Custom Stand Up Pouches for Flexible Product Packaging

IMH Packaging assists companies in selecting options that will suit their products as well as their storage needs. We provide custom stand up pouches which are a unique type of packaging that contains a bottom gusset allowing the pouch containing the product to stand upright.

The stand up pouches can be designed according to specific criteria such as prints or artwork, materials used, and closures needed. They can be applied to many products ranging from food, to snacks, powder or certain personal care items. Whatever packaging quantity is needed, we can assist in specifying it.

Stand Up Pouch Packaging for Retail Products

A stand-up pouch utilizes a small package shape but includes large front and back surface areas to include product labeling. It also expands at the bottom when packaged, keeping the packaging in an upright position in the display.

The choice of our pouch packaging can be considered based on the properties of your product including weight, volume and storage capacity. You may take into consideration the following benefits in your choice:

• Presentation on the shelves: It helps in the presentation of the product name, logos and printed design on the retail shelves.
• Flexibility: Pouch packaging allows the use of flexible laminate structures that are appropriate to provide the necessary barriers for a product.
• Re-sealing: Re-sealable zippers allow customers to open the product many times.
• Dimension flexibility: Dimension choice is determined by the volume of product and the need for filling and closing the package.
• Graphic design: Allows for communicating with the customer about the characteristics of a product through graphic printing.

Specification choice depends on the nature of a product and its use.

Custom Printed Pouches With Your Branding

Your custom print pouches will bear your logo, product name, colors and all relevant product information. Well planned artwork will help your clients recognize your products and yet have the relevant information readable.

The printing process is dependent on the material construction like Custom Mylar Bags, art work and method of printing. Ensure you are satisfied with the positioning of bottom gussets, zippers, seals and any visible windows in your artwork.

Factors to consider when designing your artwork may include:

• Your brand identity: You must maintain consistency in terms of your logo, color schemes and fonts within your product range.
• Product information: You should provide sufficient space for ingredients, directions, weight and labeling information.
• Art work finishes: Ensure you know the surface finishes which are available for your selected film.
• Artwork Window: Position an artwork window wherever possible.

A sample print out of the design should be confirmed before printing commences.

Stand Up Pouch Bags for Different Applications

Stand up pouches can be adapted for different types of products. Material and closure have to be in accordance with the product and not just by its look.

Products in Food Category

These stand up pouches can package suitable food products including nuts, dried fruits, snacks, coffee and other foodstuffs. Food Packaging materials must have properties suitable for this type of packaging.

Powder or Granular Products

The pouch can pack different kinds of powders, seasonings, and granulated products. Selection of opening size and proper filling technique must be done to reduce spillage. Avoid fine powder getting into the zipper area to function well.

Specialty Products

Suitable bath products, beauty items, and others can be packaged using stand up packaging. Liquid products, oily or moisture sensitive will need specific barrier and sealing tests.

Kraft Standup Pouches and Material Options

Kraft stand up pouches have a natural paper look that will be ideal for brands that require a minimal design. In some cases, the kraft packaging might employ a laminated inner construction to give the barrier performance that the packaging requires.

Laminated plastic films or metallic barriers can be easily used in other types of stand-up pouches for Beverage Packaging. This will depend on the extent of exposure to moisture, oxygen, light, and handling.

Some things to look at when comparing the materials include:

• Barrier performance: Always ask for the specifications for moisture and oxygen transmission in case shelf life is an issue.
• Compatibility of the product: Ensure the packaging is appropriate for the product and meets food contact requirements.
• Thickness of the pouch: Look for a structure that can handle the weight of the product.
• Recyclability: Ask if the whole material structure is recyclable in your area.

The kraft look does not necessarily imply that the stand up pouch is recyclable or compostable.

Custom Spouted Pouches for Liquids

Spouted custom pouches feature an aperture through which the liquids can be dispensed. The design of the pouch will depend on the type of product intended to be dispensed.

The size of the aperture, its placement, closure method and film construction have to correspond to the characteristics of the liquid.

Leak testing and seal validation processes are also part of liquid package design. If your product needs a spouted pouch, please indicate its composition, filling temperature and storage conditions during specification discussion.
