While technological advances have certainly improved brought improvement to the industry, there are certain packaging features that are not necessarily a function of technology, features such as convenience and versatility. And not all packaging is appropriate for all types of products. Boxes, for example, are poorly equipped for liquid contents. There is, however, one type of packaging that is convenient, versatile and suitable for virtually all product types: Stand up [plastic pouches](https://www.standuppouches.net/pouches-for/your-product/). A stand up plastic pouch is made from specially-formulated (and, if necessary, food-grade) plastic film that is laminated together to form a strong, puncture-resistant barrier. Each pouch is made to protect its contents from (when applicable) light, air, odor, pests, vapor and/or moisture.     The pouch barrier not only protects your products, it will extend the shelf life of those that carry a "best by" date. Zip lock closures (dry) and pour spouts and resealable caps (liquids) are available, both of which not only help preserve product freshness but prevent leaks and spills as well.

Strong and durable though they may be, stand up plastic pouches are still flexible enough to slide easily in a purse or backpack for those products consumers take on-the-go.
