Stand Up Food Pouches are a type of flexible packaging bag that can stand upright, formed by heat-sealing composite film materials. The bottom of the bag is designed with a special structure to provide support, ensuring stability when displayed on shelves or used in e-commerce packaging. This type of packaging offers excellent visual presentation space, allowing brands to easily incorporate patterns, text, and colors onto the bag. Stand Up Food Pouches are widely used in the food industry due to their lightweight structure, which facilitates transportation and storage. The bags can be produced in roll film or pre-made bag forms to meet the requirements of different packaging machinery. Common material layers include PET, PE, NY, VMPET, and RCPP, which are combined through lamination to meet the barrier, rigidity, and heat resistance requirements of different products. This type of bag is compatible with various sealing methods and meets the packaging needs of some dry goods, granular materials, baked goods, and pet food, making it one of the most frequently used solutions in modern flexible packaging.

Stable and Upright

Stand Up Food Pouches feature a precisely molded bottom gusset structure, giving Dog Treats Stand Up Food Pouches excellent self-standing capabilities for display and presentation. The bottom typically uses a SUP or Flat Bottom style, with a structural strength of approximately 18–22N, providing stable support for granular contents such as pet treats. Using composite PET/PE or PET/VMPET/NY/PE materials, the bag thickness is maintained in the 90–150μm range, ensuring sufficient rigidity while remaining lightweight, thus improving shelf appeal and consumer attractiveness.

Excellent Barrier Properties

Dog Treats Stand Up Food Pouches can be made with high-barrier structures such as PET/VMPET/PE or PET/AL/NY/RCPP, with water vapor transmission rates generally controlled to ≤2.0g/m²·24h and oxygen transmission rates as low as ≤2.0cc/m²·24h. This performance helps improve the freshness and stability of pet treats during storage. The aluminum foil layer and metallized layer can be adjusted according to aroma retention requirements, ensuring the packaging maintains its internal condition during long-distance transportation or storage, unaffected by humidity, oxidation, and light.

Food-Grade Safety

Stand Up Food Pouches use food-contact grade materials that comply with FDA and EU standards, such as PET, NY, and RCPP. Solvent-free adhesives are used between the composite layers, ensuring residual solvent content is generally controlled to ≤5mg/m², meeting industry safety requirements. Dog Treats Stand Up Food Pouches used for pet treat packaging effectively maintain the hygienic conditions of the ingredients, with stable heat-sealing performance and a heat-seal strength of ≥35N/15mm, ensuring high reliability at the seal.

High-Quality Printing

This type of packaging supports high-precision gravure printing technology, typically achieving 8–10 color printing, with color differences controlled within △E≤3, allowing for vibrant and vivid graphic effects. Dog Treats Stand Up Food Pouches perform stably with large color blocks and gradient images, with clear image edges. Materials such as PET have good surface tension (≥38 dyne), improving ink adhesion and making the packaging more suitable for brand promotion and shelf marketing.

Wide Range of Material Options

Stand Up Food Pouches offer a wide selection of material combinations based on product characteristics. For example, the soft PET/PE structure is suitable for lightweight products; the PET/AL/NY/PE structure is ideal for pet treats requiring high barrier properties; and the OPP/VMPET/PE material provides good rigidity and metallic luster, enhancing shelf appeal. Thickness can be adjusted between 70–160μm depending on product weight, making Dog Treats Stand Up Food Pouches compatible with highly automated bag-making and filling equipment.

High Process Adaptability

Dog Treats Stand Up Food Pouches support various customization options, including laser easy-tear openings, rounded corners, hanging holes, and resealable zippers. The zipper structure generally maintains a tensile strength of 10–14N, ensuring smooth opening and closing for users. The pouches are compatible with various vertical and horizontal packaging machines, enabling smooth filling speeds. Materials such as RCPP have a heat-sealing temperature range of 123–135°C, facilitating high-speed sealing and improving production efficiency.

Pet Treat Packaging

Dog Treats Stand Up Food Pouches are widely used in pet stores, pet supply supermarkets, and other settings for packaging products such as kibble, jerky, and freeze-dried foods. Stand Up Food Pouches have an excellent display form, keeping products flat and attractive on display shelves. Their barrier structure helps maintain the texture of the treats and improves shelf-life stability. The packaging is lightweight and easy for consumers to carry, and the zipper structure enhances convenience for repeated use.

Snack Food Shelf Area

In the nut, freeze-dried food, and biscuit sections of supermarkets, Stand Up Food Pouches enhance visual appeal through upright display. Dog Treats Stand Up Food Pouches, using a similar structure, also offer excellent display effects. The large printable surface allows for more complete brand information. The barrier properties of the composite material protect moisture-sensitive foods, ensuring that the flavor is not affected by humidity during storage, making them suitable for large-scale display and sales.

E-commerce Shipping Packaging
