Today's retail markets are finding endless benefits to
using stand up pouches as they have maximized how products
can be displayed at retail stores. With the different types
of material structures available you can package food
products, liquids, chemicals, etc.
Pouches use much less material than other traditional
packaging methods like corrugated cartons or laminated
boxes. Pouches can be customized to fit any of your needs
but you need to understand why stand up pouches can be so
beneficial to your business. Once you really understand how
they are made, as they can be cheaper and run more
efficiently than you may think.
The first thing to remember stand up pouches is that they
are made up of co-extruded material from 3- layer, 5-layer,
7-layer, 9-layer or the material can be a single mono layer
and laminated with a number of other film structures from
p.e.t., nylon, metalized p.e.t., foil etc. They can be
printed any color up to 10 color line print to 10 color
process print with your logo or design, so the potential to
really make an impact on retail shelves is very high.
Pouches are made from a continuous web of material where
the first step in manufacturing process of a stand up pouch
happens when it goes through a set of plows that folds the
material into a w-shape guesset into the bottom so the
pouch will be able to stand up. Now if you want a
re-closable zipper as part of your pouch it is sealed on
the inside of the face of the web near the top edge of the
material. Re-closable zippers are the most common method,
but spouts, perforations, and other re-closable openings
are also available.
Once the gusset is formed vertical seals are then made
along the pouches side and the re-closable zipper is
pressed into the same area to seal the ends and flattens
out. The laminated pouch is then cut apart vertically
through the center of the of the side seals to create the
finished stand up pouch.
After the product is dispensed into the pouch it travels
thru the filling station where the re-closable zipper is
closed and the pouch is sealed above the zipper.
Stand up pouches are becoming more and more popular options
for liquids, dry chemicals, pet foods, personal care
products, granular products like cereal, sugar, salt.
The stand up pouch is very user friendly both for consumers
and to help reduce packaging cost.
