When you're buying packaging, one of the most confusing details is trying to determine what size actually holds your product. You see "1 oz bag" on a website, but actual world measurements don't always match up.

The Short Answer:

A standard 1 oz pouch is about 6x9 inches in length, perfect for carrying one ounce (28 grams) of product such as herbs and flower. It is a convenient, resealable pouch that provides shelf appeal as well as ease.

So let's clarify; and discuss what a 6x9 inch bag actually looks like.

The Size: 6x9 Inches

A 6x9 inch pouch is 6 inches wide (left to right) and 9 inches tall (top to bottom). It's a medium size stand-up pouch; ideal for single-serve or small batch product.

Approximately 28 grams of herbs such as flower or loose leaf tea

When closed, the usable space is a little less because of the zipper and side seams.

The flexible packaging industry was valued at $281 billion in 2024 and continues to increase.

What Does 1 Ounce Mean in Packaging?

Here’s the catch: “1 ounce” doesn’t describe bag size. It describes capacity by weight, which changes depending on what you’re filling it with.

1 ounce of coffee doesn’t take up the same space as 1 ounce of herbal tea

1 ounce of beef jerky packs tighter than 1 ounce of gummy candy

And 1 ounce of powdered supplement may need a smaller pouch altogether

That’s why most packaging pros, including Brandmydispo, measure bags in inches, not ounces.

Almost 78% of consumers have stated that they are more willing to trust products in custom Mylar bags.
