Custom gusseted bags are flexible packaging bags with expandable folds (gussets) on the sides or bottom that allow the bag to open wider and hold more product. NewRound Packaging manufactures custom printed gusseted bags in a range of sizes, materials, and finishes to suit food, coffee, pet food, cannabis, and non-food products.
As a 100% self-owned factory in Guangdong, China, NewRound offers custom gusseted poly bags with digital and plate printing, so brands can order packaging that scales with them at every stage of growth.
A gusseted bag is a bag with a fold, or gusset, built into its sides or bottom that expands when the bag is filled. This design increases the bag's capacity and lets it stand or sit upright, making gusseted bags ideal for bulky, high-volume, or free-flowing products.
There are two main types of custom gusseted bags:
Custom side gusset bags: Folds on both sides expand outward, creating a tall, structured bag. Side gusset bags are a popular choice for coffee, tea, and dry goods.
Custom bottom gusseted poly bags: A fold at the base lets the bag stand upright and hold more weight, which is well suited for pet food, snacks, and retail display.
The gusset size you need depends on the volume, weight, and shape of your product. As a general rule, wider or bulkier products require a deeper gusset, while lightweight or flat products need only a shallow one.
To choose the right size, consider three measurements:
Width: The front face of the bag, sized to your product and any printing or branding.
Height: The fill line plus extra space for sealing at the top.
Gusset depth: The expanded measurement of the side or bottom fold, which determines how much the bag can hold.
If you are unsure which dimensions fit your product, NewRound's team can recommend a size based on your product type, target fill weight, and shelf display needs.
NewRound Packaging produces custom gusseted bags tailored to different industries and storage conditions. Options include:
Materials: Aluminum foil, kraft paper, recyclable, and biodegradable films for high-barrier protection against moisture, oxygen, UV light, and odors.

Custom gusseted bags help products stand out on the shelf while protecting contents and maximizing capacity. Compared with flat bags, gusseted bags hold more volume in a compact footprint and can stand upright for better display.
Custom side gusset bags are better suited for tall, structured packaging like coffee and tea, while custom bottom gusseted poly bags work best when a product needs to stand on its own with a stable base, such as pet food or snacks.
