Here are five compelling reasons to use StandUpPouches.net's custom printed stand up bags instead of old and cumbersome glass jars for the packaging of your product.

(1) Manufacturing costs

A custom printed stand up bag costs between 15 and 20 cents apiece. Compared to other packaging options – 35 cents (folded cartons), plastic jars (45 – 50 cents), glass jars and tin cans (above 60 cents) – this is the least expensive of all packaging options available.

(2) Inventory and transport costs

One thousand of these custom printed stand up bags can fit inside a large carton. Compare this to the space required to store 1000 glass jars. Stand up bags save you money on inventory costs. This is true for both small and large businesses. As far as transport is concerned, a single truck can transport several times more of stand up bags that glass jars. This can save you a fortune on transport costs.

(3) Eco friendly

Environmentalists have been preaching the three sacred “R”s of saving environment for a long time. These “R”s – reduce, reuse, and recycle – are important for our environment.  The first R calls for a reduction of the energy and resources we use. Stand up bags pass this first test of being green. It takes less resources – energy and raw materials – to produce a stand up pouch than a glass jar.

(4) Brand making

The sheer variety of advertisement variations available in case of stand up bags is more than glass jars. StandUpPouches.net uses rotogravure printing, which brings colors to life and makes logos bold and clear. The front and back sides of a stand up pouch offer a large surface area which can be used to place logos and product information. This is not possible on glass jars due to their circular walls. Longer logos and strings of words get out of sight in glass jars.

(5) Customer friendly

Glass jars are unwieldy, especially if they are used to package items of everyday use. Try to pour a liquid or flour from a big glass jar, and then repeat the task through a plastic pouch with a spout or zip lock. You will notice a difference. Glass jars are fragile and heavy. They can easily break from handling and storage and cause a lot of mess. Stand up pouches are made from several layers of FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved food grade layers and polymers. Together these layers give them the strength to withstand rough handling and storage.
