Potpourri.  Derived from the French pot pourri (literally translated as "rotten pot") Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines potpourri as "a mixture of flowers, herbs, and spices that is usually kept in a jar and used for scent."  Popular in homes, dorm rooms, hotel rooms and restaurants, potpourri helps create a pleasant and relaxing mood in any indoor environment. 

Because potpourri's primary appeal lies in the scent of its ingredients, the manner in which it is packaged, shipped and stored is crucial.  Potpourri packaging must, above all else, protect the contents both in transport and storage and ensure long shelf life when not in use.  Potpourri is one of those products that bring an air of luxury to the home.  The packaging should, therefore, lend a sense of luxury as well.

To maximize sales, potpourri packaging should stand out from the competition.  It should be beautiful at the store, on a bedroom dresser, a bureau in the den or a dining room buffet. 

Perhaps nothing serves as potpourri packaging better than stand up bags, otherwise known as Mylar™ bags, stand bags or stand up pouches.  Made by laminating scientifically designed film barriers together, these bags are resilient and puncture resistant.  They protect the potpourri from light, oxygen, vapor , moisture and odor.   They keep the herbs, flowers and spices dry (a must!).  And, while they keep odor out, stand up pouches used for potpourri packaging keep the fragrance in. 

By virtue of their design, stand up bags provide wonderful display options for the marketplace.  Constructed to have a stable base which enables them to stand up on their own, they are also available with hang holes (either round or sombrero style), so that they can be displayed via hanging.   

Stand bag potpourri packaging can be decorated to provide a beautiful alternative to blase boxes, plastic bags or jars.  The construction design produces wide front and back sides, surface area conducive to customizable printing in up to 10 colors or for affixing labels.  Either way, a company can provide product information, attractive graphics or even contact and other company information right on each bag. 

Creatively decorated stand up pouch potpourri packaging provides a beautiful home accessory.  The pouches protect potpourri from garden to nightstand, ensuring that all the ingredients are as fragrant as the day they were picked.  Learn more about using stand bags for your potpourri packaging.
