Pouch Tear Notch

A pouch tear notch allows for the end user to easily open the bag after you seal it and ensures customers know the bag was has not been tampered with. The tear notch sits directly below your heat seal area. A tamper evident pouch places the tear notch directly below the area that was pre-sealed at the factory. A tear notch usually sits directly above a zip closure (if applicable).

Pouch tear notches are an optional feature and can be omitted if required. However, a tear notch is helpful for your customer, as they can tear open the packaging without trouble. Tear notches can be placed at almost any distance below the top of the pouch, but below are some best places to place the tear notch.
