Gusseted Bags
Side-gusset bags that expand to fit bulky or irregularly shaped products. Creates a box-like shape for professional retail presentation.
About Gusseted Bags
Gusseted bags solve a problem that lay flat bags can't — packaging products with depth. The side gusset folds inward when the bag is empty and expands outward when filled, creating a three-dimensional package that conforms to the product's shape.
The key measurement for gusseted bags is the open mouth width, which equals the body width plus the total gusset. For example, a bag with a 10-inch body and 4-inch total gusset (2 inches on each side) has a 14-inch open mouth when fully expanded.
We manufacture gusseted bags in any width with gusset depths customized to your product dimensions. Food-grade, industrial, and printed options are all available — manufactured in-house at our Los Angeles facility.

Frequently Asked Questions
Lay flat bags are simple flat tubes — best for thin, flat items. Gusseted bags have expandable side folds that create a box-like shape for bulky or deep products.
Measure your product's width, depth, and height. The bag width should match product width, gusset should match product depth, and bag length should be at least product height plus 2-3 inches for closure.
