Stand Up Pouches for Product Packaging

Why Pouch Bags are So Popular for Packaging

If you haven't noticed that more products are being packed in stand up pouch bags, on your next trip to the supermarket, just take a look in the dry foods aisle. Instead of seeing nothing but cardboard boxes, you are probably going to see dozens of products in flexible food packaging. If those bags also have beautiful, crisp graphics, there's a fair chance that we made them. Nevertheless, if you don't happen to notice this type of packaging, expect to see more of it soon because stand up bags are one of the fastest growing segments in packaging and this is why:

  • Barrier films: This type of packaging makes it possible to use barrier films that keep the product fresher for longer, while also putting crisp custom graphics on every part of the bag. Clear windows are also possible along with spouts for liquids. Barrier film technology eliminates the need for extra bags inside a box, bottles, and other types of packaging.
  • Landfill friendly and recyclable: The small amount of plastics used in stand up packaging also makes them very suitable for landfills and they can also be recycled.
  • Very cost effective: As if the two advantages mentioned above weren't reason enough to use stand up bags for every product, they also cost less than other types of packaging.
