Stand up pouch bags were first used by a juice seller Capri Sun in the 1960s, when the term “global warming” was still not in vogue.

Currently the environment is a big concern for all of us. For American businesses, a bigger concern is the increased competition from Asian and European manufacturers. This has led many businesses to look for newer and more sustainable ways of packaging that increase sales and that are environment friendly.

Pouch bags are made from several layers of plastic. The amount of plastic that goes into the manufacture of stand up pouches is minuscule as compared to the amount used in other packaging mediums such as glass jars. If you move to stand up pouches, it would reduce the resources that go into the packaging of your products. These flexible pouches are also reusable and recyclable.

It is impossible to publish expansive artwork on bottles, jars, and boxes. Their cylindrical and cuboid-shape surfaces do not allow for much creativity. In contrast, stand up pouch bags come with two large surfaces that businesses can use to tell their story, communicate with their customers, and to boost sales.

Stand up pouches are probably the only packaging that is inexpensive and environment friendly, and increases sales.
