Why choose metallised stand-up pouches?

Metallised stand-up pouches, also known as doypacks, combine strong product protection with a professional presentation on the shelf. Thanks to their stable base, the pouches stand upright on their own. This makes them practical for filling, storage, transport and retail presentation.

The main advantage is the barrier. The metallised layer protects sensitive products against external influences such as light, oxygen and moisture. This is especially important for products where aroma, texture or freshness plays an important role.

Metallised stand-up pouches are suitable for products including:

• Coffee beans and ground coffee
• Tea, herbs and spices
• Nuts, dried fruit and snacks
• Protein powders and food supplements
• Pet food and pet treats
• Non-food products that are sensitive to light or moisture

Compared with rigid packaging, stand-up pouches take up less space. They are lightweight, efficient to transport and easy to stack. This helps save warehouse space and gives you more flexibility when working with both small and large quantities.

Our range of metallised stand-up pouches

At PouchDirect, you can choose from different metallised stand-up pouches for a wide range of applications. Whether you need a small sample pack, a standard retail pouch or a larger pack, you can quickly find an option that suits your product.

Depending on the type, our metallised stand-up pouches are available with:

• resealable zipper
• one-way degassing valve for coffee
• tear notch for easy opening
• matt or glossy finish
• different colours and sizes

Our metallised stand-up pouches are supplied without a window. This is a deliberate choice. A window would interrupt the closed metallised barrier. For products that require maximum protection against light, a fully closed metallised pouch is therefore usually the better choice.

Packing freshly roasted coffee? We recommend choosing a pouch with a one-way degassing valve. This allows roasting gases to escape from the pouch while helping to keep oxygen out. For tea, herbs, spices, powders and snacks, a resealable zipper is often useful because the end customer can close the pouch again after opening.

Printing and personalising metallised stand-up pouches

Your packaging is often the first point of contact between your customer and your product. It should therefore do more than simply protect the contents. It should also represent your brand. At PouchDirect, you can have metallised stand-up pouches printed with your logo, brand colours or a completely custom design.

Our custom printed pouches are available from 5,000 pieces. Together, we determine the right size, material structure, colour, finish and additional options. This gives you packaging that performs well and professionally presents your brand.

Would you prefer to start with a smaller quantity? Order unprinted pouches from stock and personalise them with a label or sticker. This is a flexible solution for start-ups, test batches and seasonal products.
