Packaging formats
See the packaging formats before choosing the project route.
Start with a pouch or bag shape when the bag or pouch shape is already clear. Start with an application guide when the product, customer use or packing workflow is the better first question. Every route on this page leads to a live, editable WANLI page.

Explore by format
Choose the page that matches the physical pack you are considering.
These six visual routes cover the most common first questions: pouch profile, shelf shape, side profile, dispensing, packaging-line context and product/packing workflow. Select one to make the first conversation more concrete.
Upright pouch profile
Stand-Up Pouches
Start here when the pouch shape and upright presentation are the clearest part of the brief.
Structured shelf profile
Flat Bottom Pouches
Start here when the product, intended fill and box-like shelf form guide the first discussion.
Expanding side profile
Side Gusset Bags
Start here when the side profile, taller pouch silhouette and visible information areas matter.
Dispensing route
Spout Pouches
Start here when how the product is poured, dispensed or refilled is central to the project.
Packaging-line route
Printed Rollstock Film
Start here when the product, packaging line and artwork direction shape the first brief.
Product and packing workflows
Custom Poly Bags
Start here when the bag supports product packing, retail presentation, parts or mailing workflows.

Not sure of the format yet?
Use Packaging by Product Context when the product, customer use or packing workflow is clearer than the package shape. Bring the product, a current package or reference image, and the project details you know today.
Format pages are planning routes, not technical promises. Materials, specifications, performance and compliance are confirmed against the actual project.
