Retail product packaging has come a long way, which is especially true when it comes to packaging liquid products.  Gourds and animal skins gave way to earthenware and stoneware vessels which, in turn, gave way to casks, tins and bottles.  Then the advent of plastics revolutionized retail packaging and continues to do so today. Just a quick glance at the food and drug industry for example shows countless examples of products that eventually could find their way to be packaged in a spouted stand up bag.

Packaging liquids presents challenges unlike those encountered for packaging other products.  Anything that contains liquids must be sturdy and able to retain it's shape; otherwise, you've got what is basically a water balloon containing a beverage, soap or solvents (a scenario not likely to end well).  At the very least, the container should also be puncture-resistant and have a stable base so that it can stand up.

 

 

Liquid stand up bags are a great way to transport, sell and store juices and beverages, water, soaps, detergents, cooking oils, solvents and almost any other product that comes in liquid form.  Liquid stand up bags are crafted by laminating together layers of technologically advanced film to create a barrier that protects contents from moisture, odor, vapor and, when necessary, rodents, pests and ultraviolet light. 

Not only do these bags keep things out, they also keep the liquid in, ensuring a longer shelf life for comestibles and chemical products alike.  Available with spouts and seal-tight caps, liquid stand up bags are convenient to use without worry over unwanted spoilage or spillage. 

Stand up pouches, also known as stand up bags and gusset bags, not only protect your product as well, if not better than, any other type of packaging, but they also serve to provide you with marketing options.  The wide panels of the bags create much printable real estate, suitable for custom printing (in up to 10 colors) or for affixing pre-printed labels.  You can even have the pouches designed to include clear film "windows", a terrific feature if your liquid product is visually attractive.

To address the concerns of consumers sensitive to environmental issues, liquid stand up pouch packaging is recyclable and landfill friendly.  Empty, they take up no more space than a small shipping envelope and weigh almost nothing.  This makes transporting them more fuel efficient per unit than other types of packaging as well.

Use stand up pouches with spouts and caps for liquid packaging and increased sales are sure to flow.
