Stand Up Pouches and Bags

Standup pouches and bags offer an ideal solution for shelf storage and displaying consumer products. In most cases, they make products more appealing to consumers by replacing cumbersome tins and cans.

This style of packaging is incredibly versatile and can be used to package a number of different types of materials, such as nutritional supplements, pet food, household chemicals, and much more. Depending on specific product needs, standup pouches and bags can often be used as a replacement for non-structured packaging.

At Elis Packaging, we use standup pouches as a method of secondary packaging, making it easier to transport and display prepackaged items.
