Disposable Food Containers Known As Stand Up Bags

When it comes to disposable food containers, there is no "Constitution." What do we mean by that? Simply this: Not all packages are created equal. Boxes, cartons, canisters, jugs, bottles, cans, wraps and bags are all used for food packaging with various levels of effectiveness. Technological advances have created a whole new class of what is generally described as plastic packaging, incorporating polyester and all manner of polymers. As a result, disposable food containers have become an increasingly popular form of food packaging and stand up pouches are perhaps the most effective food pouch available.

Stand up pouches are also known as custom stand bags, Mylar® barrier pouches and stand up bags. Each pouch is made by laminating together multiple layers of scientifically formulated film into a barrier that guards food against vapor, odor, moisture, pests, pets, light and air. The barrier also seals in freshness, flavor, aroma and nutritional value, thereby extending the product's shelf life.

Disposable food containers like stand up pouches are puncture-resistant, yet flexible enough to store easily in a kitchen cupboard or refrigerator/freezer. Available tear notches make for easy opening and no bag package closure is more convenient than the zip seal option of stand up pouches.

Stand up pouches are a marketer's dream as well. Because they stand up on the shelf, they stand out by standing apart from other types of packaging. Round and sombrero-style hang holes are also available, providing grocers and retailers another choice for product placement. Wide front and back pouch panels accommodate custom printing (in up to 10 colors) tailored to your exact specifications or your own company labels. You can combine the two and even incorporate the use of clear film to more effectively display your brand's food products.

Stand up pouches are, for the most part recyclable. However, we acknowledge that most consumers still don't consistently recycle. Fortunately, then, stand up pouches generate less waste than most other food pouches because they are usually made with less material than those other bags (up to 12 percent less).

Food pouches and disposable food containers such as stand up bags have come a long way, culminating in the packaging known as stand up pouches.
