Food packaging, once limited to barrels, burlap and boxy crates, has benefited tremendously from technological advances in manufacturing processes and packaging materials as well. Lightweight metals, recyclable paper and all manner of polymers enable producers and distributors alike to choose the packaging that ideally suits their products. Food packaging materials meet many, if not most, special requirements and stand up pouches are perhaps the most effective example of food packaging materials of all.

Stand up pouches are made of multiple layers of scientifically designed film that have been laminated together to create the type of barrier most foods (and beverages, for that matter), require. Durable, puncture resistant yet still flexible, food packaging materials such as stand up pouches guard contents from vapor, moisture, odor, pests (and pets) and, if necessary, air and light. The pouch barrier, especially when combined with available zip lock closures, extends product shelf life by sealing in freshness, flavor and nutritional qualities.

Food packaging materials like stand up pouches offer the consumer a great deal of convenience. As the name indicates, they stand up so they store neatly and save space on the shelf. The pouches are easy to open thanks to the optional tear notches. And, of course, there really isn't a more convenient way to close a packaging bag than the zip lock closures available which also prevent spills.

Stand up pouch food packaging serves to market your product line as well by, in essence enabling you to brand your brand. The pouches have wide front and back panels which easily accommodate your company labels, printing (in up to 10 colors) customized to your exact specifications, or a combination of both. In addition, clear film can also be incorporated, depending on the product.

Display options are also available to grocers and retailers as well. Not only do stand up pouches stand apart from the competition by standing up on the shelf but round and sombrero-style hang holes are also available.

Stand up pouches for food: Stand out packaging for food that offers the best in protection, convenience and marketing versatility. It's the perfect for knocking down barriers to more sales.
