Flexible food packaging goes beyond easy storage and attractive graphics. It refers to the level of intuitive packaging offered by stand up pouches and bags. These pouches are not just good looking and easy to store, but they also adapt to a consumer’s unique lifestyle needs.

Stand-upright pouches come in a wide diversity of shapes and seal styles. There are bottom gusset packs that hold heavy powdered food and keep it fresh for a long time. There are also lateral gussets and round bottomed bags for juices, soups and aromatic oils.

A juice pouch, for instance, contains a perishable item. Fruit or vegetable juice cannot come in contact with allergens, chemical pollutants, and dust. So how does a stand up juice bag prevent contamination? It simply laminate-locks the liquid inside and restricts the flow of heat, air, and odor.

The modern earth conscious consumer has woken up to the multi-faceted benefits of stand up packaging. Protein powders, detergents, and dry fruits do not degenerate inside and sauces do not leak out. Flour packaging has cashed in on these pouches in a big way.

Customers also love the fact that they are degradable and open to recycling. Besides, as snack food packaging, they are ideal travel mates, bringing a whole new meaning to ‘no-touch’ storage.
