Stand-up Spout Pouches: A Modern Flexible Package
As a modern flexible plastic package, the stand-up spout pouch has stood out in the packaging market for its compactness compared with other containers, its effective presentation, its novelty and interest, and the fact that it can be folded and recycled. Its appeal lies both in how it looks on a shelf and in how it behaves in the hand.
A stand-up pouch is flexible packaging with a horizontal supporting structure at the bottom, so it can stand on its own without leaning on any support, and it can be displayed upright with nothing to hold it up. It comes in several formats, and can take a zipper or a straw. Because the bottom is a horizontal support structure, it can also be folded as required.
The stand-up spout pouch offers advantages in raising a product's image, in light and easy carrying, in freshness retention and in sealing performance. The pouch is pressed from PET and various other material structures, and an additional protective layer can be added as required to extend its freshness-retaining effect. The material structure is what carries these advantages, and it can be arranged to suit the product inside.
In application, stand-up pouches are widely used for juice drinks, sports drinks, jelly drinks, suckable jelly, condiments and more. Besides wide use in food packaging, they are also used to pack washing products, household goods and cosmetics. Food and non-food uses sit side by side, which is unusual for a single pouch format.
One could say that it brings a structure that can stand and an opening that can be sucked from onto the same bag, striking a balance between shelf display and convenience in use — which is why more and more product categories have accepted it, and why it keeps turning up in places where a bottle or a jar once stood.
