Standing Tall in Standipack Packaging

1. Standing Tall in Standipack Packaging Across the world, the stand-up pouch with re-closable zipper is hogging space on retail shelves. It is an extremely practical and robust packaging which is gaining in popularity for a broad range of products, including powder, granulate, chunky products, nuts, snacks, pastes and liquids. The re-closable zipper provides additional convenience as consumers can remove as much of the contents as required and re-seal the bag.
