The stand-up pouch (SUP), often referred to as a "doypack," is a great packaging style that can add value to your product, and it is gaining popularity across industries.
The key feature of the Masipack SUP-160 is the ability to create the pouch directly from roll-stock film, offering several advantages over traditional premade bags. These advantages include lower packaging costs, labor savings, waste reduction, and customization flexibility, making the Masipack SUP-160 an appealing option for manufacturers and consumers.
Lower Cost Per Package
One of the most significant advantages of the Masipack SUP-160 system is the reduction in packaging costs. Since the SUP creates pouches from roll-stock film instead of relying on premade pouches, manufacturers benefit from lower cost per pouch, reduced shipping costs, reduced storage space required, and others. Premade bags typically involve additional costs associated with manufacturing, storage, and shipping. Roll-stock, by contrast, is more cost-efficient because it involves fewer production steps and less material. As a result, companies can significantly reduce their overall packaging expenses, allowing for a more competitive pricing structure.
Savings on Labor
Masipack SUP-160 also offers significant labor savings, primarily due to the automation capabilities of the system. When using premade bags, manual intervention is often necessary. This can range from loading empty pouches into the equipment to, in the worst case, fully manual processes where a person must open the bag, fill it with the product, and seal it. Masipack SUP-160 system automates these tasks, reducing the need for manual labor and minimizing human error. This automation not only speeds up production but also ensures greater consistency in the packaging process. As labor costs continue to rise, automation provided by the Masipack SUP-160 systems becomes increasingly valuable to manufacturers, allowing them to allocate resources more efficiently.
Reduced Packaging Waste
Sustainability is a growing concern in modern packaging, and the Masipack SUP-160 system addresses this by reducing packaging waste. Premade pouches have a high margin of rejection, which can lead to excess use of materials. Masipack SUP-160 system, on the other hand, allows for more precise control over the amount of material used, as each pouch is custom-formed from roll-stock film. This reduces material waste by ensuring that the pouch is tailored to the specific product being packaged. Additionally, by using roll-stock, which is easier to store and transport, the SUP system minimizes waste throughout the supply chain, contributing to a more sustainable packaging process.
Reduced Product Waste
In addition to reducing packaging waste, the Masipack SUP-160 system also helps reduce product waste. By forming the pouches properly and on-demand, the system can create pouches that are the perfect size for the product, minimizing the chances of overfilling or underfilling. This precision reduces the likelihood of product spoilage or waste during the packaging process.
Zipper Customization
Another advantage of the SUP system is the flexibility it offers in terms of zipper application. While premade bags often come with a fixed zipper design, the SUP system allows manufacturers to decide whether to include a zipper based on the product's specific needs. For products that require resealability, such as snacks or dry goods, a zipper can be applied during the packaging process. For single-use items or products and markets that do not require resealability, the zipper can be omitted, further reducing packaging costs. This level of customization ensures that the packaging is tailored to the product, providing both functionality and cost savings.
