Rice pilaf, a simple way to prepare rice that leaves it fluffy and without clumps, comes in many varieties and is an increasingly popular addition to any meal, whether it be as an entree or a side dish.  When it comes choosing the best rice pilaf packaging, stand up bags are your best bet, for shipping, for storing, for selling.  And, at the end of the day, any packaging that can help you build your sales is great packaging.  

Known as Mylar® stand bags, stand up pouches and barrier bags, among other things, stand up bags are the product of laminating together multiple specially formulated film layers.  This results in a package that is puncture resistant and locks out vapor, odor and pests while locking in fragrance, flavor and freshness.  Available tear notches prevent the possibility of pulling too hard when first opening the package and having pilaf strewn about the whole kitchen.  Zip lock closures that guard against spoilage are also available.  Your sales will not be harmed in the slightest by a package that extends the shelf life of your product.

Packaging convenience, shelf life and quality are not sufficient to guarantee sales, however.  Display, marketing and branding are key as well.  And when it comes to those three components of rice pilaf packaging, stand up bags meet your needs.  Stand up pouch construction yields front and back panels that provide ample room to affix your company labels or have product information and graphics custom printed directly on the barrier.  You can even combine the two for even more attractive and, therefore, effective packaging. 

For displaying rice pilaf packaging, stand up bags stand out from the competition because they stand up on the shelf.  Know, however, that round and sombrero-style hang holes are also available, providing the retailer another display option to make your products stand out from those of your competition.  

More sales strategies than ever include some consideration of the environment as consumers become increasingly Eco-conscious.  Your sales with that demographic will be enhanced by the fact that not only are stand up bags recyclable, bags that do make it to a landfill will take up no more room than an empty shipping envelope. 

All in all, building your sales requires thinking outside the box, so to speak.  Using stand up bags for rice pilaf packaging lets you do exactly that.  Want to learn more?
