Kaida Group lists an eight-side-seal bag in its [flat-bottom pouch range](https://www.kaidapackaging.com/Customized-Logo-China-Factory-Directly-Salefood-Grade-Eight-Side-Seal-Packaging-Bag-pd552691648.html?ref=kaidapackaging.ghost.io). If you are considering this format, the most useful first step is to describe the filled pack you need. A photo of an empty pouch cannot settle its size, shelf presence, filling method or artwork layout.

## Begin with the product and the fill

Write down what will go into the pouch, its target net weight or volume, and how it behaves during filling. A light, bulky snack and a dense powder may need different internal space even at the same stated weight. If the product has large pieces, irregular shapes or a tendency to settle, include that information in the brief.

Give the supplier your target filled dimensions, rather than only the flat dimensions of an empty bag. If you already have a pack that works, share its measurements and a filled sample. If this is a new launch, state the target content and shelf footprint, then ask for a physical mock-up to check the proportions.

## Make the shelf and artwork requirements visible

Decide where the pack will be seen: standing on a retail shelf, sitting in an open display case, or shipped primarily through ecommerce. Record the maximum shelf height, the front-facing width you want and any carton constraints. Those limits help turn a preferred look into a usable pack size.

For the artwork, identify the brand panel, product name, required market information, barcode and any area you want to leave unprinted. Ask for a dieline showing the printable areas and seal zones before final artwork is laid out. On a flat-bottom format, artwork needs to be reviewed on the assembled pouch, including side and bottom surfaces where they are part of the design.

## Describe how the pack will be made and used

Tell the packaging team whether the pouch will be filled by hand or on a machine, which end will be filled, and how the final seal will be made. Note whether the consumer needs a one-time opening or a reclosure. These decisions affect the opening, the available artwork space and the line trial you should plan.

Include the route from filling to the customer: carton size, expected orientation in transit, and any display or handling steps. A pack that looks right in isolation still has to fit the way your business packs, ships and presents it.

## A one-page brief to send

- **Product:** name, physical form, target net content and any handling characteristics.
- **Filled pack:** target height, width, depth and shelf footprint, or a comparable filled sample.
- **Filling:** manual or machine process, fill direction and closing method.
- **Use:** opening and reclosure preference, plus how the customer will store the pack.
- **Artwork:** brand priorities, required market information, barcode and desired printable surfaces.
- **Distribution:** carton dimensions, transport route and display setting.

Send this brief with any current pack drawings or photos. The next discussion can focus on a proposed size, dieline and filled sample that your team can assess on the shelf and on the filling line.
