Catnip Packaging Using Stand Up Pouches

Catnip is a form of mint, a perennial herb native to Europe and now grown in the United States.  "Although no one knows exactly what happens in the cat's brain, it is known that the chemical nepetalactone in catnip is the thing that triggers the response. Apparently, it ...kicks off a stereotypical pattern in cats...sensitive to the chemical. The catnip reaction is inherited, and some cats are totally unaffected by it. Large cats like tigers can be sensitive to it as well." Given how it works and what it's used for, there are probably fewer pet supply items that present more interesting packaging challenges than cat nip packaging. 

Let's start with the obvious.  Protection against odor.  Not from odor getting into the package, but odor getting out!  Stand up pouches may be the best solution to the problem of cat nip packaging.  Also called stand bags, custom printed stand bags, Mylar bags and stand up bags, stand up pouches are made from multiple layers of scientifically designed barrier film laminated together.  This process creates a durable and puncture-resistant container in which catnip can be safely shipped, displayed in the market and stored at home.  And which keeps the odor in!

With available zip seal closure, this packaging can be securely resealed, thereby preventing unauthorized feline raids on the cat nip "stash".  Stand up bag catnip packaging also protects against moisture, vapor and light.

When it comes to marketing, stand up catnip packaging can be displayed on any eye-level shelf as it is stable enough to stand on its own.  With hang holes also available, catnip can be displayed via a hanging display as well.

In addition to how it's displayed, stand up cat nip packaging provides options for what is displayed.  With wide front and back panels, stand up bags provide ample surface area to apply custom-designed labels or customizable printing in up to 10 colors.  Either way, it's possible to make catnip look better than ever.

Durable, convenient, attractive (did we mention durable?), stand up pouch cat nip packaging is the perfect way to ship, market and store this treat for the furry member of the family.  Interested in learning more about catnip packaging using stand up bags?
