The emergence of the English name for stand up pouch originated from the French company Thimonier. In 1963, Mr. M. Louis Doyen, who was then the CEO of the French company Thimonier, successfully applied for the Doypack stand up pouch patent. Since then, Doypack has become the official name for stand up pouch and has been used to this day. By the 1990s, it was widely recognized in the US market and subsequently popularized worldwide.

The stand up pouch is made of PET/MPET/PE structure lamination, and can also have 2 or 3 layers of other specifications of materials. It depends on the packaging of different products, and can be added with an oxygen barrier layer as needed to reduce oxygen permeability and extend the shelf life of the product.

3. Stand up pouch with zipper:

Stand up pouch with zippers can also be re closed and re opened. Due to the fact that the zipper form is not closed and the sealing strength is limited, this form is not suitable for encapsulating liquids and volatile substances. According to different side sealing methods, it can be divided into two types: four side sealing and three side sealing. Four side sealing refers to the fact that the product packaging has a layer of ordinary edge sealing outside the zipper seal when leaving the factory. When using it, the ordinary edge sealing needs to be torn open first, and then the zipper is used to achieve repeated sealing. This method solves the problem of low zipper edge strength and is not conducive to transportation. And the three side sealing is directly used as a zipper edge sealing, usually used to hold lightweight products. Stand up pouch with zippers are generally used for packaging lightweight solids such as candy bag, cookies packaging, jelly pouchs, etc., but stand up pouch with four side can also be used for packaging heavier products such as Rice Packaging and cat litter.

4. Mouth-like stand up pouch:

The faux mouth type stand up pouch combines the convenience of a stand up pouch with a spout with the affordability of a regular stand up pouch. The function of the spout is achieved through the shape of the bag itself. However, stand up pouch with a mouth like shape cannot be repeatedly sealed and opened, so they are generally used for packaging liquid, colloidal, and semi solid products that are disposable, such as beverages and jellies.
