More dry mixes are becoming a part of our diet than ever before. There is an increasing popularity of seasoning mixes, pasta dishes, and baking mixes. They are easy to prepare, and can be bought ready-made. Why are they famous? They taste fantastic and they are not expensive.

Some manufacturers have realized this demand for dry mixes, and they are responding to this demand by raising their supply in many varieties. Even though dry mixes themselves are not expensive, the packaging used to pack them can increase their retail price. Manufacturers are reluctant to do this, especially in this business environment when the ripples created from the global economic meltdown are still being felt. Dry mixes have traditionally been packaged in heavy, cumbersome, and expensive glass jars. This is changing as manufacturers and consumers are looking for easy-to-use, inexpensive packaging that has all the advantages of a glass jar, but none of the disadvantages.

A glass jar provides a strong protection against humidity, moisture, dirt, and other environmental hazards. A stand up pouch bag is made from several layers of plastic and other materials. Together these layers provide good protection against environmental factors, just like glass jars. However, unlike glass jars, pouch bags are flexible. They can fall from several feet and still not burst. This is not possible with fragile glass jars.

Glass jars stand erect on store shelves. Stand up food pouches with gussets can also stand erect on store shelves. If hang holes are added to these pouches, they can be hung on hooks. Glass jars are almost never hung. This versatility offers more visibility to stand up bags. A store running out of shelf space can hang dry mix pouches at a place where they remain visible to customers. This is not possible with glass jars.

And then, glass jars are huge. They provide a large surface area for artwork and product information but that information is on a circular surface and cannot be read without rotating the jar. Stand up pouches come in different sizes. They have a large front and back. These surfaces provide ample area for advertisement. Unlike glass jars where consumers have to constantly rotate to read what is written on the surface, stand up pouches provide all the information on a single level surface where it is easier to read.
