Pillow Bag Packaging

What is a Pillow Bag?

A pillow bag, also known as a back-sealed bag, is one of the most widely used packaging formats in the food, pharmaceutical, and daily consumer goods industries.
It features a pillow-like shape with two horizontal seals at the ends and one vertical seal along the back.
This structure makes pillow bags suitable for:

  • Snacks (biscuits, chips, candy)
  • Powders (flour, coffee, milk powder)
  • Pharmaceuticals (tablets, medical supplies)
  • Small consumer items
