Cardboard box packaging is very commonly used for cereals. This is because cardboard is recyclable, cost effective, and quite eco-friendly. However, according to a study, there’s a drawback in using recyclable cardboard boxes. There’s a higher risk of contamination, which results in a vulnerability to diseases. The inner plastic layers of cardboard boxes do not offer enough protection against contamination from ink and mineral oils. This can be resolved by using thicker inner walls, but then the cost of packaging increases.

Stand up bags are more user friendly than cardboard boxes. They do not have any redundant space and are more compact. Zip locks and side gussets offer additional protection without the empty space that cardboard boxes are infamous for. Stand up pouches that are filled with nitrogen gas stay protected against external shocks at quite a reasonable cost.

Regarding the safety aspect, flexible pouches from StandUpPouches.net are made from FDA approved food grade materials. Unlike several types of recyclable cardboard boxes, our pouches are contamination free. Our high quality manufacturing processes ensure that the pouches are safe for packaging all kinds of food products.

The multiple laminated layers in our custom printed stand up bags provide ample protection for packaged products. The inclusion of accessories such as zip locks and spouts adds value to the pouches and increase user-friendliness. Other benefits of stand up bags include environment friendliness, economy, and ease of storage.
