When it comes to foods, there are certain functions required of packaging:
Protection. Food packaging pouches must protect the contents from (depending on the particular food item) vapor, odor, moisture, pests, pets, air and/or light.
Preservation. The packaging must ensure that the contents make it to, if not beyond, the "best by" date.
Convenience. Packaging must be convenient for the consumer to open, use and store.
Branding. Although not a must, food packaging should offer opportunities to distinguish a brand's products from those of its competitors.
Of course, food packaging comes in (literally) many shapes and sizes, a number of which meet most, if not necessarily all, of these requirements. None of them, however, meet the requisite standards like stand up food packaging pouches do.
Stand up food packaging pouches are the product of laminating together multiple layers of special, food-grade film to create a barrier that will guard your product from those things you want to keep out while it keeping in freshness, flavor, aroma and nutrition. Available zip lock closures enhance the ability of stand up food packaging pouches to extend the shelf life of food products.
Stand up pouches do, as the name suggests, stand up on the shelf. This permits your brand to fit conveniently into almost any space available in the pantry/kitchen cupboard or refrigerator/freezer. For convenient opening, tear notches can be included. And the zip lock closures, in addition to prolonging product freshness, are also the most convenient opening/closing mechanism available for packaging pouches.
Stand up pouches are also known as custom print pouches, Mylar® barrier bags and stand up bags, stand up on the store shelf as well. This permits your brand to stand apart from the competition and, therefore, more likely to attract the attention of undecided shoppers (reported to be one out of every two shoppers in a store at any given time). Wide front and back panels accommodate your labels or stickers, the use of clear film, custom printing in up to 10 colors or some or all of them.
Stand up food packaging pouches: Food packaging gets no better.
