Do I Have to Use Boxes for Cake Mix Packaging?

No, you do not always need boxes to package cake mix. You can do it more safely and less expensively with stand up pouches – and you will not have to compromise on style or utility either.

Safety

Stand up pouches are made from high quality FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved food grade plastic. These pouch bags are assembled from several layers of laminate material. Together, these layers keep cake mix fresh for a longer period than most cardboard boxes.

This multilayer structure provides ample protection against ultraviolet rays, disgusting odors, harmful vapors, moisture, and other environmental hazards. The high quality of materials increases durability. This is especially important if packaging has to be done far away from the site of manufacture, and so transportation is involved. Stand up pouches are designed to withstand long transport and rough handling.

Expenses

A typical cardboard carton costs 35 cents. In comparison, the StandUpPouches.net's custom printed stand up bags can be bought for as little as 15 cents apiece. Storage and transport costs for stand up bags are minimal. Stand up pouches are packed and transported flat. In contrast, wooden or hard cardboard boxes take up a lot of room to store - thus raising inventory costs.

Attractiveness

There is an infinite variety of designs, shapes, and sizes available in stand up pouches. In the hands of an experienced design team, this huge variety can be duly utilized to make the most attractive packaging medium for cake mix. StandUpPouches.net uses rotogravure printing on its pouches. This advanced printing technique produces art designs that are bold and attractive. StandUpPouches.net also offers a huge choice in the design and shape of pouches. Manufacturers can choose pouches with gussets or without gussets, and they can opt for either metalized sheets or paper sheets. There are many other options available for highly customized creative food packaging.

Ease of use

Eye-catching designs can attract consumers initially, but it is the ease of use which keeps them coming back. Manufactures can make pouches more usable in a number of ways – by adding zip locks, tear notches, and other features.

Visibility

Store owners prefer stand up pouches because these bags can stand straight on the shelf or hang on a hook. Boxes do not offer such a choice. The number of accessories that can be used with them is limited. Have you ever seen a cake mix box hanging in a supermarket? This does not happen.

Next time, use a standup bag to package your cake mix and get better results at lower costs.
