Tea is a beverage that suits Americans to...well...a "T". Some like it hot, some like it cold and some prefer it over coffee. There are almost countless varieties of tea available, from the most familiar (e.g. Earl Gray, English Breakfast) to the most exotic (the range of Chai blends, for example). As a result, store shelves are packed with choices and not only are coffee shops carrying more tea offerings, specialty teas shops are also popping up.

Of course, increased popularity means increased competition which, in turn, means greater challenges to your efforts to distinguish your brand in the marketplace. Every edge must be utilized, every advantage taken. Packaging, for example, provides a myriad of ways by which your brand can stand out on a store shelf. And the stand up pouch for tea packaging is perhaps the best way to make that happen.

A stand up pouch for tea is built from multiple layers of specially-formulated, food-grade film that is laminated together to create a barrier pouch that protects contents from pests, odor, air, vapor and moisture. This barrier will also generate greater customer satisfaction because it preserves the shelf life of your teas (whole leaf, bagged or powdered mix) by sealing in freshness, flavor and fragrance. An optional zip lock feature enhances the pouch's capability of extending your brand's "best by" date.

Of course a stand up pouch for tea stands up so it stands apart from other types of packaging. Given that a round or sombrero-shaped hang hole is also available, grocers, tea shops and other retailers are provided with a second product display option.

Your brand's display options are also a by-product of the design of a stand up pouch for tea. You can choose from among the following: 1) Affix product labels and/or promotional stickers; 2) Order custom printing in up to 10 colors tailored to your exact specifications; 3) Integrate the use of a clear film window; or 4) Combine any or all of these features.

When it comes to packaging tea, a stand up pouch for tea is an outstanding choice.
