A shopper often reads flavor, texture, and value from the bag before seeing a single piece. Custom candy bags need barrier and seal planning for moisture-sensitive gummies, sugar-dusted sour candy, hard-candy edges, and oily or waxed surfaces, while keeping flavor, count, ingredients, and seasonal artwork easy to scan.

Protect Texture, Show Flavor
Most launches can use a Stand Up Pouch for a flexible retail path, while Flat Bottom Pouch suits larger assortments or lines that need a broader face and squarer shelf block. Dylign lets you compare specifications, review artwork in 3D, see the primary pouch's landed unit price, and order a production sample before bulk, with film structure, food-contact suitability, seal behavior, and filled appearance confirmed during setup.

Material Guide
Classic
OPP 1.6 milMETPET 0.5 milPE 2.8 mil
A durable, highly printable structure in matte, gloss, or soft touch. Strong oxygen, light, and aroma barrier for everyday products.
Recyclable
PE 2.0 milEVOH PE 1.6 milPE 1.6 mil
A mono-PE structure that stays compatible with PE recycling streams. The EVOH layer provides strong oxygen and aroma protection without giving up recyclability.
Compostable
Kraft Paper 70gsmPLA 2.0 mil
For brands going fully circular. Shorter shelf-life window than Classic or Recyclable, best for dry goods, lighter protection needs, and faster turnover.
Choose the Right Barrier Material for Stand-up Pouches
Choose the right barrier material for your custom stand-up pouches based on product sensitivity, target shelf life, and protection needs. Classic and High Barrier pouch structures provide different levels of protection against oxygen, moisture, light, and aroma, while Recyclable and Compostable materials support different end-of-life goals. Selected pouch structures are also available with PCR-content PE layers to help reduce virgin-plastic use.
Which Material Is Right for You
Not sure where to start? Think about what matters most for your product: protection, sustainability, or cost. The table below compares all four options.
PCR (post-consumer recycled) plastic is made from used consumer packaging, making it a more sustainable choice than virgin plastic.

Routine retail waits balance barrier and value, but the multi-layer construction is not recyclable.

Got questions? We've got answers.
How do I choose between a Stand Up Pouch and a Flat Bottom Pouch for candy?
A Stand Up Pouch is the primary path for flexible retail packs, refills, samples, and new candy launches. A Flat Bottom Pouch can give larger assortments a wider face and squarer shelf block. We will still confirm the final format against your actual candy, fill, and merchandising plan.
Can I customize candy bag size around fill weight and piece count?
You can select a standard size or move into our designer for a custom setup. Gummies, wrapped pieces, hard candy, and mixed assortments settle differently, so confirm the actual packed footprint, seal clearance, and filled appearance with us before bulk production.
Which pouch materials and finishes can I compare?
Our pouch flow includes Compostable, Recyclable, Classic Standard, and Classic High Barrier material directions, plus Matte, Gloss, and Soft Touch Film finishes. The right choice depends on the candy surface, barrier need, selling market, and pack-out, so food-contact suitability and local recovery access must be confirmed for the exact structure.
What is the minimum order quantity for custom candy bags?
We support ordering from 100 units per specification. One specification means one size, material, and design combination, so separate variants may each need their own minimum.
Can I order a production sample before bulk production?
You can order a production sample before bulk. Use it to check size, material feel, print, opening and closure behavior, seal area, and filled appearance before you approve the full run.
How do I see the 3D preview and landed price?
Select the primary Stand Up Pouch in our product-page designer, apply your artwork, and choose the specifications, quantity, and shipping method. The 3D preview lets you review the package, while the landed price updates from the selected setup before you order.
