Businesses ultimately turn to using stand up bags because they are more convenient and less expensive than other options. It is not uncommon to find a business using a paper bag with a label on it for food and beverage packaging. When a business is very small, it does not usually sell more than a few dozen items a month. So the option of paper bags makes sense as it is the least expensive option to pack things at home and then glue a label on it. But as the business grows, home packaged paper bags with a label no longer remain a feasible alternative. The job becomes labor intensive, and mistakes start to happen – someone may not put the labels properly, or a few paper bags may get torn accidentally. When such mistakes result in losses, it is time to make a switch. At this stage, most businesses switch to stock stand up pouches.

Stock stand up pouches are an attractive option for a business that has just started to grow. These pouches are cheap, and they can be used to package a variety of products. Unlike paper bags, stock stand up bags can bear some rough handling. But like paper bags, they have a catch – label pasting. The labels have to be pasted at home and when there are a lot of labels to be placed, things start getting a little dicey – you find bubbles in the packaging, the labels may not be pasted properly and it begins to cost more and more to hire someone to paste the labels on stock stand up bags.

A way out of this uncertainty and budget overrun is to use custom printed stand up bags. These bags come with a high-quality print label and they provide a flexible food packaging option. This custom printing of your brand and product information in bold and clear letters increases the attractiveness of your product, increase sales and help build a brand. These bags are not very expensive and the minimum run is low too. A custom printed stand up bag costs approximately 15 cents apiece, which is less than half of the price of its nearest competitor – the folded carton (35 cents apiece). At the same time the minimum print run of custom printed stand up pouch is merely 5000, which is probably the lowest in the industry.
