By now, most people know what standup pouches are. Chances are, most consumers have one or more products in their homes packaged in a stand up pouch and, if so, they appreciate the convenience and versatility this packaging offers. What most consumers probably don't really think about, however, is the numerous other features that make standup pouches such a superior packaging choice.
Standup pouches protect contents from air, light, odor, pests, vapor and/or moisture, depending on the properties of the particular product. By laminating together multiple layers of special (and, if necessary, food grade) film, we are able to create a barrier bag that is strong, stable, durable and puncture-resistant.
Not only does the barrier protect contents, it also extends the shelf life of those with a "best by" date. Convenient zip lock closures not only preserve products, but they prevent spills. Optional tear notches make the pouches easy to open. And, for liquid products, available pour spouts and resealable caps lock in product freshness and prevent leaks and spills as well.
Also convenient is how easily stand up pouches store in a kitchen cupboard, garage, hall closet, RV pantry, bathroom, even the trunk of a car. Why? Well, because a stand up pouch actually does stand up.
One of the reasons stand up pouches are so popular with the manufacturers and distributors of packaged products is because of how well they present the brand. Because they stand up on the shelf, products packaged in stand up pouches stand out from the competition. Round and sombrero-shaped hang holes offer a second display option.
Perhaps even more impressive, wide front and back panels of a stand up pouch offer several branding opportunities. You have the option of affixing your product labels or other stickers, can order integration of clear film into construction of the pouch barrier, have custom printing (in up to 10 colors) directly applied or choose any combination of these options.
At the end of the day, a stand up pouch will meet your needs and the expectations of your customers.
