When it comes to sustainable packaging, Biodegradable Stand Up Pouches have become an industry favourite. Their versatility, efficiency, and low environmental impact make them an excellent choice for businesses looking to reduce their carbon footprint. But what goes into the manufacturing process of these pouches? Let’s take a closer look.
What are Biodegradable Stand Up Pouches?
These are flexible pouches made from biodegradable materials that decompose naturally over time. They are designed to stand upright, making them a popular choice for packaging a variety of goods, including food products, cosmetics, and more.
The Manufacturing Process
Sourcing the Materials
The process starts with the sourcing of biodegradable materials. These include plant-based polymers like Polylactic Acid (PLA), which are derived from renewable resources such as corn starch or sugarcane.
Extrusion
The materials are then heated and extruded into thin films. The film is later cooled and cut into sheets.
Printing and Laminating
The next step is printing, where the brand’s logo, product information, and any necessary labels are added to the pouch. The printed sheets are then laminated to provide additional strength, barrier properties and heat-sealability.
Pouch Making
The laminated sheets are then cut and sealed on the sides to form pouches. The bottom gusset is added to allow the pouch to stand up.
Quality Control
Every Biodegradable Stand Up Pouch undergoes strict quality control checks to ensure they meet the highest standards before they reach your business.
