Many boxes just sit on the shelf, why not stand out with the flexible Stand Up Pouch and display your product? Flexible packaging is durable, versatile, practical, convenient and, in many cases, recyclable (or at least landfill friendly).  Flexible packaging, especially those made from plastic film, are lighter and take up less space than boxes, cartons or cans.  This means that flexible packaging is more fuel-efficient to produce and transport per unit than other package types.

Stand up pouches have long been considered the standard in flexible packaging.  And now that there are side gusset stand up bags, the bar has been raised even further. Much like those previous incarnations, side gusset stand up bags are constructed by laminating multiple layers of specially formulated film together. This process results in creating a barrier that is both moisture and puncture resistant and protects the contents from vapor, odor and, if necessary, ultraviolet light, pests and unwanted oxygen (especially important when packaging seafood, for example).

Not only these bags keep the unwanted out, they keep the desirable, such as freshness, flavor, aroma and/or chemical potency, in.  Available zip seal type closures safely store, protect and preserve package contents, prolonging shelf life and thereby saving the consumer money. 

What makes the side gusset in stand up bags specials?          

• They require 12% less film but hold more product;

• They require less shelf space (in the store and at home);

• The flat bottom provides the ultimate in stability; it won’t flop over, no matter the size/weight of the contents

The side gussets create, in essence, a box like structure which provides more printable area on which to order custom printing or affix your labels, both of which help your product tell its story, thereby strengthening your brand.

Both clear film and opaque film are available (and so is opaque depending on your needs and the characteristics of your product.
