There are numerous positive outcomes for brands that choose to embrace flexible packaging, but let’s take a moment to focus on the ways in which pouches benefit consumers. We live in an age where people crave convenience, and a lightweight, reclosable stand up pouch with an easy-open tear notch is going to be much easier to open, close, and take on the go than a hefty box, jug, or jar.Pouches offer value to the end user because they keep food fresh and increase a product’s shelf life, and they reduce slack fill, a.k.a. difference between the actual capacity of a container and the volume of its product. People want to get the most “bang for their buck,” and trust is built when brands listen to consumer feedback and adjust their products and packaging accordingly.Another key reason companies and consumers both embrace flexible retail packaging is its positive environmental impact. Much less fuel is required to transport a truckload of flexible pouches than heavy glass jars, for example, which cuts down on carbon emissions. Contrary to popular belief, pouches can also be recycled with other R-7 coded plastics. Unfortunately, not every consumer recycles, and it’s up to brands to properly communicate the importance of taking care of the environment to their customers.

A stand up pouch is a type of packaging that securely contains products within a sealed pouch-like space. Sometimes referred to as doy packs, stand up bags, or standing pouches, they're used for products in just about every industry. They’re a flexible solution made up of one or several layers of high-quality materials that keep the products within fresh and safe from the outside elements. Some doy packs can stand up, others lie flat or have spouts, and some have characteristics such as bottom gussets, folded bottoms, flat, square or box bottoms or side gussets.

The recyclable kraft film stand-up pouch, with or without window, is made of a kraft paper and a PE EVOH PE film that satisfies the water barrier (10 g/m2 24 h water vapour 38°-90% RH) and oxygen (3 cm3/m2 24 h oxygen 23°C – 0% RH) requirements.Made of more than 51% paper (of French and European origin, PEFC certified), the recyclable kraft film stand-up pouch can be recycled in the paper recycling system in France.

A stand up pouch made from kraft material that is laminated to other layers of film IS recyclable and landfill friendly. To be clear, kraft — once it is laminated — is NOT biodegradable, but it is recyclable. There are many good reasons why these pouches are not biodegradable, and they have to do with how well the product inside is protected.
