Paper-First Repulpable Flat-Bottom Pouch
Paper-First Repulpable Flat-Bottom Pouch
A paper-first flat-bottom pouch for dry cat food, built around a heavy fibre web with a thin functional liner.
Specification
| Bag type | Green & Recyclable |
| Structure | Paper-based outer web over a functional barrier liner, flat bottom panel with quad corner seals so the box-shaped pouch stands square and stacks; a paper-compatible zipper or tin-tie keeps the closure in the fibre path where the fibre-first option is chosen |
| Material | DRAFT / TO CONFIRM - fibre-first construction direction. Sample candidates: (a) kraft paper 60-80 gsm / water-based barrier coating / thin PE or bio-based sealant liner; (b) paper / dispersion-coated barrier layer with a fibre-recovery-compatible sealant. Fibre share, liner grade and repulpability behaviour are unverified and must be tested before any fibre or recycling wording is used. |
| Total thickness | 140-180 microns total including the paper web (Draft / To Confirm) |
| Closure | Press-to-close zipper below the top seal with an easy-tear notch; tin-tie fold option for the 1 lb size |
| Print process | Flexographic surface print on the paper web, up to 6 stations, water-based inks (Draft / To Confirm) |
| Finish | Uncoated natural paper surface with a matte, tactile hand feel; optional spot varnish accent; no foil stamping, no metallised layer |
| Window | None. A window would break the fibre-first direction - Not offered in the default build (To Confirm as a special request only) |
| Handle | None by default on 1 lb and 3 lb; a reinforced die-cut paper handle is available on the 6 lb size - To Confirm |
| Degassing valve | None. No spout and no valve; the paper-first build is for dry food only |
| Origin | Dongguan, Guangdong, China |

| Environmental claim status | CLAIM PENDING - NOT VERIFIED. No repulpability, paper-recycling, recyclability, compostability or bio-based content claim is validated for this SKU. The fibre share, the liner material and the actual repulpability of the finished pack under a mill test are all unverified. Any fibre-first wording must wait for a mill or laboratory repulpability result and a resin declaration; until then describe the pack only as 'paper-first construction direction - recovery behaviour under verification'. |
About this structure
This pouch puts paper in the leading role. A 60-80 gsm kraft web carries the print and the shelf presence, while a thin coating and liner do the barrier work that paper alone cannot do for fat-containing kibble. The flat bottom panel with quad corner seals makes the pack stand square and stack like a box, so it reads well on a shelf and travels safely in a parcel. The surface is left uncoated and tactile, and the front panel stays blank so the buyer's own brand can be applied. Duties & taxes are not included in quoted prices.
