There are 3 main problems that printed stand up bags and pouches solve for any size customer, regardless of the industry that they are in. One, printed stand up pouches protect your product. Whether your product is a food item, something for pets, non-food, or even a liquid where you need a pour spout, printed stand up bags and pouches will protect like no other packaging solution. Stand up bags and pouches, also known as stand up bags are made from laminated barrier film laminated together to create the barrier properties to keep the contents fresher for longer while at the same time providing the strength for the pouch to stand erect on a store shelf.
Printed stand up bags and pouches help you compete. Small companies can get their product on a store shelf right next to the big boys in their industry with packaging as good as if not better than the larger companies. Printed stand up pouches are universally accepted at major retailers such as WalMart, Whole Foods, Target and more. Larger companies are able to custom print stand up bags and pouches in quantites that work for them...meaning if they want to trial certain flavors or versions they can print high quality stand up bags with much smaller minimums than other types of packaging. Then when/if that version becomes popular and grows, higher volumes can be run without a redesign or updated packaging needed.
Finally, printed stand up bags and pouches help companies build their brand. The wide face and back of a stand up pouch provides generous amounts of room for the custom printing to tell the story of the company and the product inside, why it is so great, long lasting, good for you, etc. Stand up pouches can be printed up to 10 colors in bold, crisp, photographic quality and are available with features ranging from ziplocks and tear notches to gas release valves and pour spouts.
As a bonus that many people don't realize, stand up bags and pouches, printed or plain, are recyclable and landfill friendly. That's right, stand up pouches can be thrown away and they also can be recycled and ground back up to be used as filler for other types of plastic products. Because of the lamination of different layers, the recycle code for printed stand up pouches normally an R7.
So consider printed stand up bags and pouches for your product, regardless of what it is. Your product will be protected on the inside and look just as good on the outside.
