Stand up pouches are a flexible, inexpensive, and creative packaging method. Businesses can save further if they are aware of some essentials of stand up pouch packaging, of which three have been listed below:
 
(1) Know your product
 
It sounds simple; it IS simple. Learn about your product. Is it dry? Is it wet? Does it contain chemicals that may react with plastic? Does it need cold storage? How heavy will it be? Does it need food-grade packaging? Note down the answers to these questions and hand them over to the stand up bags manufacturer for a better and economical design.
 
(2) Pouch qualities
 
What pouch qualities are you after? Do you want your stand up bag to be made of transparent films, or metal foils? How much protection do you need? Will a typical stand up pouch work, or will you require extra layers to safeguard your product? Do you need accessories such as zip locks and tear notches?
 
(3) Design
 
Do you want a stock stand up pouch, or a custom printed stand up bag that will assist you in competing with the big boys? Do you have a design in mind? Or will you leave it on your stand up bags manufacturer to do the job for you?
 
With the answers to these questions in mind, you can have better pouches at a lower cost.
