A stand up pouch is a type of flexible packaging designed with a gusset at the bottom that enables it to stand upright on store shelves. This makes it an excellent choice for products that need to catch the consumer’s eye while preserving product freshness such as snacks, pet food, and health and wellness items. Stand-up pouches often have resealable features like zippers or tear notches for added convenience.
Stand up pouches are used for food products, pet treats, powders, and retail items displayed upright on shelves. Their resealable features and large branding surface make them ideal for consumer products. A stand up pouch is a popular flexible pouch packaging choice for its convenience and shelf appeal.
Pouch packaging machines are being used for filling the flexible packaging with products. They come in various forms, including form-fill-seal machines, pre-made pouch filling machines, and spouted pouch fillers. Form-fill-seal machines work with roll stock to create pouches, fill them, and seal them. Pre-made pouch filling machines use ready-made pouches, filling them automatically. Spouted pouch fillers, often used for liquids, employ a nozzle to fill the pouch efficiently.
Unlike offset, gravure, and flexographic, digital printing offers a much quicker turnaround time, the ease of changing design, short runs preventing obsolescence and excessive inventory, and sustainable printing methods. Willowpack manufactures flexible packaging on a highly-productive HP Indigo 200K digital press which prints on virtually any substrate, has an energy-efficient drying system, ensures an accurate, repeatable color-to-color registration and fast color matching, and also enables hyper-personalization, randomization, counterfeit prevention, tracking from cradle to grave.
Stand-up pouches are a versatile option for snacks, pet food, and health and beauty products because they’re eye-catching, air-and-moisture resistant, and shelf-ready. To determine if this packaging suits your needs, consider factors such as product weight, shelf life, and the necessity of features like resealable zippers or tear notches.
Lay flat and stand up pouch packaging serves food and beverage, pet food, health and wellness, and cannabis industries. Its ability to preserve freshness and provide branding space makes it a preferred choice. Our flexible packaging solutions meet the specific needs of each industry.
Stand up pouches and lay flat pouches have distinct characteristics in flexible packaging. Stand up pouches have a bottom gusset that allows them to stand upright on shelves, making them ideal for retail display. Lay flat pouches are sealed on three sides without a gusset and are intended for laying flat on a shelf or being hung from a peg hook. Lay flat pouches are often used for single-serve portions, samples, spices, supplements, and cannabis products. Stand up pouches offer better shelf presence, while flat lay pouches are more compact and suitable for products with lower volume. Both types can be customized with various closures to suit your specific product needs.
Yes, custom mylar pouches are highly suitable for food packaging and widely used for packaging items like dried goods, snacks, and coffee. They offer an airtight seal that protects food from moisture, light, and oxygen, extending the product’s shelf life. These qualities make Mylar pouches ideal for packaging cannabis and CBD products. Flexible packaging companies often customize these pouches with branding, nutritional information, and other product details.
The choice between mylar bags and vacuum seal bags depends on your storage needs. Mylar bags offer an effective barrier against light, moisture, and oxygen, making them suitable for long-term storage and the storage of delicate products, like cannabis or light-sensitive spices or supplements. Vacuum seal bags remove air to prevent spoilage. They are ideal for preserving food freshness in the short term. Flexible packaging companies recommend mylar bags for products needing airtight, light-resistant packaging.
Child-resistant pouches and mylar bags are a type of flexible packaging that includes special closures like child-resistant (CR) zippers. These features make the bags difficult for children to open and enable a brand to comply with child safety regulations. Flexible packaging manufacturers like Willowpack produce these bags to store medications, cannabis products, supplements, and other products that may pose a hazard to children.
While pouch packaging offers numerous benefits, it does not provide the same level of protection as rigid packaging for fragile items. Additionally, multiple layers of material and finish used to create the pouches can impact recyclability. Some consumers may also find flexible packaging less suitable for premium products compared to traditional boxes or glass containers.
