Flour is packaged in a variety of packaging mediums that range from 19th century burlap sacks to 21st century stand up pouches. Currently, paper bags, stand up bags, and cardboard boxes are the most popular options to package flour. Of these, stand up pouches are increasingly becoming popular because of their economic cost, ease of use, flour protection, and environmental friendliness.

Flour is used in all cultures across the world, and is used with almost all meals. Therefore there is a huge market for it and thus it needs the right kind of packaging.

Manufacturers take several factors into account before picking the right flour packaging. These factors include customer preferences, cost, flour safety, and other elements.

The use of stand up pouches for food packaging is not new. These pouches are made from FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved materials that are safe to package flour. The use of several layers in stand up bags makes them puncture resistant. Other features come into picture when it’s time for designing a logo and artwork. Both have to be attractive without being too similar to the artwork of your competitors. You should consider all these elements before deciding how your flour will be packaged.
