Abstract
A gusseted stand-up flexible pouch including a pouch-forming structure. The pouch-forming structure including first and second body panels, first and second side gussets, a bottom gusset and at least one interior gusset. The bottom gusset extends between the first and second body panels. Each of the first and second side gussets is joined to the first and second body panels. The at least one interior gusset is joined to the first and second body panels. The at least one interior gusset is located between the first and second side gussets. The at least one interior gusset divides an interior of the stand-up flexible pouch into a plurality of compartments.

A method of forming a gusseted stand-up flexible pouch, the method comprising:
- providing a sheet of film having a first side and a second side;
- folding the sheet of film to form a bottom gusset, the sheet of film having an open end opposite of the bottom gusset;
- placing a first and a second side gusset-forming material between the first and second sides of the sheet of film;
- placing interior gusset-forming material between the first and second sides of the sheet of film;
- cutting the first and second side gusset-forming material to form first and second side gussets;
- sealing the first and second side gussets to interior surfaces of the first side and the second side;
- sealing the interior gusset-forming material to interior surfaces of the first side and the second side to form an interior gusset,
- wherein after the cutting and sealing, the interior gusset divides an interior of the stand-up flexible pouch into a plurality of compartments.

- sealing the first and second side gussets to interior surfaces of the first side and the second side;
- sealing the interior gusset-forming material to interior surfaces of the first side and the second side to form an interior gusset,
- forming at least one line of a weakness, the at least one line of weakness extending from the first side around the bottom gusset and to the second side,
- wherein after the cutting and sealing, the interior gusset divides an interior of the stand-up flexible pouch into two compartments, and
- wherein the at least one line of weakness assists in separating the pouch-forming structure into at least two separated pouches.
