When it comes to launching a product that demands flexibility, durability, and visual appeal, custom pouches are often the top choice. But designing a pouch isn’t as simple as choosing a shape and hitting print. Whether you’re a brand-new startup or an established business scaling your line, developing a pouch with Custom Pak Illinois (CPI) means tapping into years of experience as a contract packager with a deep understanding of both form and function.

Before you start, here’s what you need to know about pouch design—and how CPI helps every step of the way.

Start with the Product

The type of product you’re packaging will heavily dictate pouch requirements. Whether you’re dealing with liquids, semi-liquids, powders, or flammable substances, CPI’s pouch filling service is engineered to accommodate a wide variety of applications. Products like personal care items, industrial lubricants, and household cleaners each require specific material characteristics—such as chemical resistance, seal integrity, and tamper-evidence—that CPI’s contract pouch filling systems are built to handle.

Consider the Size and Shape

Pouch size isn’t just about how much product it holds—it’s about how it functions in real life. Small pouches offer portability and single-use convenience, while larger ones might serve industrial or refill purposes. CPI supports a wide range of formats through its contract packaging service, enabling clients to align pouch dimensions with consumer needs and shelf presence. From single-serve sachets to bulk-fill industrial pouches, Custom Pak ensures your product fits the purpose.

Don’t Skip Material Selection

Choosing the right materials is critical. Whether you need barrier protection from oxygen, UV light, or moisture, CPI offers quality packaging solutions that enhance product shelf life and performance. Their flexible options provide excellent durability and puncture resistance, reducing risk during transport. As a packaging services company with expertise in chemicals and specialty products, CPI helps you match your material to the specific challenges of your formula.
