The criteria to determine the suitable stand up bags for your product depends on a number of factors. The first step is to understand clearly what needs to be packaged. The second step involves the exploration of various stand up pouch structures that suit your requirements the most. Then come other factors like the weight of your product, the conditions the bag will be subjected to, and the end users, etc.

Before you order standup pouches for your product, ask yourself these questions:

1.    What is the type of your product? Is it a liquid, a powder, or a paste? Is it oily, greasy, sharp, or heavy?
2.    Do you want your pouch to have a window to allow the end user to be able to see through the package?
3.    How much weight do you want to be packaged in a stand up bag (a few pounds)?
4.    Which style of pouch would you prefer? Would you like a stand up bag that can stand or do you require a flat pouch that can be hung in a display? Would you need tamper evident pouches that load from the bottom or you need a gusseted pouch?

You need to understand your requirements before you select the right pouch for packaging.
