Aroma and moisture barrier stand-up pouch

The aroma and moisture barrier stand-up pouch gives an upright appearance to products for which changes in aroma and moisture content are an essential packaging consideration. Its transparent version can also be well designed for presenting crisps, dried fruit and biscuits. We produce the pouch to custom requirements, for smaller pack sizes that do not need to be resealed. We design the stand-up format and the necessary product protection based on the properties of the contents.

Moisture barrier matched to the product's texture

The movement of moisture affects different contents in different ways. For crispy crisps or biscuits, protection against ambient humidity can be the priority, while for dried fruit, retaining its own moisture content can also be a task. The moisture barrier structure limits the passage of moisture, and the aroma barrier serves to preserve aromas. We agree the required properties based on the recipe, the condition of the product at the time of packing and the storage environment. We also examine the two protection requirements separately and then choose a suitable design for the specific contents.

Stand-up format for shelf presence

The gusset formed at the bottom of the pouch allows upright display. For this, the size and the fill quantity must be coordinated, because the shape and distribution of the product also affect the position of the finished pack. Light, high-volume crisps and denser dried fruit may need different space for the same weight. We therefore determine the required internal space based on the actual goods. An upright sample pack shows how the gusset opens, how much of the front is visible and whether enough room remains for the top seal. It is worth adapting the size of the outer carton to the shape of the finished pack.

The role of the seal and the portion

The pouch is a version without a press-to-close closure, so the desired quantity should be planned together with use after opening. A proper initial seal is part of the protective task. With crumbly or small-piece contents, care must be taken that the sealing surface stays clean and the product does not get into the seal line. We adapt the packaging process to the chosen structure and the equipment. When assessing the planned storage, the condition of the product, the sealing of the pack and the environment all count together; the material selection relates to the task defined in this way.

Artwork designed around the visible product

With a custom company logo and printed artwork, the stand-up pouch can be adapted to the brand's identity. The transparent front can show the shape of the biscuit or the character of the dried fruit, while the print helps identify the product. On an upright pack, the gusset and the bending of the top section also affect the clearly visible surface, so we check the artwork in the filled state. The product name and essential markings should be placed where they are legible on the shelf, and the area showing the contents should deliberately remain clear.

To design the aroma and moisture barrier stand-up pouch, please give us the characteristics of the contents, the desired pack size and the method of display. On this basis, we plan the moisture and aroma requirements together with the sizing of the upright format, so that the finished pack suits both the storage and the sale of the product.
