When it comes to options for product packaging, there are many. Boxes, cartons, canisters, cans, jugs, bottles, and bags are the most common. However, not all packaging is, to coin a phrase, created equal. In fact, few packaging options are as effective, versatile, convenient and attractive as stand up bags and pouches.

Stand up bags and pouches are made by laminating together multiple layers of scientifically formulated (and, if necessary, food-grade) film, a process which creates a barrier that protects contents from (as needed) vapor, moisture, odor, light, air and/or pests. Stable, strong and puncture-resistant, stand up bags and pouches seal in freshness, flavor, aroma, nutrition and/or chemical strength (again, as needed), especially if you incorporate the available combination of pour spouts and resealable caps.

Stand up bags and pouches (also known as custom stand bags and Mylar® barrier pouches) are more environmentally friendly than most other packaging bags. While made from multiple film layers, they require less material to make than those other bags (up to 12 percent less). Less material results in less waste after disposal and also less weight which reduces the amount of fuel consumed during transportation. Stand up bags/pouches are a complete, self-contained form of packaging, so they require no inner liner or outer container to function effectively. This absence of additional material eliminates consumption of the energy normally required to manufacture, transport, store and dispose of extra packaging.

Stand up bags and pouches stand up on the store shelf. This means that your brand's product line will stand apart from the competition. Available round and sombrero-style hang holes offer a second product display option. The pouch design provides additional display opportunities. The wide front and back pouch panels accommodate your company labels or other stickers, the application of custom printing (in up to 10 colors), the use of clear film to build the pouch barrier, or any combination of the three.Because they do stand up, these pouches store conveniently in the home, the RV, cabin, even the beach cooler. In short, they provide stand out performance and outstanding value.
