Description
Stand Up Pouch, also known as Doypacks is a packaging solution capable of standing on its own. Usually incorporated with a zip-lock closure to maintain the freshness of the product, the pouch has become increasingly popular in the market due to its flexibility and customizability, which makes it the go-to options for producers of household items, pet food, F&B industries and many more.
Unlike typical packaging solutions such as cardboard boxes and glass bottles, the Stand Up Pouch is a much economical and eco-friendly choice as it consumes a lesser amount of resources, resulting in a low manufacturing cost.
Properties of the Stand Up Pouch
The Stand Up Pouch is manufactured from several layers of barrier materials which can be classified into 3 main groups, each with its specific properties. These layers come together to provide the pouch with durable and puncture-resistant characteristics.
- Outer Layer: Enables graphic printing and carrying of advertising which allows companies to communicate brand messages and incorporate vibrant images to appeal to customers.
- Middle Layer: Functions as a protective barrier to ensure that the inner content is kept safe and fresh.
- Inner Layer: Functions as the most important layer amongst the three. This layer is usually FDA approved to allow safe contact between food and packaging. It is also heat-sealable to assure customers that the pouch has not tampered.
Additional features such as top holes, tear notches, zippers and spouts can also be incorporated to enhance its performance.
