Packaging liquid products presents some interesting challenges, created primarily, of course, by that whole liquid thing. Liquid packaging solutions require vessels/containers/packages that not only protect the contents from (as needed) vapor, odor, moisture, pests, light and/or air, but also guard against puncture or other damage that would render the product unsalable. Stand up pouches are perhaps your best choice of liquid packaging solutions. They provide performance, convenience, branding versatility and are usually environmentally friendly as well.
Stand up pouch liquid packaging solutions work because they are strong, stable, puncture-resistant, yet still flexible enough to store conveniently virtually anywhere, whether it be in the garage, the closet, a kitchen cupboard, RV pantry or refrigerator/freezer. In fact, stand up pouches are so convenient that liquids and lotions (e.g., sunscreen) can be easily carried in a backpack or purse.
Stand up pouches are also known as custom stand pouches, Mylar barrier bags and stand up bags. Not surprisingly, they stand up on the store shelf, permitting your brand's line of liquid products to stand apart from those of your competitors. Round and sombrero-style hang holes are also available for smaller liquid quantities, thereby offering grocers and other retailers another product display option.
Optional pour spouts and resealable caps help prevent spills and leaks. For beverages and other liquid products with a "best by" date", these features will also prolong their shelf life by sealing in freshness, flavor and/or nutritional properties or chemical potency.
Stand up pouches have wide front and back panels which provide you with several branding opportunities. They are ideally suited for your company labels or other stickers, can accommodate custom printing in up to 10 colors and are available in clear film as well. It's up to you to choose which and how many of these features you want to employ to better promote your product line in the store and make it more attractive to the undecided shopper.
Stand up pouch liquid packaging solutions also offer environmentally friendly packaging, not only because most pouches are recyclable but because their design ultimately generates less waste after disposal. Ask us how.
