It is not color, size, or the type of materials used that together make a stand up pouch the best packaging medium for flour. It also takes certain qualities that combine to make a flour pouch bag easier to use, irrespective of its physical size and shape. All good flour packaging bags have these qualities, which are:
(1) Ability to protect
The best flour packaging does not compromise on security. It protects flour from moisture, dirt, and keeps it safe during transport and storage. Manufacturers can increase protection by using materials that resist ultraviolet (UV) rays. Addition of layers can make the packaging puncture resistant.
(2) Ability to attract consumers
Most manufacturers no longer use burlap sacks in retail. Stand up pouches with a bottom gusset are fast becoming the new norm because they can stand erect and provide an excellent surface for printing and artwork – both of which are essential for grabbing attention and attracting consumers.
(3) Cost
The most secure and attractive packaging is economically unfeasible if its cost is not negligible compared to the cost of flour being packaged. Here stand up pouches have a huge lead over other packaging mediums here, because they are the cheapest of the bunch and still provide ample security.
In the competition between burlap sacks and standup bags, sacks are left far behind. Try standup bags to package your flour.
