) that provide strength, barrier protection (against moisture, oxygen, light) and often printable surfaces for branding.

Can include heat seals, resealable zippers, spouts with screw caps, tear notches, or zip locks for repeated use.

Common for food (juices, sauces, baby food, pet food, snacks), beverages, detergents, personal care products, and some industrial products.

Lightweight, space-efficient in shipping, good shelf presence (stands upright), customizable printing, resealable options, and typically lower material cost compared with rigid containers.

Not always recyclable depending on laminate composition; limited protection against puncture compared with rigid containers; sealing/processing requires appropriate equipment.

Two common problems new customers encounter

1. Why is it so difficult to get a timely quote—or any response at all—from doy pack manufacturers or suppliers when requesting a small quantity of customized printed pouches or plain doy pack?

2. Which doy pack packaging machines should be purchased?

Why do these two problems occur?

1. doy pack suppliers are typically manufacturers that produce customized bags in large batches and have relatively high MOQs. If you only need a small order, they won’t be interested and won’t stock unprinted pouches in fixed sizes for you to choose from.

2. When you begin to enter this field, you can only see some sample bags in supermarkets or elsewhere and have no idea what packaging machines your competitors use to pack those doy pack.

How to solve these problems?

1.1 If you are a small-scale manufacturer or wholesaler looking for a small quantity of unprinted doy pack

it’s most appropriate to find stand-up pouch wholesalers.

1.2 if you are a small-scale manufacturer or wholesaler looking for a small quantity of customized printed doy pack

find stand-up pouch manufacturers that offer digital printing.

2.1 If your product output is very small and your product range is simple

manual filling and sealing is sufficient.

2.2 if your output is small to medium with a wide variety of products

consider a rotary/ horizontal bag-giving machine.

2.3 if your output is medium to high with a wide variety of products

consider a rotary-horizontal doy pack forming/filling/sealing machine.
