Pouch Mockup Templates

Pouches have quietly become the go-to packaging format for everything from protein powder to sheet masks to artisan coffee. They're lighter than jars, cheaper than rigid boxes, and the print surface is essentially one big billboard for your brand. Mockups for pouches need to capture both the structural details (seals, zippers, tear notches) and the visual impact of a full-color printed surface.

Available templates cover flat pouches, gusseted pouches, ziplock stand-up pouches (doypack), three-side seal sachets, spout pouches, and retort pouches. Materials range from metallic foil (silver, gold) to matte laminate, kraft paper with window, clear transparent, and frosted plastic. The structural variety matters because a coffee brand uses a different pouch format than a skincare brand, and the mockup needs to match the actual packaging structure.

Smart object layers handle the front panel artwork. On pouches with visible back panels (like three-quarter view shots), back panel smart objects are also included for nutritional info, ingredient lists, and bilingual text. The design wraps around gusset edges on applicable templates, and the seal areas (top seal, bottom seal, side gussets) render with the proper wrinkled texture that heat-sealed packaging naturally has.

Material finish layers define the surface look:

• Metallic foil - reflective silver or gold surface with sharp highlights
• Matte laminate - soft finish, no reflection, premium aesthetic
• Glossy laminate - shiny with visible light reflections
• Kraft paper - natural brown with window cutout options
• Clear plastic - transparent showing product contents inside

The window option deserves attention. Kraft pouches with a clear window are extremely popular in the food industry - they let consumers see the actual product (granola, dried fruit, tea leaves) while maintaining the eco-friendly kraft exterior. Templates with window layers let you toggle visibility and customize the contents visible through the opening.

The detail level supports fine text (ingredient lists, nutritional panels, regulatory marks) that food and cosmetic packaging requires. Barcode areas and certification logos remain legible at the mockup's native resolution.

Food packaging designers, supplement brands, coffee roasters, cosmetic companies, and pet food brands get the most use out of these. The flexible packaging market is growing faster than rigid packaging, and designers increasingly need pouch mockups as part of their standard toolkit. Packaging agencies presenting to CPG (consumer packaged goods) clients use these templates in concept decks, initial design reviews, and production-approval presentations.

Showing the pouch from multiple angles works well here - front hero shot, back panel with ingredients, and a lifestyle scene with the product in a kitchen or bathroom setting. Three images tell the complete packaging story and give clients everything they need for approval.

What pouch types are included?

Flat pouches, gusseted pouches, ziplock stand-up pouches (doypack), three-side seal sachets, spout pouches, and retort pouches. Structural details like tear notches, zipper closures, and hang holes are rendered accurately.

Are different material finishes available?

Metallic foil, matte laminate, glossy laminate, kraft paper, and clear transparent options are available. Each material has distinct light reflection behavior that's handled through separate surface layers in the PSD.

Can I show product contents through a window?

Kraft pouches with window cutouts include a contents layer where you can customize what's visible - granola, coffee beans, tea leaves, or any other product fill. The window visibility is toggleable and the contents are editable.
