Stand Up Pouches for Product Packaging

How Do Resealable Pouches Contribute to Food Safety?

Written by David Marinac | Nov 9, 2013 5:23:00 AM

When people buy anything from the market- especially food products, safety is generally the first thing that comes to their mind. They want to know if the food product will remain safe and fresh. For this reason, consumers are often interested in the type of packaging. They want to know if the materials used in packaging can keep the product safe and secure. StandUpPouches.net is aware of this. We know how important it is to convince consumers about the safety of your product. So we put in a lot of effort to make our pouches secure for your product. In this post, we present three factors that make our stand up packaging secure.

(1) Film quality

The barrier films used in our pouches are made from food grade FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved materials. These materials have been rigorously tested and declared safe for food packaging by the federal body. Another advantage of these films is that they make an effective guard against environment hazards – moisture, dirt, and germs etc. We use these high quality materials in the manufacture of our pouches to ensure utmost safety.

(2) Ink quality

In the world of packaging, there are two popular types of ink- oil based inks and water based inks. Oil based inks have an uncanny ability to percolate through packaging into food. Over the long run, this makes the food unsafe for consumption. Water based inks are different. For all practical purposes, they do not leach through the packaging into the food. They are safer. We use only water based inks on our packaging to enhance safety.

(3) Independent laboratories

StandUpPouches.net has an enviable internal security mechanism to test packaging on several security criteria. We also have contracts with independent labs. The labs test our packaging with your product packaged inside over a number of criteria. We ship pouches only when there has been a go-ahead from our own internal safety mechanism and/or independent laboratories.

Besides these three factors, there is a lot else that goes into ensuring our packaging is secure and capable of keeping your product fresher for longer. Our website has ample information on every aspect of stand up packaging.
