There are three compelling reasons to store rice in stand up pouches:
(1) Cost
Stand up pouches are inexpensive. They are less costly than all other popular packaging mediums. And when you order your pouches from StandUpPouches.net, we offer you the lowest packaging run in the industry, which makes our custom printed pouch bags affordable for even very small businesses.
(2) Longer shelf-life
Rice goes bad for two reasons - (a) fatty acids (b) moisture. White rice has very little fat in it, therefore it can last for several years if it is protected from moisture. The multiple layered structure of stand up bags provides an impregnable barrier against atmospheric humidity. Without any contact with moisture, the rice stays good for a long period. It is worth noticing that brown rice is an exception to this rule. This variety has plenty of good fatty acids. So even under the best packaging, it has a shelf-life of less than 18 months.
(3) Ease of use
Stand up pouches provide you ease of access. Consumers can access rice through spouts and zip locks. Resealable pouches eliminate the need to spend on expensive containers for long term storage. Their flexible sizes allow them to fit into any unshapely recess or cabinet. Pouches with hang holes can be hung on wall hooks. A transparent window lets consumers see the state of rice without opening the packaging.
