"Flexible food packaging". Interesting term, isn't it? If you think about it, flexible food packaging can actually mean two different things. Flexible in the literal sense, as in capable of being folded, rolled or curled. Or flexible in the figurative sense, as in adaptable to different conditions and able to meet varying needs. For producers, wholesalers, distributors and retailers, the ideal food packaging is that which is flexible in both senses of the word, packaging such as stand up pouches.

Stand up pouches consist of multiple layers of scientifically-formulated, food-grade film which are laminated together to create a barrier pouch that is strong, puncture-resistant and, yes, flexible. These pouches protect food contents from vapor, odor, moisture, pests, and if desired, air and/or light. The pouch barrier also preserves product shelf life by sealing in freshness, flavor, and nutrition, especially when you order the optional zip lock closure (for dry goods) or pour spout/resealable cap combination (for liquids). These features have the added benefit of preventing spills as well.

Stand up pouches stand up. This enables them to store conveniently in the kitchen cupboard or refrigerator/freezer, the RV pantry, a beach cooler or picnic basket, even a purse or backpack. And, because the barrier itself is flexible (there's that word again), squeezing stand up pouch flexible food packaging into any available space is easy.

In standing up on store shelves, brands packaged in stand up pouches stand apart from those of their competitors. Another display option for grocers and other retailers is provided via the optional round and sombrero-shaped hang holes.

You're provided display options as well by the fact that stand up pouches have wide front and back panels. These pouch sides accommodate custom printing in up to 10 colors, product labels and/or other stickers, the use of clear or translucent film in the construction of the pouch barrier, or any combination of these features.

Stand up pouch flexible food packaging is, in addition to the attributes we've mentioned, eco friendly, made of 12 percent less material than other packaging bags and recyclable too.
