Engineered with multi-layered high barrier structures optimized to withstand Colombia's diverse ecological zones—from the high altitudes of Bogotá to the coastal humidity of Cartagena.
The manufacturing and retail ecosystem in Colombia is experiencing a structural shift. Enabled by rapidly expanding middle-class demographics in primary urban centers like Bogotá, Medellín, Cali, and Barranquilla, local brands are facing higher shelf competition and stricter logistics demands. Traditional stand-up pouches and gusseted packaging are being replaced by the premium Flat Bottom Pouch (also known as the box pouch or block bottom pouch).
For decades, Colombia's agro-industrial exports—specifically Colombian coffee (Café de Colombia) and agricultural products—have relied heavily on traditional packaging formats. However, modern automated retail systems (such as Éxito, Carulla, and Olímpica) demand shelf-stable, upright, and space-efficient packaging. The flat bottom pouch excels here by combining the best features of a gusseted bag and a traditional stand-up pouch, providing 30% more printable surface area and superior structural stability under tropical distribution conditions.
Colombia's geographical diversity presents extreme packaging challenges. Products packaged in high-humidity coastal zones like Buenaventura and Barranquilla face completely different atmospheric demands compared to those stored in high-altitude, low-pressure regions like Bogotá. Without custom barrier engineering, oxygen and moisture permeation will rapidly degrade organic products, resulting in premature spoilage.
Jieyang Yuanzhong Printing Co., Ltd. resolves this by offering complex multi-layer laminate combinations featuring:
Operating a food processing or packaging line in Colombia requires strict adherence to food safety norms set by INVIMA (Instituto Nacional de Vigilancia de Medicamentos y Alimentos). Importing non-compliant packaging material can lead to customs delays, heavy fines, and brand damage.
As a global manufacturing partner, our production facilities utilize only 100% solvent-free laminations and migration-tested food-grade inks. We supply complete traceability documentation, FDA-approval sheets, and raw material compliance certificates, ensuring that your flat bottom pouch shipments pass customs at Cartagena, Buenaventura, or Santa Marta without compliance delays.

In accordance with Colombia’s national targets to decrease plastic pollution, brands are actively searching for environmentally friendly packaging alternatives. The flat bottom pouch format is naturally eco-efficient because it optimizes structural volume, requiring less material than standard side-gusseted formats.
Our research and development team is leading the industry by introducing biodegradable kraft paper laminates and high-barrier mono-PE materials. These solutions allow brands to maintain high barrier requirements for aroma and moisture preservation while offering packaging that is fully recyclable within standard polyethylene sorting streams.
