Dry food packing
Name the fill, target oxygen transmission rate, and whether a zipper is on the first production lot.
Independent packaging sourcing
biodegradable stand up pouches
Biodegradable Stand Up Pouches Sourcing is an independent sourcing partner. We help US packaging buyers write one construction, quantity unit and destination so factories can return wholesale quotes on the same line. We do not manufacture pouches, hold warehouse stock, or sell under a brand appointment.

Material
Resin stack, kraft paper, foil barrier or mono-material PE. Compostable wording is a claim to file, not a grade name.
Size
Fill volume in ml and film thickness in μm or mil. Width, height and bottom gusset belong on the same die line.
Color count, gravure printing or flexographic printing, and whether artwork is approved or still in revision.
Quantity
Order unit in pieces, cartons or rolls, plus the US state or postal code used for freight.
Two quote lines that should not be mixed
A biodegradable stand up pouches request is not a retail listing. Keep compostable-claim constructions and food-contact laminates on separate rows so oxygen transmission rate and water vapor transmission rate are not compared across different stacks. ISO ICS 55.020 supplies unit vocabulary for packaging; it is not a certificate held by this desk.
| Check | Compostable-claim pouch line | Food-contact laminate line |
|---|---|---|
| What the buyer names | Intended end-of-life claim and the standard the factory must attach | Fill, barrier target and whether foil or metallized film is allowed |
| Film or paper | Named compostable film or paper-plastic hybrid, with thickness in μm | PET/PE or similar laminate, often 80-140 μm, with seal initiation temperature |
| Ink set that the factory can support on that film; plate or digital setup extra | Spot or process colors on the same die line; revisions billed separately | |
| Documents | Claim file plus any compostability test report for the exact structure | Food-contact statement and migration testing for the named stack |
| Outside piece price | Tooling, plates, samples and freight | Tooling, plates, samples and freight |
A 10,000-pouch-per-artwork lot and a 50,000-pouch reprint are different commercial objects. Name fill volume in ml, film thickness in the 80-140 μm range when that is the intended laminate, and whether print is 4-color process or a 6-color flexographic printing job. Those figures are fields to complete, not ratings this desk publishes.
Directory names on the inquiry options are not inventory. After the line is written, send the brief so factories quote the same exclusions. A one-line RFQ note can travel with the request.
Where buyers usually pack these pouches
Use cases below are procurement situations, not completed customer projects. Each one still needs fill, destination and document fields before a factory can quote.
Pet food packing
Aroma and grease often need a different barrier than dry snacks. Keep foil and mono-material PE on different quote lines.
Personal care refill
Spout, cap and leak test belong next to film thickness. Cosmetic claims are not a food-contact file.
Industrial pack-out
Moisture-sensitive parts need water vapor transmission rate and a named desiccant plan, not a recycle slogan.
