Pillow Pouches

Have you ever noticed the rigid circular button-like object at the center of certain pouches and flexible bags? It’s called a one-way degassing valve, often used on fermented food and coffee packaging. Typically made out of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), the degassing valve’s purpose is to periodically allow gas to exit out from the inside of the package when the internal pressure exceeds a certain (small) value. As the name implies, air cannot flow from the outside inwards (because it’s a “one way” valve), resulting in an airtight seal to keep the internal contents fresh.

 

FEATURES & BENEFITS:

  • Re-sealable or single use
  • Top and bottom seal
  • Back fin seal
  • More product, less material
     

     

    Despite their simple, flat design, our pillow pouches are an incredibly effective solution for the storage and transportation of products such as chips, candy, beauty products, household chemicals and more. Toucan Packaging pillow pouches can be custom-made for both resealable and single-use packaging purposes – whatever best suits your product and brand.

    The pouch features seals on the top and bottom of the bag, including a back fin seal for added support. This traditional pouch is perhaps the best representation of our “more product, less material” approach to flexible packaging.

    But just because the pillow pouch is one of our more traditional packaging options doesn’t mean it lacks the same customizable features we offer with other products. We provide a variety of unique choices that are available upon request including press-to-close zippers, valves, spouts and fitments, and more. We do our best to make sure your packaging is constructed to support your required specifications.
