Flexible Stand-up Pouches –lightweight packaging for the food and pet food industry
Mondi’s customizable stand-up pouches (SUP) are the ideal solution for food and pet food packaging, offering a good alternative to cans or aluminium trays. Stand up pouches are produced out of light-weight laminates and depending on the requirement of the product are made up of high barrier material.
A great variety of plastic pouches is available in different formats (eg single serve packaging) and for a number of applications (e.g. food pouch, pet food pouch, etc.). Retort pouches can be sterilised and pasteurised for food, pet food as well as non-food applications and are customizable in shape, design and special features.
The flexible concept of our printed stand-up pouches also gives you a wide range of presentation possibilities to choose from. High-quality rotogravure print or flexo print designs ensure an elegant, attractive appearance and catch the attention of potential buyers.
Stand-up Pouches:
light-weight and functional packaging
Compared to traditional cans pouches have less packaging weight per 100g of filled product and less shipping weight (3% of the filled product, as compared with 20% for metal cans). The drastic weight reduction of a stand-up pouch benefits both end-consumers and our environment with less waste, less carbon and less costs.
Thanks to the reduced retort time for a stand up pouch, the vitamins, minerals and the original taste of the meal are also preserved more fully. High-performance laminates ensure excellent barrier properties of the flexible pouch and keep content safe from oxygen, moisture and light. Microwaveable food packaging with features such as zippers for reclosability or laser perforation for easy opening ensure high consumer convenience.

- excellent barrier properties protect the content
