Furthermore, due to their light weight and flexibility, CPG companies are gradually choosing pouches over rigid packaging products like composite cans, containers, boxes, etc. to reduce shipping costs.

Flat pouches take up less room in retail stores and can be readily stacked on top of one another, allowing for more product display than other packaging styles. Furthermore, consumers find stand-up pouches on retail shelves more appealing, and the packaging format offers a larger surface area on which high-quality graphics may be printed, resulting in the product type grabbing customer attention in retail outlets more easily than bottles and boxes.
