Product suitability and testing

Where your product is sensitive to light, take the transparent front panel into account and validate shelf life with your own product. You are responsible for ensuring that this pouch is compatible with and suitable for your intended product before purchase or use. You should carry out your own checks and testing using your specific contents and packaging process, including fill weight, filling method, heat-sealing equipment and settings, storage conditions, transport conditions, temperature exposure and intended end use.

Product descriptions, suggested uses, and capacity guidance are provided for general information only and do not guarantee suitability for every application. If you are unsure whether this pouch is right for your product, please request a sample and contact Rightpak before placing an order or using the packaging.

Capacity guidance

This size is commonly described as a 500g pouch format based on the contents being coffee beans, but the actual weight it will hold depends on your product’s bulk density, particle size, shape, product settling, required headspace and seal area.

For example, the same weight of salt or sugar, whole coffee beans and light popcorn will occupy very different volumes. You also need to allow headspace for a clean seal, which reduces the usable fill. We recommend ordering a sample to confirm the right fill level, shelf presentation and sealing allowance before ordering in volume.

With a clear front panel, fill level is visible to your customer, so it is worth checking on a sample that the filled pouch presents as you intend, including how your label sits against or in relation to the fill line.

Heat sealing

This pouch is intended to be heat sealed above the zip-lock closure and tear notch. Actual seal settings and performance depend on your sealer, temperature, dwell time, pressure, product contamination in the seal area, pouch handling and production environment.

Please check that your sealer jaw width and pouch handling suit the seal area available above the zip on this size and validate sealing performance using your own equipment and filled product before proceeding with a larger order or commercial launch. On a clear front panel, product dust or residue in the seal area is more visible, so keep the seal area clean during filling.
