Surveys indicate that as many as seven out of 10 adults report wanting to reduce or avoid added sugars.  Stevia, a member of the chrysanthemum family, is the name of a sweet herb that is 200-300 times more sweet than sugar and contains zero calories.   Stevia doesn't cause cavities, a spike in blood sugar, doesn't feed microorganisms, aids in digestive processes and is otherwise completely safe.  Small wonder that its popularity* is on the rise and, as a result, so are stevia packaging needs. 

Stand up pouches, also called stand up bags or printed Mylar bags, are ideal for stevia packaging, whether sold in single servings or in bulk form.  Stand up pouches are made of scientifically formulated multiple layers of film laminated together.  This design protects the contents from moisture, vapor, odor and light, maintaining freshness within while keeping out things that might degrade stevia.

Stevia packaging comprised of stand up pouches is puncture resistant and durable, ensuring safe transport and long shelf life of the product.  Stand up bags are available with tear notches for easy opening and zip seal type closure for storage that prevents spillage while protecting against spoilage.

Stand up stevia packaging provides terrific marketing options.  Labels can be applied to the wide front and back panels or the entire package can be custom- printed with up to 10 colors.   The design folks can create to their hearts' content.

When it comes to store displays, stand up stevia packaging is in a league of its own because it literally stands on its own. And, in addition to standing up on the shelf,  these bags can also be hung from displays when using available hang holes.  

Although not related to what's in stand up stevia packaging, it should be noted that stand up bags are not only landfill friendly but are recyclable as well.

Given the versatility, convenience, strength and performance of stand up pouches, it's clear that they are the ideal form of stevia packaging, generating sweet results for the bottom line.  Interested in stevia packaging using stand up bags?

*Interestingly, Japan bans artificial sweeteners so it is the biggest market for stevia.
