Cheaper packaging has not apparently been the sole motive for Crystal Farms to move to pouch bags. The company proudly announces on its website that its newer stand up bags take up 20 per cent less packaging. This makes Crystal Farms cheese packets lighter, easier to use, and more environment friendly.
Crystal Farms is not the only seller to put its belief in stand up pouches. Hundreds of large and small cheese sellers in the United States have turned to stand up pouches for their economy of production, environmental friendliness, and user convenience. A large portion of cheese that hits store shelves each year comes packaged in stand up pouches. This portion is going to increase; just like the projected cheese consumption.
