One of the most important applications of stand up pouches is in health food packaging. For example, in granola packaging, the product is maintained fresh although it is stored in a bag. This helps keep its nutrient value intact. Apart from that, cereal packaging also relies heavily on standup pouches. Pouches store a lot of health food and yet take up minimum space on the shelf. This is why most health food manufacturers prefer standup pouches for packaging.

The other benefits of these pouches are:

• They keep the content safe from excessive outside temperature. Perishable food products last longer in pouches even if they are not refrigerated.
• They protect the stored products from pollen, dust particles, and other impurities present outside.
• They protect the food from germs and other harmful organisms present in the air.

Apart from these benefits, health food packaging has many other uses as well. It helps create an attractive product for the market. With high quality printing, these pouches can be made appealing for the customers. With all these positive points, you would think that these pouches must be expensive, but in fact they are much cheaper than other solutions. This is why the entire packaging industry has shifted its focus and adopted standup pouches now.
