Packaging liquids pose a number of challenges for the manufacturers. Traditionally, plastic and glass bottles were used to pack liquids. However, transporting these bottles was a huge challenge. These materials are heavy and bulky, and take up a lot of space.

That’s the reason why stand up pouches have become the best choice for packaging snacks, especially to pack juices and other drinks. Stand up bags and pouches consist of a barrier film that’s made of many layers which are laminated together. These bags are strong and durable. They also stand erect on the shelves, just like a plastic or glass bottle would, thus they display the brand name and logo effectively. Normal plastic pouches are unable to do that.

The pouches can be customized according to the company’s design. Thus, they look extremely attractive. Stand up pouches can be both transparent and opaque. Hence, manufacturers can display their product exactly the way they want.

But the benefits of this packaging design don’t end here. These packs are much more environment friendly than other packaging options. As the demand for eco-friendly packaging increases, stand up pouches have come up as a great option. They can be easily recycled and they use much less non-biodegradable material than other types of packaging.
