Spices.  From ajwain, alkanet and allspice to Szechuan pepper, xiang cai (Chinese for coriander) and za'atar, cooks all over the world use spices to enhance the flavor of a dish.  In fact, some wouldn't dream of preparing a meal without them.  And with over 350 different spices readily available to the consumer, clever spice packaging is a way to stand above the competition.

Although most spices can remain on the shelf for a fairly long time, shelf life is greatly diminished if they are not stored properly.  Stand up bags, otherwise known as stand up pouches or printed stand bags, are the ideal form of spice packaging.  Multiple layers of scientifically designed film barriers are laminated together, resulting in a durable, puncture resistant container which protects spices and seasonings from vapor, odor, moisture, oxygen and ultraviolet light.  Spice packaging stand up bags can be specifically formulated for different spices according to their individual nature.   And the more sensitive a given spice is to outside agents, the better the specific spice packaging must keep those out while keeping the potency locked in.

With available zip lock style closures, stand up bags provide exemplary protection, ensuring that the aroma and flavor are still there when needed.   Tear notches can also be ordered, allowing for easy-opening without damaging the integrity of the bag's storage properties.

When it comes to marketing, printed stand bags are terrific.  With wide front and back sides, they can be custom-printed in up to 10 colors, thereby creating a package almost as zesty as the spices contained within.

Stand up pouches are sturdy and stable enough to stand on a shelf so they make display a snap.  Stand bag spice packaging can also be ordered with hang holes to enable a hanging display.
