One of the most common fears about stand up bags is that as they are made from plastic and use a large amount of ink printing, so they may not be safe to package food products. There is another widespread misconception that because stand up bags are made from plastic, they are not environment friendly. In this post, we will look at the likely myths that people have against stand up pouches. We will also see how StandUpPouches.net's custom printed stand up bags score on these likely issues:

(1) Contaminants

There is a falsely held belief among some people that because stand up pouches are made from plastic and use ink to place ads, logos, and other kinds of printing; they are unsafe for food packaging. The truth cannot be further from this statement.

Our custom printed stand up bags are made from food grade materials which is perfectly safe for food and beverage packaging. It is FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved, which means it’s completely non-toxic. So you can use standup pouches to store the product for as long as you want- it’s safe in there.

(2) Environment

As stand up pouches are made from plastic, people think they are not safe for the environment. The truth is that as a packaging medium, stand up bags are one of the greenest options. They are greener than tin cans, plastic jars, glass bottles, and several other popular packaging materials.

First, these bags consume fewer resources to be produced. The amount of polymers and other kinds of plastic used in the manufacture of plastic pouches is less than that used for plastic bottles and other packaging materials. Secondly, many thousands of these pouches can fit inside a truck. Therefore more of them can be transported with fewer trips, which results in lesser consumption of fuel and consequently less emission of carbon dioxide. Lastly, stand up pouches are landfill friendly. More stand up bags can fit inside a landfill than bottles, jars, and tin cans. This lessens the need to dig more landfills, and consequently more land is saved.

(3) Cost

Stand up bags are not expensive. In fact, they are one of the cheapest packaging materials currently available. Thus instead of further straining the capital of your business, they reduce your financial burden.

Considering all these points, standup pouches have possibly just one disadvantage: they are non biodegradable. But so are plastic cans and bottles. And if you talk about cardboard boxes, they are made from wood which comes from trees. In comparison, standup pouches are probably the greenest option.
