Monday, January 23, 2012 by David Marinac

How?  By using spouted stand up bags to package your salad dressing.  These bags are constructed from layers of scientifically designed barrier film that are laminated together to create a puncture resistant, durable package which protects your salad dressing from odor, unwanted moisture and vapor.  Called, among other things, spouted pouches and stand up spouted pouches, these bags offer the ultimate in convenience and product protection
that ensures a long shelf life.  Given that today's consumers are perhaps more cost conscious than ever, an extended shelf life adds the type of value those shoppers are seeking. 



Quality of a product is, in and of itself, no longer sufficient to guarantee healthy sales.  spouted pouches for salad dressingConvenience, value, labeling and store display are now all key components of any successful marketing plan.  Spouted stand up bags integrate all of these factors. 

The bag design results in wide front and back panels on which you can affix your company labels.   In the alternative, you can order your custom designs to be printed directly onto the barriers in up to 10 colors.  If you like, you can combine both to create an even more eye-catching package and package multiple SKUs at a minimal expense.

Environmentally conscious consumers will be drawn to your packaging as well because spouted stand up pouches are recyclable.  In addition, the pouches compress to a size not much larger than an empty shipping envelope so they don't take up much space in a landfill.

Build Your Brown Rice BRAND Using Stand Up Bags

Tuesday, November 15, 2011 by David Marinac

brown rice packaging using stand up bagsRice is one of the most popular foodstuffs in the world.   How so?  Well, rice supplies as much as half of the daily calories of about one-half of the earth's population.   Yet, not all rice is created equal (or is that cultivated?).

Brown rice is the most nutritious form of rice available, produced by removing only the hull (outermost layer) of the kernel, thereby doing the least damage to each kernel's nutritional content.   Unlike fully milled, polished white rice, brown rice is not required to be "enriched" with iron and vitamins B1 and B3.  Of course, if your product is brown rice, you know this.  But does the consumer?  Have you been able to convey to shoppers that brown rice is nutritionally superior?  Have you been able to build your brand?

Although often overlooked, packaging is a great way to build brown rice in stand up bagyour brand.  If your customers come to identify innovative packaging with your brown rice, that packaging will itself become part of your brand.

Stand up bag packaging is a great way build your brand.    Multiple layers of scientifically designed barrier film are laminated together to form a stable base and wide front and back panels.  Also called stand bags, custom stand bags and Mylar™ print bags, stand up pouches keep moisture, vapor, odor and light (if necessary) out while locking freshness in.  And, by virtue of their design, stand up bags stand up on the shelf, thereby standing out from the competition.



Stand up bags further enhance your brand because they are user-friendly.  Easy to open tear notches and zip lock closures provide spill-free and spoilage-free storage, prolonging shelf life and life of the nutrients.  

If you want your brand to appeal to the 'green' consumer, you'll want to let him know that stand bags are recyclable and take up little room in a landfill.

Building your brand requires effective package branding.   You can affix labels directly on the front and back sides of each stand up bag.  Alternatively, up to 10 colors can be custom-printed on each side.  Or you can combine both methods.  Whichever you choose, you'll have ample space to provide company information, nutritional data and even advertising of your other products on your packaging.

In many places around the globe, "to eat" literally means "to eat rice".  By using stand up bag packaging, maybe that phrase will come to mean eating YOUR brand of brown rice.  Want to learn more?

Build Your Flour BRAND Using Stand Up Bags

flour packaging using stand up bagsFlour isn't something people think much about (unless and until they bake).  As a result, few know how many types of flour there really are.  Which is why it is so difficult to build your flour brand, to have the shopper look for your products to meet their baking needs.

How many types of wheat flour are there?  Let's see.  all-purpose, bread , high gluten, whole wheat, self-rising, cake,  pastry and vital wheat gluten.  And there are non-wheat types as well, made from rye, oats, and soybeans.

Also called stand bags, custom printed stand bags, and Mylar™ print bags, stand up pouches are a great way to have the customer associate innovative packaging with your brand.  Made from laminating together multiple layers of barrier film, these bags are durable and puncture resistant, keeping the flour clean, dry, free from odor and pests.  And, with available zip seal closures, stand up bags lock in vital nutrients, especially important when it comes to whole wheat flour which turns rancid quickly because of the high fat content contained in the wheat germ.

While your brand becomes associated with the unique qualities of stand bags, the design of the pouches enables you to reach out to the consumer in another way.  Because the bags have wide front and back panels, labels can be easily affixed.  Even more effective from a branding standpoint, you can custom print the bags in up to 10 colors.  Product data, nutritional facts, company information and even advertising your other product lines are all possible (and highly effective) due to the innovative stand up bag design.

Stand up bags have a stable base so they stand up on the shelf and, therefore, stand out from the competition.  In addition, available hang holes (round or sombrero-style) provide another display option for the retailer.

The 'green' consumer will come to identify your brand with environmental responsibility.  Stand up bags are not only recyclable but take up very little room in a landfill, allowing your customers to actually reduce their waste.
