Flexible packaging is universally popular among manufacturers, consumer goods packagers, product marketers, and end-users alike because it offers so many benefits. And just as the stand-up pouch was a milestone in the evolution of flexible packaging, a unique new 100% recyclable paper pouch is leading the transformation to super-green flexible packaging.
In the 1970s and 80s, plastic overtook paper to become the go-to in consumer goods packaging. However, as plastics dominated store shelves, then trash cans and landfills, enlightened consumers began demanding more eco-friendly packaging solutions. Today, paper packaging is competitive with plastic packaging thanks to increased fiber strengths and other innovations.
As a result, paper is revolutionizing the consumer packaged goods market, and the new 100% recyclable paper pouch has become a superhero in the flexible packaging arena.
For starters, these unique paper stand-up pouches are 100% sustainable because they are recyclable, biodegradable, compostable, and even repulpable. There are no plastic liners, metallic panels, cellophane windows, or gobs of glue in this super-green packaging option—so the pouches are as organic (and lovable) as many of the products they contain.
In addition, these innovative 100% recyclable paper pouches have undergone stress-testing, including holding water without seam separation. The super-strong pouches can be heat-sealed quickly and securely using a unique heat-sealable adhesive that is also 100% recyclable and compostable.
The eco-friendly paper pouches can be created with fiber mesh or paper mesh windows on the front, back, and/or sides of the pouch to offer a view of the product inside. The mesh windows also provide ventilation for contents that require it, such as certain grocery produce. In short, these lovable paper pouches offer a super-green complement to other creative pouch packaging solutions.
Our innovative paper pouch is an environmentally responsible packaging option that is quickly being embraced by packagers and consumers as a result of several important advantages.
