Side Gusset Bags (Quad Seal / Center Seal)
The timeless commercial format for high-volume coffee bean roasting, bulk dry legumes, tea, and pet food. Maximum cubic filling capacity.

Engineered for High-Barrier Protection & Shelf Pop
Side gusset bags are an enduring packaging classic throughout the global specialty coffee and dry food wholesale industries. By pleating the material inwards on both the left and right sides, the pouch expands into a square or rectangular pillar when filled with product. At QINPACK, our side gusset bags are manufactured with reinforced corner quad seals (four corner edge seals) or central back fin seals. They provide massive internal cubic capacity, high puncture resistance against hard roasted beans, and pair perfectly with degassing valves and adhesive tin-tie reclosures.
Recommended Production Options:
Quad-Seal Vertical Column Stacking Load Dynamics
Four-corner structural welding engineered for high-density coffee palletization and anti-burst drop resilience.
Corner quad seals act as rigid structural columns allowing multi-tier carton stacking.
Expands fully into rectangular footprint for maximum volume-to-material efficiency.
High-tack double-sided adhesive strip with dual copper wire core for tight roll-down.
Multi-layer composite resists sharp roasted coffee beans and coarse grain abrasion.
