Just like clear stand up bags, metalized pouch bags also have some advantages and disadvantages. You can also opt for aluminum foil structures depending upon your needs.

Advantages:

1.    These are opaque and do not allow light inside, thus they’re good for light sensitive products
2.    Due to their opacity, the printing on the pouches is more visible and doesn’t require any underpriting
3.    They are cost effective and come with excellent barrier properties
4.    They are puncture resistant and have stronger film options than clear bags

Limitations:

1.    These are not see-through. Customers cannot see the contents that are stored inside before purchasing.
