As a manufacturer, there are many advantages of choosing stand up food grade packaging. Traditionally, food was packed in containers made of plastic, glass, and metal. However, these days stand up bags and pouches are fast replacing the old packaging styles. These innovative packs provide a low cost and efficient way of food packaging. It is also a long lasting option, which keeps the food intact for a longer time.

The biggest reason for the rising popularity of standup pouches is that they are very easy to ship and as compared to cartons, jars, and cans, they occupy much less space. Moreover, storing and shipping boxes and bottles is always a huge hassle as they require a lot of time and space. But since pouches are easier to handle, they make the process of maintaining inventory very convenient and affordable.

The truth is in the numbers. A plastic jar generally costs around 55 cents and a glass jar costs about 60 cents. But you can find a standup pouch for just 15 cents. These pouches are available in various designs and sizes. The 5ml barrier film in these packs provides complete safety to the contents of the pack.

Manufacturers can print the design and information on them according to their product’s requirement.
