There is a reason why brands are ditching rigid packaging and turning to flexible stand up pouches to better promote, protect, and drive sales of their products—in fact, there are eight. From production to purchase, stand up pouches offer multiple benefits to both manufacturers and consumers. Here are the eight advantages of stand up pouches our customers enjoy the most:
Flexographic printing for flexible packages is the most versatile of all package printing options, and can create stunning HD graphics for your stand up pouch. Flexographic printing offers the most precise ink control and solid lay-down on a wide range of films. In combination with this advanced printing technology, stand up pouches can offer your product the best, most eye-catching graphics on the shelf.
Stand up pouches can be produced in a variety of shapes and sizes. Consumers are most familiar with the standard pouch—a round-bottom-gusset bag that folds flat when empty. Other options include box pouches, K-sealed, quad-sealed (two side gussets and four vertical seals), and more. Stand up pouches can even be die cut into custom shapes to really stand out on the shelf.
Switching to stand up pouches (and flexible packaging in general) is a no-brainer if you’re looking to reduce the cost of materials. Rigid packaging costs three to six times more per unit than flexible packaging. Printed folding cartons cost around twice as much as flexible packaging. Simply put, choosing stand up pouches over a rigid alternative will mean much-improved profit margins for your business.
Stand up pouches also offer significant cost savings in distribution. Depending on the pouch and the original packaging solution, you can fit five to ten times the number of units in a single truck using fewer pallets. Since the packaging is also lighter, the fuel cost per truck is lower. You can store more of your product in less space, and it takes less time and labor to move it around.
Consumers value convenience, so you can add value to your brand with stand up pouch features. Resealable closures help extend the life of food and create a better customer experience with your product. You can choose from press-to-close, zip lock, or hook-to-hook closures to add convenience to your pouch. You can also choose laser perforation, transparent windows, handles, and spouts. Stand up pouches can also be made steamable, so consumers can enjoy the added convenience of preparing their food in the microwave without having to remove it from the bag.
Stand up pouches can keep food fresher for longer, and provide excellent barrier control to protect against the elements. Puncture-resistant films can be used to safeguard your products during transport, and a number of specialty films can provide extra protection against moisture, contaminants, UV rays, and more.
With a wide ranges of shapes and sizes available and stunning HD graphic capabilities, stand up pouches easily stand out on the shelf. The biggest benefit of stand up pouches in terms of shelf impact is simply the amount of real estate manufacturers now have to work with—the largest printable surface of the package stands up and faces the customer. This allows your product to compete in ways that products in lay-down bags and smaller rigid containers can’t.
Stand up pouches are better for the environment. Flexible packaging in general uses fewer materials and less energy and water to make, and fewer volatile organic compounds are produced as a result. In addition to cost savings, their lighter weight and more compact size save on fuel emissions during transportation. Any non-recyclable materials used take up less space in landfills than their rigid counterparts. Stand-up pouches can also be recyclable or biodegradable without compromising on safety and quality, using innovative SmartPack™ and SmartPack-BDG™ technology.

A resealable package allows customers to open and close the same pouch multiple times to use a product. For example, breakfast sausages might come in a pack of eight, where the consumer can take away four and reseal the pouch to keep the rest of the sausage fresh for the next use. Whether you’re working in the food industry or selling other products, there are multiple advantages to using resealable pouch packaging for your products.
A goal for your packaging should be to make it as convenient as possible for your customers. And it doesn’t get more convenient than resealable packaging! These pouches are easier to use and reseal. Furthermore, they minimize the need for an additional container after opening the package. For example, when you open a package of cheese, it could go bad in the fridge due to the package being open and exposed to air. But with resealable packaging, you won’t need another container to keep the cheese fresh, and you can easily reseal the pouch so that the food lasts longer.
In today’s world, less means more! The same goes for packaging, and resealable pouches can do just that! Consumers are looking for products that don’t take up lots of shelf space. This makes products in compact packaging sell well. For instance, if you make undergarments and bundle a few products into the same resealable pouch, you’re allowing your business to sell more products, adding value to the undergarments and saving your customers from multiple trips to the store.
If you’re packaging food products, you can increase the shelf life by utilizing custom pouch packaging. As we said before, leaving an open package in your fridge will increase the speed at which your food goes bad. Resealable packaging will close the pouch and keep any contaminants from getting inside and making the food inedible. In turn, this keeps food waste to a minimum, which is better for our environment!
A lot of the time, the packages we see on our store shelves are solid in color and don’t display the physical product but the box it’s in. However, resealable pouches are often in clear packaging that allows your customers to see exactly what they’re purchasing before bringing the product home. While your design and graphics on the pouch can still encompass your brand, the translucent sides showcase your product itself.
There are various materials you can use for resealable pouches. Choosing recyclable materials can boost your sustainability and impact the environment. You might choose a biodegradable pouch or a plastic that’s easy to recycle to let your customers help the earth!
As you can see, there are plenty of advantages to resealable pouch packaging that could benefit your business. Next time you’re redesigning your packaging or introducing a new line of products, remember these advantages and consider using resealable pouches!
