Custom Recyclable Pouches
Custom printed recyclable pouches made from a single plastic type, so they can be recycled where accepted. Stand-up with zipper.
About our bag
Custom Recyclable Pouches made to order
Custom recyclable pouches are made from a single type of plastic, usually polyethylene, instead of several bonded materials. That mono-material structure means they can be recycled through store drop-off and programs that accept flexible PE packaging.
Recyclable without giving up the pouch format
You keep all the benefits of a stand-up pouch, including the shelf presence, the resealable zipper and the light weight, with a better end-of-life story you can print right on the bag.
Popular uses
- Snacks and granola
- Frozen and refrigerated foods
- Pet treats
- Household and garden products
Options you can choose
- Matte or gloss mono-PE film
- Recyclable zipper
- Tear notches and hang hole
- Full-color print
Sizes
Recycling access varies by location. We recommend printing the How2Recycle-style guidance that applies to your package once you have confirmed it with the program.

Questions about Custom Recyclable Pouches
Are recyclable pouches as protective as mylar?
They offer a good moisture barrier and a moderate oxygen barrier, which suits most snacks and dry goods. For coffee or long shelf life, foil mylar is stronger.
Can they go in curbside recycling?
Usually not. Flexible PE is commonly recycled through store drop-off programs.
