Flax seed, or flaxseed, farmed as early as 3000 BC in Babylon, has historically been considered to have tremendous health benefits.  As an example, King Charlemagne was so convinced of the healthful properties of flax seed that his subjects were required by law to consume it. 

Flax seed is high in omega-3 fatty acids, lignans (which have both plant estrogen and antioxidant components) and fiber (both insoluble and soluble).  Today, it is considered among the purported 'wonder' foods, increasing in popularity for both the consumer and the agricultural industry as well (it's what chickens eat to produce those omega-3 eggs!).  In fact, the Flax Council has reported that, in 2010, 300 new flax-based products were introduced in the U.S. and Canada.    

With all this demand, of course, comes demand for the perfect flax seed packaging.  And perhaps no packaging meets that demand better than stand up bag flax seed packaging.   As seeds degrade and decompose over time, they must be protectively stored.  With stand up pouches, also known as stand up bags, stand bags and Mylar® bags,  multiple layers of scientifically designed film create a puncture resistant barrier that protects flax seeds from vapor, odor and moisture.

Stand up bag flax seed packaging stands out from the competition.   It provides terrific marketplace display options because the bags stand up on the shelf.  It can also make an attractive hanging display by incorporating the available hang holes.

Stand bags have wide front and back sides with enough room to affix product labels describing the health benefits of flax seed in detail.  The surface area also provides ample opportunity for custom printing of text and graphics in up to ten colors, creating flax seed packaging that is as informative as it is attractive.

Tear notches are available to allow for easy, mess-free opening.  Anyone familiar with applying just a little too much force when ripping open a bag of seeds or chips or powders knows how important that can be!  Available zip seal closures ensure long shelf life while keeping the pests out.

For the consumer concerned about the environment, using stand up pouches as flax seed packaging is a 'green' solution.  Because of the unique design, very little, if any, outer packaging is necessary.  And, even more importantly,   stand up bags can also be recycled.
