Quality packaging is indispensable to companies in the health food business. This includes businesses that are into protein powders, supplements, nutrients, vitamins, minerals, or any other health food. In each of these cases, custom printed stand up pouch bags can help your health food stay fresh for a longer period through the use of barrier films.

We use scientifically engineered barrier films for our pouches. These films form an impregnable barrier against a range of hazardous environmental and human factors. Businesses can use several types of barrier film in their packaging, depending on several factors.

The primary factors include the type of product, its method of shipping, and its final destination – whether retail or industrial.

A layer of barrier films that works excellently for one product may or may not work well for another product. Some products may react with the barrier film while others might not. The product type is the most important consideration in creating flexible pouches that keep health food products fresh for a longer period.

The method of shipping plays an important role too. The packaging for products that will be ferried by a ship usually has different characteristics than the packaging for products that will be flown by an airplane. When the product has to be taken by the ship, we make sure that our packaging keeps it safe for long, and when it has to be taken by the air, we use special barriers so that the pouch doesn’t explode in the airplane.

The third important factor in designing creative food packaging for health food is the final destination of your product. The packaging for retail products is usually less robust and less expensive than the packaging for industrial products. A pouch intended for industrial consumers generally requires more layers of barrier film.

Once these three factors are properly understood, you can ask your stand up pouch manufacturer for more protection. Each barrier film in a stand up bag plays a definite function. Depending on your requirements, you can ask us to use more barrier films that protect your product against moisture, vapor, bad odors, and rough handling. You can also make your pouches puncture resistant.
