Stand Up Pouches for Product Packaging

Barrier Bags - A Personal Touch To Retail Packaging

Barrier bags are made by sealing several layers of protective polymer to lock in the taste and nutritional quality of the contents. Whether it’s baby food or protein powder, secure packaging is the first step towards commercial success.

Health food packaging has evolved greatly with an expanding customer segment. Conventional bottles, jars and cans and plastic pouches have given way to stand-alone pouches, which occupy little storage space.

Stand up barrier pouches and bags are engineered to repel moisture, air and allergens. Freshness-lock technology makes them favorites with companies engaged in supplement packaging. Pills, gluten-free food, and snack bars packed inside flat barrier bags retain their food value and medical properties.

For cheap, light-weight, self standing bags that are easy to transport and display on store shelves, the entire food and beverage industry is adopting barrier pouches and foils. Often, trial or trade show focused products come packed in these laminated bags.

Items like liquid soaps, body lotions, cooking oil, sanitizers, coffee, tea, fruit juices, and all types of dry food products are packed in these bags. These bags could either be transparent or opaque, round or angular bottomed, big or small. Regardless of their shapes and colors, barrier packaging has emerged as a definitive merchandise packaging that speaks at a more personal level to your customers.
