01 — Overview
A pillow bag — also known as a lay flat bag or centre back-seal pouch — is a simple, cost-efficient flexible packaging format produced by sealing the back edge and both ends of a film tube. Tansox manufactures custom pillow bags in print runs of 10,000+ units, for hygiene, medical and personal care products where a simple, high-volume packaging format is required.

07 — Frequently Asked
Questions buyers ask before quote.
A pillow bag is produced by sealing the back and ends of a film tube — it inflates to a pillow shape when filled but doesn't stand upright on its own. A stand up pouch has a gusseted base that allows it to stand independently. Pillow bags are simpler to produce, more cost-efficient, and suited to high-volume hygiene and medical applications where display standup isn't required.
Yes. Tansox prints pillow bags using flexographic and gravure printing, up to 10 colours, with Pantone colour matching. The full surface of the pillow bag — front, back and gussets — is available for print.
Tansox's standard MOQ for custom-printed pillow bags is 10,000 units per SKU. Unprinted stock is available from 5,000 units. Pillow bags are one of the most cost-efficient formats to produce at scale — confirm pricing with the sales team.
