Gusset Bags- The Definitive FAQ Guide

What are the gusset bags?

Gusset bags are packaging bags that are commonly used for food packaging, storing hardware items, soil, crafts, etc. Some of the gusseted bags stand upright, while the other varieties do an excellent job releasing scents and avoiding the spoilage of the content.

There are so many kinds of gusset bags available, and each type manufactured by Intercon Pack is certain to provide you with wholesale packaging for your business at an affordable price.

These bags are capable of storing bulk items (such as- beads, candies, nuts, pebbles, marbles, etc.) and bulky items (such as- gift bag items, bread, produce, baked items, etc.). Gusset bags have the capacity to be expanded—gussets are materials that increase the volume capacity of a bag.

Food Items Stored in Gusset Bags

What is a side gusset bag?

Side gusset bags are both sides of a bag expanded from a fold after the bag is filled with items.

The bottom of the bag is sealed using the heat-seal technique while the top is left open for filling of the bag.

Side gusset bags allow for more options for shelf display to buyers.

This format for packaging has two long faces, or panels, on the front and the back for product branding.

Side gusset bags are the recognized format for the packaging of coffee today.

Also, they are widely used in packaging pet food, teas, powder goods, and all other specialty food items.

How to measure side gusset bags

What is a bottom gusset bag?

As opposed to lying flat, bottom gusset bags stand upright and are inclined to be handier in terms of size and shape.

Basically, not all bottom gusset bags need to be shaped like a box; but the overall size of bottom gusset bags is often bigger than the size of side gusset bags; even if the number of items in them is the same.

If you want to go for a box pouch styled bag, you’ll have just four sides to advertise your product.

More often than not, bottom gusset bags are used for packaging confectioneries, coffee and pet food packaging.

Side Gusset vs. Bottom Gusset Bag: what are the differences?

Stand up pouch bags with gussets are not a uniform entity.

They are divided into two primary categories.

1. Side gusset bag
2. Bottom gusset bags

Both types of gusset bags have some unique features which include:

Gusset Location in a Bag

This is the most noticeable difference between these two bags. Just as the name implies; bottom gusset is found at the bottom of the bag, while side gussets are situated along the sides of the bag.

Storage Efficiency

Storage efficiency refers to hoe a filled gusset bag can efficiently fit inside a refrigerator.

Results from previous tests show that side gusset bags occupy less room than its counterpart.

Aesthetics

Subjective opinions have shown that people prefer bottom gussets when it comes to aesthetics.

Sealing

Side gusset bags have just one seal that extends across the entire width of the bag and runs through the bottom.

Bottom gussets are divided into plow bottom, K-seal, and round bottom gussets.

The plow bottom gussets don’t have a seal; however, k-seal and round bottom gussets have seals along their walls.

Volume

Two bags containing both gusset types of the same size do not have similar volume.

A pouch with a four-inch bottom gusset will have lesser volume than a pouch with a four-inch side gusset.

Then again, a bottom gusset bag will be larger than a side gusset bag of similar volume.

• Are Gusset Bags Puncture Resistant

Producers of heavy products don’t have to worry that flexible packaging won’t be effective enough to support the weight of their product.

The type of gusseted bag you’ll use depends on the type of product you want to keep in it- that’s how to judge the effectiveness of such a bag.

The weight of the items will support the bag, resulting in a symbiotic relationship.

Then the flexible packaging keeps everything locked in tight and will be resistant to puncture, tear or breakage.

Why is foil gusset bag a good option?

The foil gusset bags are made of a high amount of aluminum foil and a low amount of clear poly; hence the name foil gusset bag.

They have the highest barrier level of protection against moisture, UV light, and oxygen.

Foil gusset bag is available in different colors such as black, gold, red, black, bronze, white, silver, matte white, matte black and so on.

How Can You Differentiate a Quad-Seal Gusset Bag and a K-Seal Gusset Bag?

Quad Seal gusset bags usually have all four corners sealed along the full length of the bag.

The difference from pillow bags is that quad seal pouches provide an uninterrupted printing area to both the front and back of the bag; thereby giving the bag a unique look.

These bags are commonly made of multi-layers moisture barrier films.

With K-seal bottom, the bag will square-off the bottom when filled.

It is perfect for grains, rice, pet food packaging, etc.

Seals from both sides of a k-seal bag rise from the bag; thereby, taking the stress off the seals on both sides of the package.

How are the dimensions of a gusseted standup bag measured?

It is quite easy to measure up the dimensions of bottom gusseted bags.

A gusseted bag has four essential measurements –Length, width, thickness, and gusset (bottom or side).

Measuring the length and width: 

All you need to do is flatten an empty pouch and measure its length and width with a scale.

Measuring the bottom gusset:
To measure the dimensions of a gusset, you’ll need to open it up and place it on a flat surface.

Then you measure the depth with a calibrated scale.

Measuring the thickness:
A micrometer screw gauge can be used to measure the thickness.

Usually, stand up pouches for food packaging have a thickness of 2 mm or less.

How Are Gusset Bags Sealed?

Sealing the gusset bags is done using heat sealing to prepare it for packaging and transfer them to the warehouse to be stored properly.

Although, there are different varieties of sealing machines that can be used; but from our experience as professionals in the industry, due to the presence of gussets on the pouch, a typical hand impulse sealer can’t effectively seal gusset bags.

Some sealers that can be used include:

Double Impulse Sealer: this uses two heating wire which is located at the top and below so as to properly seal through your gusset bag.

Direct Heat Sealers: these are the best option for sealing thicker gusset bag materials like coated aluminum, mylar, kraft paper, etc.

A thermostat has been equipped in the sealer to help regulate the temperature accurately.

Gusset bag heat sealer

Foot/ Table Top Direct Sealers: these types make use of a thermostat or an electronic temperature controller to help control the heat emitted for a different type of gusset bags.

Vacuum Sealers: This this done by removing the air around your product and then sealing the product using a vacuum. This method of sealing protects your products from spoilage, oxidation, and corrosion.

This can be used to seal a gusset bag that is meant for food, medical supplies packaging medical supplies and so on.
