Not all packaging materials are suitable for all types of products. Take meat, for example. Meat requires packaging that not only protects it (and protects it well) from various environmental factors, the packaging must also accommodate the perishable status of almost all meat, poultry and fish products. Fortunately, stand up meat packaging bags adequately address those requirements while providing other packaging features as well.

Stand up meat packaging bags are the product of a very energy-efficient manufacturing process that takes multiple layers of food-grade, scientifically-formulated film and laminates them together. The resulting barrier bag is strong, stable, durable and puncture-resistant, fully capable of protecting your line of meat products from pests, odor, vapor and moisture while, at the same time, prolonging the shelf life of your brand by preserving the freshness, flavor and nutritional properties. The optional zip lock closure feature bolsters the ability of stand up meat packaging bags to protect and preserve.

Stand up bags, also known as stand up pouches, Mylar® pouches and custom print bags,permit your products to be conveniently stored in the kitchen cupboard or, more commonly, the refrigerator/freezer because they do, indeed, stand up as advertised.

 

 

Stand up bags also stand up in the store, even on a shelf in the frozen food section. For smaller food quantities, round and sombrero-shaped hang holes offer grocers and other retailers another option for displaying your meat varieties.

The design of stand up meat packaging bags yields front and back panels that provide space.
sufficient for affixing your product labels and other stickers, a surface that accommodates custom printing in up to 10 colors, the option of choosing clear or translucent film in the bag's barrier construction or any combination of these possibilities.

In addition to the other features we've mentioned, stand up bags are environmentally friendly as well. Although consisting of multiple layers of film, they require up to 12 percent less material to make than most other packaging bags, thereby weighing less and using less fuel/unit to ship. Generating less waste after disposal, most are recyclable in any event.
