Pasted Open Mouth (POM) bags

This open-end, flush cut bag, although similar to the SOM style, Pasted Open Mouth bags are a flat tube sack with a factory formed, satchel-type, pasted bottom. Once filled, the satchel bottom serves as a flat, square base. There are no gussets on this bag.

These bags are typically sewn closed after filling, although folding and gluing are also viable options. However, using a sewn closure, along with the flush-cut end, makes the POM bag suitable for products with variable density because the bag length can be trimmed as necessary.

Due to it's flush-cut design, the POM bag has a relatively low end- strength, and is not sift proof if used for powdered-like products.
