Recyclable stand-up pouches for food, coffee, supplements, and pet food
Choosing the right stand-up pouch for a product is sometimes more complicated than it seems. A stand-up pouch that doesn't fit your product properly can jam on the filling line, open poorly, or offer insufficient protection against oxygen and moisture. Problems often only become apparent during production.
PurePack helps brands create custom stand-up pouches. We advise upfront on the correct choices for film construction, size, barrier properties, finish, and processing. This prevents problems from only becoming apparent once the packaging is on the filling line.
Practical example: how PurePack helped prevent lost productivity with recyclable stand-up pouches
A brand wanted to switch to recyclable stand-up pouches, but encountered problems with processing and sealability during production. Due to the properties of PE film, more static charge was generated and the pouches were less stable at higher speeds. PurePack advised on film composition, anti-static additives, and matte inks that were more processable on the filling line than the current film. Additionally, samples were tested for size, processing, and settings of the filling line.
The result was a recyclable stand-up pouch that worked better on the production line. This prevented the brand from incurring extra spoilage, delays on the filling line, and unnecessary waste of recyclable packaging.

When choosing a custom stand-up pouch, you should consider the following:
Many problems arise because a stand-up pouch is primarily chosen based on appearance or price, while processing and product properties are at least as important.
These factors, among others, play a major role in the event of a power outage:
- oxygen and moisture barrier
- sealing on the filling line
- Static properties of PE film
- Format and fill volume
- Matte gloss finish
- Recyclability according to PPWR guidelines
- Stable processing at higher production speeds
An incorrect combination of material, thickness, or finish can lead to downtime, increased rejection rates, and higher production costs.

Get free packaging advice for your productDe meest voorkomende problemen bij recyclebare stazakken zijn: * **Verontreiniging:** Voedselresten of andere materialen kunnen de recyclebaarheid van de zak verminderen. Zelfs kleine resten kunnen problemen veroorzaken in het sorteer- en recyclingproces. * **Niet-recyclebare componenten:** Sommige stazakken hebben componenten zoals ritsen, kleppen of metalen onderdelen die niet gemakkelijk kunnen worden gerecycled, of die het recyclingproces kunnen verstoren. * **Laminering:** Veel stazakken zijn gelamineerd met meerdere lagen plastic om ze sterk en luchtdicht te maken. Het scheiden van deze lagen is complex en duur, waardoor ze vaak niet recyclebaar zijn. * **Composteerbare materialen vermengd met recyclebare materialen:** Soms worden composteerbare materialen verward met recyclebare materialen, wat een negatief effect heeft op het recyclingproces omdat deze materialen verschillende verwerkingsmethoden vereisen. * **Gebruikersfouten:** Consumenten weten niet altijd hoe ze de verpakking correct moeten weggooien. Ze kunnen het bijvoorbeeld bij het restafval gooien of het verkeerd sorteren. * **Gebrek aan infrastructuur:** Niet alle gemeenten hebben de infrastructuur om de gespecialiseerde materialen waaruit stazakken bestaan, efficiënt te sorteren en te recyclen.
According to PurePack, problems often arise due to incorrect film construction, static properties of PE film, or insufficient synchronisation with the filling line.
