These days, people are more concerned about the environment than they were a few years ago. More firms are adopting environment friendly ways to conduct their business. This trend has been spreading fast in the United States. One of the areas where companies are focusing is packaging. An increasing number of companies are adopting eco friendly packaging options. In this scenario, standup pouches are the first choice.

Stand up pouch bags are an environment friendly flexible food packaging method. These flexible pouches are landfill friendly. The amount of resources and energy that is required for making these pouches is less than that required for other packaging methods. Plus these pouches can be reused and recycled. Taken together, all these factors make stand up bags an environment friendly packaging option.

Besides being environment friendly, stand up bags are also inexpensive. In fact, stand up packaging is the cheapest of all other packaging methods. A typical custom printed stand up bag costs between 15 and 20 cents. This is less than half the cost of the next least expensive packaging medium. To compare, cardboard cartons cost more than 35 cents apiece and the per-piece cost of tin can may go over 60 cents.
