When you visit the supermarket, you see food and beverages packaged in various ways. Common packaging methods include folded cartons, plastic and glass jars, metallic tins; and in recent years, stand up pouches.
The greatest advantage of stand up pouches is that they occupy a minimal space as compared to traditional packaging methods. These pouches are easy to store and can be shipped flat. This makes them more convenient than other packaging materials and boxes. Since they occupy lesser shelf space, you can keep a large inventory – whether at home or in a store. On the other hand, metal tins, jars, and bottles take up a lot of space.
The low cost is another attraction. These flexible pouches are much lower priced than plastic jars. Based on the size and volume, the prices of these pouches vary – but they always prove to be the most cost effective packaging solution.
Folded cartons are considered a cheap packaging option. Standup pouches prove to be even more cost effective. When you’re ordering the production of cartons, the minimum lot size is quite high. This can increase your costs considerably. In case of standup pouches, you can get as few as 5000 printed at a time.
With so many advantages, it’s not surprising that many manufacturers opt for pouch bags – a really innovative packaging solution.
