About Stand Up Pouch Packaging

Stand up pouches and bags are called such because they have the ability to stand up on their own by design. Stand up bags feature a strong bottom gusset that creates a base to hold up the product.

Stand up pouches and bags are available in a variety of volume capabilities and filling weights. Functional enhancements can be incorporated into the packaging based on the needs of the application, including re-sealable zippers, tear notches, hang holes, and degassing valves.
