Stand Up Pouches for Product Packaging

How Can Stand Up Packaging Keep Food Fresh for Long?

Stand up pouch bags are made from several layers of barrier film. Depending on the type of product and other information gathered from a business, we use a specific combination of these layers to produce a packaging that keeps your product fresh for long. The packaging does not interfere with your product to improve its freshness or shelf-life. It works by controlling the factors that could have reduced the freshness of your product. It keeps the influence of those detrimental factors at a minimum. In order to do this, stand up bags provide:

Protection against environmental factors

Your food products can go stale quickly due to a number of reasons. The moisture, dirt, bad odors, and even the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) light can react with your product to make it stale. Stand up packaging provides a strong barrier against these factors. A stand up bag is made from several layers of barrier film. Each film has its definite function. Some films protect your food from the sun’s ultraviolet rays while others form an impregnable barrier against the atmospheric moisture. You can choose layers with specific barrier properties depending on a number of factors including temperature, moisture, and weather conditions.

Protection against human factors

Any packaging option is good if it can protect your product from moisture and other environmental factors. At the same time, it is useless if it cannot even protect your product from rough handling, tough transport, and wear and tear during transportation. Stand up pouches provide protection against both environmental and human factors. Products intended for an industrial market can be packaged in puncture resistant barrier films. These films enable the packaging to withstand the roughest handling conditions, and still come out unscathed along with the product.

Protection against toxicity

StandUpPouches.net’s custom printed pouch bags are made from only the highest quality FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved food-grade materials. These materials have undergone rigorous testing for food safety. They have been tested for toxicity for a wide range of food products. These pouches do not chemically react with foods. Their inert character preserves the original odor and freshness of a food product for a long time. This is in strong contrast to some other packaging methods – especially carton boxes made from used cardboard. Some researchers in Europe have discovered that cartons may be exuding toxins to food products packaged in them. There has never been such a concern about our stand up bags.
