FAQ
Packaging and Pouches
What is a Metallic or Foil Stand-Up Pouch?
Metallic and foil stand-up pouches are specially designed packaging solutions that provide high barrier protection to preserve the aroma, flavor, and freshness of the products inside. These pouches are made with an aluminum barrier and are heat sealable, making them ideal for packaging food items such as coffee, tea, powdered mixes, and grains.
What are the benefits of using metalized and foil stand-up pouches?
Metallic and foil stand-up pouches offer several benefits, including:
- Resealable Zipper: Keeps products fresh by allowing customers to open and close the bag multiple times.
- Tamper-Proof Safety Seal: Can be sealed using a heat sealer to ensure product safety and freshness.
- Convenient Tear Notch: Allows for easy opening the first time the pouch is used.
- Versatile Applications: Ideal for packaging non-refrigerated food products, including candy, chips, produce, powdered mixes, and grains.
- Color Options: Available in white, black, silver, and kraft to match your branding needs.
What sizes are available for foil and metalized stand-up pouches?
Our foil and metalized stand-up pouches come in a variety of sizes to accommodate different product needs, including:
- 1/8th ounce, ¼ ounce, 1 ounce, 2 ounces, 4 ounces, 8 ounces, 12 ounces, 16 ounces, and 4 pounds.
These options provide flexibility and versatility for packaging a wide range of products.
When should I use a foil stand-up pouch versus a metallized stand-up bag?
Choose a foil stand-up pouch if you need a high barrier to seal in aromas and flavors, making it perfect for coffee, tea, and other aromatic products.
Opt for a metallized stand-up bag when packaging non-refrigerated food products such as powdered mixes and grains that require a high barrier for protection and preservation.
Can I use these pouches for non-food items?
Absolutely! While metallic and foil stand-up pouches are ideal for food items, they are also versatile enough to package cosmetics, personal care products, and other non-food items that require protection from moisture, air, and light.
How do I seal the stand-up pouches?
The pouches can be sealed at the top using a heat sealer, creating a tamper-proof safety seal when leaving the factory. Once opened, the resealable zipper allows customers to securely close the pouch to maintain freshness.
General Questions
