Spouted stand up pouches, also known as spouted stand bags, are unique in the packaging industry in that they are made to hold and contain liquids of all sorts, syrups, dressings, gravy, and now beverages have noticed their convenience, cost savings potential, and just as important their environmental impact. Because of their design and attached pour spout, spouted stand bags aren't made with some of the other features of stand up pouches, like a ziplock or tear notches. Regardless, they are made strong and impact resistant with the ability to stand erect and effectively on a store shelf and protect the contents inside.
The purpose of this blog post is to complete 3 main points of interest anytime a client comes to us for spouted stand up pouches. Step one is to help them determine a size, being that they are packaging a liquid and liquid flows and moves versus packaging dry products in a stand up pouch. Step two is to help them find the right structure based upon their particular liquid. What is it made of? Is there oil in the product that might play tricks on the film? Is there alcohol or a chemical that could be caustic and destructive to the structure? Obviously there are more questions that need answered but the point of step two is helping our clients develop their spouted stand bag with the right film combination.
Today's post is the final piece of this three part series and here we will briefly discuss printing and spout sizes. As anyone can imagine, artwork can be very intimidating. How do I create my artwork? What format do I create it in? What colors do I have as options? The questions go on and on. Available spouts aren't quite as complex, but there certainly are decisions that need to be made based upon available sizes and features of the pour spout. Instead of going into great detail about any of these topics, we suggest you take a look at our Spouted Stand Up Pouch Fast Track. Here there are live links to our Artwork Guidelines, links to our available stock spouts and available but non-stock spouts along with so much more. We condensed any and all questions and info into this Fast Track to be a guide you can fill out and email for one of our associates to go over with you or just refer to as an initial knowledge base to help you get started.
Finally, we have compiled all of this information along with how spouted stand up pouches can build YOUR brand, increase sales, and save you money. This complete eBook is titled Liquid Packaging Using Stand Up Pouches...Compete With The Big Boys And Win!
