2.Laminated Foil

The 200 g organic food stand up pouch is constructed with a multilayer structure of PET, VMPET, and LDPE films, offering a balanced combination of strength, barrier protection, and flexibility. This material structure provides effective resistance against moisture, oxygen, and external factors, helping preserve the freshness, quality, and natural characteristics of organic food products. At the same time, the pouch maintains good stability for attractive shelf display while supporting convenient handling, storage, and transportation, making it a practical and reliable packaging solution for organic foods.

Please note, all the film materials, inks, and adhesives applied in our flexible packaging are certificated human food safety. Then, let’s get into more understanding of each of the substrate films.

PET  is widely used in flexible packaging due to its excellent mechanical strength and visual performance. It provides good rigidity and dimensional stability, helping the pouch maintain its shape during filling, handling, and display. The high clarity and smooth surface of PET also support high quality printing, allowing clear and attractive presentation of branding and product information.

In addition, PET offers reliable resistance to puncture and tearing, enhancing the overall durability of the packaging. Its stable performance under various processing conditions makes it suitable for multilayer structures, contributing to consistent quality and protection for food products.

VMPET is a metallized film widely used in flexible packaging for its excellent barrier performance. The metallized layer provides strong protection against oxygen, moisture, and light, helping to preserve product freshness, flavor, and nutritional value over time. This makes VMPET especially suitable for organic and sensitive food products that require enhanced shelf life protection.

In addition to its barrier properties, VMPET maintains good flexibility and supports efficient lamination with other materials. It also contributes to an attractive packaging appearance by offering a uniform metallic effect, while helping improve overall packaging performance in a cost effective and lightweight structure.

LDPE  is commonly used as the inner sealing layer in flexible packaging due to its excellent flexibility and sealing performance. It provides good softness and elasticity, allowing the pouch to be easily squeezed while maintaining a comfortable user experience. LDPE also offers reliable heat sealing properties, ensuring strong seals and reducing the risk of leakage during filling, storage, and transportation.

In addition, LDPE has good moisture resistance and chemical stability, helping protect food products from external contamination. Its food contact safety and compatibility with multilayer structures make it an essential component in maintaining package integrity, freshness, and overall functionality.

3 Properties and Quality Assurance

3.1 Exquisite print quality

The artwork is printed through gravure printing on our rotogravure print press which can print up to a maximumly 10 colors. With advanced print techniques and a print defects inspection system, we are now outputting fantastic print results against customers’ artwork.

In our manufacturing plant, we take serious measures to achieve high color fidelity and consistency for repeated print orders, and here we will give an overall introduction.

a.  Color Analyzer

This color analyzer is one of the auxiliary tools in our system to achieve the highest standard for color fidelity. The eXact Advanced doesn’t just validate the color of CMYK and spot color inks, it can simultaneously measure four M modes to visualize the spectral reflectance of a substrate or ink, measure the concentration of a specific ink, and measure the difference of a substrate or ink over white and over black.

b. Pantone Color Code

The pantone color guide would be so helpful to locate a specific color for the printing service supplier and the customers, especially if there is a large area printed in single Pantone color. For many Pantone colors, the accuracy may be influenced by the printer, paper substrate, and environmental factors when it is printed onto physical photo paper. Pantone Color Code will be located in the artwork design with the customers before the order is put into production.

c. Physically Printed on Photo Paper

The computer files such as JPG, PDF, PSD, AI etc cannot be taken as the guide to determine the color in print produce, as they present the colors through electronic screening devices. And different electronic screens may be set in different parameters by the various manufacturers, which will inevitably interfere with the color presentation. Artwork can only be a reliable guide when printed on physical substrate, with the most common photo paper applied.

3.2 Great Mechanical Strength

The self-standing spout pouch will have to protect the 120 grams of Heinz-tomato-ketchup in a fine situation during transit and distribution. You can easily imagine what a nightmare it is when one of the standup pouch packages breaks and contaminates the surroundings.

We put the mechanical strength on the top list of our QC work, and there are serious measures and tests taken in our plant, to ensure each and every of the pouches delivered to the customer site is accountable.

Put simply, a drop test should be considered one of the most reliable ways to check if the spout pouch is robust enough for protection purposes.  Usually, we fill a certain amount of water into the spout bag, and drop it from a certain height, and see whether it breaks when the filled pouch reaches the ground. Of course, the height should be decided against the requirements of the customer’s needs.

3.3 Good Dimension Stability

As manufacturers and packers continue to enhance production efficiency through automated and high speed filling systems, dimensional stability has become increasingly important for 200 g organic food stand up pouches. We fully understand this requirement and continuously focus on precise dimensional control for each order supplied under long term cooperation, ensuring consistent performance during the filling process.

For a 200 g stand up pouch, dimensional tolerance is normally controlled within plus or minus one percent. With this level of accuracy, the pouch is well suited for smooth operation on most standard and high speed filling equipment used in the organic food packaging industry.

3.4 High Barrier Performance

This foil laminate is finished with a thin layer of aluminum, providing effective protection against oxygen, moisture, and light. Such barrier performance is especially important for organic food products, as it helps preserve natural freshness, nutritional value, and original flavor over an extended period, ensuring the product maintains its quality and integrity from production to final consumption.

3.5 Fantastic Standup Effect

With a reinforced flat base design, this stand up pouch offers reliable balance after filling and maintains a clean, upright appearance on the shelf. The well structured bottom enhances product presentation, helps the packaging stand out in retail environments, and strengthens brand recognition, contributing to greater consumer interest and purchase intent.

3.6 Great Mechanical Strength

This reinforced laminated foil can greatly protect pet food packages ranging from 100g to 5lb volume.

We perform various inspections and tests to check the mechanical strength of the finished pouch, like drop tests, hard sudden strikes, anti-pressure tests

• Tensile Strength
• Sealing Strength
• Anti-puncture Strength
• Burst Impact Strength
• Anti-pressure Property

The above tests are performed against each order, on customer requirements, and you may check the exact values of this foil material PET12/AL7/PET12/LDPE in the Technical Date Sheet part of this post.

3.7Excellent Zipper

The Inner Zipper is designed to provide reliable reclosure and enhanced airtightness for organic food pouches. Integrated directly into the pouch structure during production, it allows the package to be securely sealed after opening, helping to reduce air ingress and protect the quality of organic products. The zipper enables easy opening and resealing without compromising the overall structure or appearance of the pouch.

By maintaining good sealing integrity, the Inner Zipper helps preserve freshness, flavor, and nutritional value throughout repeated use. Its consistent performance supports everyday consumer convenience while ensuring stable package strength and improved protection against moisture and external contamination.

You can refer to the video below to see how smooth our zipper is.

4 Quality Control Measures

Serious quality control measures have been taken in our manufacturing plant, to ensure each order is finished meeting the requirements of particular customers. With more than ten years of working experience in this field, we finalize this QC manual standard, to make sure each order is produced following the correct procedure.

Here, please allow us to guide you further into our QC system.

4.1 Manufacturing Traceback

We apply a strict recording system to document the manufacturing details, such as environmental conditions, craftsmanship parameters, production facility conditions, etc, which allows us to trace back whenever there is a problem.

4.2 QC Test Report Against Each Order

There will be a QC test report issued against each order produced in our plant, with some main items of the properties tested and listed. This is an effective way to get the customers settled on their packages, and highly appreciated by our customers.

You may read here to understand the QC test report of this 120 grams Heinz-tomato-ketchup order.

4.3 Print Inspection

In our manufacturing plant, the print inspection is always taken and done in a serious way, as we will never allow the customer’s artwork to be achieved in a way that deteriorates their business. On our gravure print press, there is in-line inspection system that can eliminate more than 98% of the defects in the printing process.

You may check how it works on our control panel.

There is also a supplementary off-line inspection equipment, to allow us to do the print inspection again whenever it seems necessary.

We are now producing spout bags against customer artwork, and we surely love to support the startup and market-testing period for our customers. We will accept a minimum order quantity of 30,000 bags printed against customer artwork design.

4.4 Airtight Property Test

The finished spout pouch should be completely airtight, otherwise the product may deteriorate under the conditions of oxygen and moisture in the environment. The closure will need to be screwed tightly onto the spout during the filling process when it is done at the customer site.

Here, we apply airtight property test on this capped spout pouch under the minus-pressure environment, and this proves to be the most reliable way in our industry to check if the package is completely tight from the air.

You are advised to watch the video below for a further understanding on this test process.

4.6 Drop Test

Drop test should be considered as a very reliable way to check if the coffee bag strength is enough to meet the various conditions, as it copies the way when the products falls off the good shelves, and the finished bag will suffer great sudden shock. In our daily QC work, We perform drop test against each order, of course, the standard for this drop test should be decided against customer needs.

Here, we are going to drop the filled stand up pouch from 1.6m high, for 3 times.

You are advised to watch the video below, for a further understanding.

After 5 drops for each bag, none of them breaks,  all are fine and dandy.

4.7 Hard Sudden Strikes

Hard sudden strikes should be taken as a more fierce test method than drop test, as it causes much higher force on inflated packages.

Let’s watch the video to understand how we perform this test in our manufacturing plant.

4.8 Anti-Pressure Test

Pressure-resistance test is another effective method to decide if the final package will serve as great protection for the products, especially liquid products, like household detergent liquids, and windshield washer fluids.

The leakage or breakage of the bag will surely be a disaster, either for the distributor or the manufacturer.  We will never expect this thing happens in our customer’s business.

Sometimes, for easier and fast operation, we may just get one person to stand on the well-sealed and inflated coffee bag, to check if there is any burst of them.

4.9 Laboratory Tests

Laboratory tests are essential to keep us updated with the intrinsic properties of the foil materials which are not visible to the human eyes. It is crucial to gain a thorough understanding of the data about the production of our bags. The craftsmanship can be improved bit by bit to pursue premium quality bags based on thorough analysis and application of these data. You may check more of these tests in the Technical Data Sheet part of this post.
