Pillow bags
  • Standard figure: the most commonly used

  • Creases seldom appears on sealed parts
Gusset pillow bags
  • Gussets are on both left and right sides
  • Spacious as the gussets expand the volume
  • Stand-on package can be made if the content is heavy and stable
  • Can be displayed a lot in limited store shelves if the bag shape is vertically long
3-Side Seal bags
  • The top and bottom and either vertical sides are sealed (Sealing does not come in the center)
  • Easy to tear off horizontally (A notch is needed to open without using scissors)
