Burlap sacks are a popular way to package and store large quantities of flour. In retail, plastic pouch bags are popular. Both of these packaging mediums have been designed for their respective jobs, and they do them well. Alter the roles, and they will do a pathetic job. The use of burlap sacks in retail is expensive for manufacturers. Plastic pouch bags are not as strong as burlap sacks, so they are not used for long-term storage. There are packaging methods that are best for a particular set of circumstances, but hopeless in other situations. Below is a list of qualities that the best retail packaging for flour ought to have -

(1) Protection

Unless the packaging can keep flour dry and free from a ton of contaminants in the air, it is useless. StandUpPouches.net's custom printed stand up pouches are made from several layers of plastic and other materials. This multiple layered structure provides a strong protection. This makes them ideal for packaging flour in retail.

(2) Cost

A packaging may be the most secure in the world and the most attractive, but if its cost is not negligible compared to the cost of flour, it becomes economically unfeasible to use. StandUpPouches.net's stand up bags cost between 15 and 20 cents apiece. This is less than half the price of the nearest competitor.

(3) Attractiveness

Competition is fierce in the market. Manufacturers are constantly looking for newer methods to make their product more attractive and attention grabbing. If a packaging cannot attract enough customers, it is not the best packaging for flour. StandUpPouches.net uses highly advanced rotogravure printing on its pouches. This printing creates bold and crisp colors which act as eye magnets.

(4) Ease of use

Today's consumer is busier than the consumer of 50 years ago. A modern consumer is looking for something that is easy to use. Stand up pouches for food packaging, including flour packaging, can be made very easy to use with the help of tear notches, spouts, and a range of other accessories.

(5) Chemistry

A packaging may be cheap, robust, attractive, and easy-to-use; but if it chemically reacts with flour, it is not good enough to be used. StandUpPouches.net pays extra attention when it comes to choosing chemicals to be used in artwork and manufacture. This ensures the chemicals used anywhere in the process will not react with flour in any harmful way. Chemical reactions can leave flour inedible.
