What is a Stand-Up Zipper Pouch?
A Stand-Up Zipper Pouch is a type of flexible packaging designed to stand upright on shelves once filled (shelf-standing form). It typically includes a zipper closure at the top for easy opening and resealing. The body is made from multi-layer films (PE, PP, metallized film, or combinations) to protect against moisture, oxygen, light, and other external factors.
This format is ideal when you need standability, resealability, and product protection. Fardad Fam designs and manufactures these pouches in custom specs and quantities.
Technical Advantages
- Standability: A bottom gusset keeps the pouch upright and optimizes shelf/storage space.
- Resealability: The zipper lock minimizes air exposure—great for nuts, supplements, and cosmetic powders.
- Barrier Properties: Laminated layers can provide moisture, oxygen, and light barriers to extend shelf life.
- Custom Printing: Supports high-quality flexographic or rotogravure printing for branding and instructions.

- Food: Coffee, tea, nuts, spices
- Nutraceuticals & Pharma: Protein powders, vitamins
