Although that name might sound confusing for those not in the packaging business, believe us when we say that this is an exciting new type of packaging for cereal, granola, and other dry foods. Basically, this type of [flexible food packaging](https://www.standuppouches.net/help/articles-on-stand-up-pouches/) somewhat mimics the shape of a cardboard cereal box while also reducing costs and keeping the product fresher for longer. It also has the following advantages: - **Saves space**: The flexible nature of this packaging saves a lot of space in the warehouse and on supermarket shelves. - **Uses less film and packaging materials**: Since more product can fit into a smaller area, less materials are used. This lowers costs and also reduces landfill space (although our bags are also recyclable). - **Five sides for high quality branding**: Sharp graphics, bright colors, and the story of your brand can be shown on five different surfaces of the bag. - **They have a ziplock**: Since these bags also have a ziplock, they keep the product fresher for longer periods of time after the bag is opened and are more user friendly. **To learn more about how our [stand up packaging](https://www.standuppouches.net/contact-us/) can help sell more of your product, please see our site and reach out today.** ## CONTACT US Fill out the form below, and one of our team members will contact you.
