Stand-up pouches are a packaging favourite among Australian SMEs, especially in food, coffee, and pet treats. But buying online isn’t always straightforward. Here’s a buyer’s checklist tailored to Australian small businesses.
1. Choose Your Pouch Type Wisely
Flat bottom, bottom gusset, or side gusset? Need a zip, spout, or degassing valve? Define your product's needs before browsing.
2. Check Food Safety Compliance
Make sure the supplier offers FSANZ-compliant, BPA-free, and food-grade certified materials. Look for clear documentation on safety standards.
3. Evaluate Branding Potential
Does the pouch support digital or rotogravure printing? Can you choose between matte, gloss, or kraft finishes? Even stock pouches should allow for sticker branding if custom MOQ is high.
4. Confirm Lead Time & MOQ
Some overseas options may have lower unit prices but long lead times or high MOQs. Australian suppliers like AGK MORE offer flexible order sizes with faster turnaround.
5. Understand Local Logistics
Ensure your supplier offers reliable, trackable delivery across Australia. Ask about sample availability, return conditions, and customer support.
Purchasing stand-up pouches online is convenient—but only when backed by proper due diligence. At AGK MORE, we help small brands access packaging that meets compliance, quality, and delivery needs—without the hassle.
