A new trend is emerging in the packaging world, and FlexiBox pouches are leading it. Also known as a flat bottom bag or a box pouch, a FlexiBox pouch is ideal for dry food packaging, cereal packaging, and other kinds of flexible food packaging. These pouches offer several advantages over traditional packaging methods which make use of rigid containers or other ways to package food items. These pouches bring together the advantages of both a gusseted bag and a stand up pouch. They feature a flat bottom which allows them to stand on a store shelf. The gussets on two sides increase the internal volume and thus the carrying capacity of the pouch. These packages also offer five printable surfaces. If used well, the printable surfaces can significantly increase sales of a product. These surfaces can be used for branding, logos, and printing product information.
The attractiveness of these pouches can be enhanced through many different processes. They come in various designs which include transparent pouches, pouches with a side window, and clear front pouches. Additional features such as a handle, zipper-top, punch hole, top slider, or hang hole increases their usefulness to the end consumer. Flexibox pouches are ideal for packaging heavy or voluminous items.
