What is a stand up pouch?

Stand up pouches are considered the most popular, durable and flexible choice of packaging solutions thanks to their convenient resealable closure and expanding gusset features.

 

Stand Up Pouches are sealed with a resealable zip lock and Spout Pouches are sealed with a resealable screw cap, both allowing multiple opening and closing to keep the contents as secure and fresh as possible between uses.  The flexible gusset design allows for the pouches to be stood up for convenient appealing presentation of your products using minimal space.

 

We don’t have to tell you how popular stand up packaging is, just a quick browse of a local store, supermarket or garden centre is evident enough.

Are stand up pouches right for you?

Resealable stand up pouch packaging is often chosen as a reliable way to store a multitude of contents such as Confectionery, Spices, Protein powders, Health supplements, Snacks, Coffee, Tea, Pet Food, Beauty, Salts, Herbs, Dried fruit, Pasta and Grass seed to name a few.

Resealable stand up spout pouches are a popular choice for products that need to be poured or easily squeezed due to their durability and flexibility, ensuring that all the contents are extracted avoiding waste, such as liquid based contents like juice drinks, shakes, soups, stock or thicker consistency contents such as gels, creams and purées.
 
The bags are constructed with food grade materials and provide an excellent barrier to protect your contents from moisture, oxygen, UV light and odours.  Stand up pouches have a header above the press seal zip lock which can be heat sealed to provide a tamper evident environment.  For initial opening, just tear open the bag using the conveniently located tear notches either side and reseal the bag by pressing the press seal zip lock fastener.  Spout pouches are supplied with a resealable screw cap featuring a tamper evident seal.
 
In addition to their versatility, Stand Up packaging is often favoured for their reduced environmental impacts due to its lightweight composition compared to jars, bottles and tins for example.  This allows them to be easily transportable, whilst lowering carbon footprints resulting in lower shipment costs and they store flat which benefits customers with limited storage facilities or otherwise allows for greater production levels.  A popular choice for both consumers and businesses looking for convenient and environmentally friendly packaging.
