Pouches for Supplements & CBD
Supplements and CBD products need a high-barrier stand-up pouch in matte white or metallic foil, with a resealable zip. Active ingredients — vitamins, botanicals, cannabinoids — degrade under light, oxygen and humidity, so an opaque, fully sealed structure protects potency in a way clear film cannot.
Label copy drives the layout more than aesthetics here. Supplement packs carry ingredient lists, dosage instructions, batch and expiry codes and statutory warnings, and CBD adds further compliance copy depending on the market. Matte white gives you a readable surface for small type; foil looks stronger on shelf but leaves less usable contrast for dense text.
Powders behave differently to capsules. A 1kg protein powder needs a wide gusset and a strong zip that survives repeated scooping, typically around 200 × 320mm. Capsule and gummy packs are much smaller — 130 × 200mm is common — and often carry a tamper-evident seal.
For daily-dose products, single-serve flat sachets alongside the main pack work well: they cost little to add to a run and give you a sampling format that posts inside a letter.

Materials to consider
Pouches for Supplements & CBD — common questions
- What pouch protects supplements best?
- An opaque high-barrier stand-up pouch — matte white or metallic foil — with a resealable zip. Light and oxygen are what degrade vitamins and botanicals, so avoid clear film and windows for these products.
- Do you supply child-resistant packaging for CBD?
- Child-resistant closures are available on spouted formats, and tamper-evident seals on pouches. Requirements vary by product and market, so tell us what you are packing and where you are selling and we will confirm what is available.
- How much space do I need for compliance text?
- Plan for a full back panel. Ingredient lists, dosage, warnings, batch and expiry codes typically need the whole reverse of the pouch at a readable size, which is one reason matte white is preferred over foil for these products.
- Can batch and expiry codes be printed on the pouch?
- They are normally applied by you at fill using a thermal or inkjet coder, because they change per batch. We leave a clear coding panel in the artwork so there is a proper place for them.
