Compare between types of packaging

Sustainability and environmental awareness are becoming increasingly important in today’s times. Therefore, Pouchfabriek has thoroughly researched the impact of the raw materials of its packaging compared to the raw materials of other types of packaging. Pouch factory wants to play a role in making the packaging industry more sustainable by offering packaging with the lowest possible CO₂ emissions.

This study provides a comparison between CO₂ emissions from the raw materials used for our pouches and alternative packaging materials. For example, it was found that the production of the polyethylene for our pouches has a much lower CO₂ load than other materials. For example, up to 87% Kg of CO₂ equivalent can be saved by using PE pouches.

The sustainable choice

Pouch Factory chooses the most sustainable materials. We pack your product in the best way, for both our customers and the environment. We have researched the CO₂ impact of various materials, and based on this, have chosen pouches made of polyethylene. This type of plastic is easily recyclable, provides sturdy packaging and is lightweight. To promote the recyclability of pouches, one type of plastic (PE) is used as much as possible.

Reusable pouches

In a world where sustainability and environmental awareness are becoming increasingly prominent, Pouch Factory has focused on developing reusable packaging solutions. Manufactured with the highest quality laminated polyethylene, our pouches are designed to be reused and offer a range of benefits that transcend traditional packaging materials.

For example, the special closure ensures that the contents of the pouches are stored safely and can be reused, minimizing waste. The pouches are made of high quality laminated polyethylene. This material is easily recyclable and we do not aim to use any other types of plastic in our products.

At Pouch Factory, we understand that choosing to manufacture pouches in Europe brings significant benefits to both our customers and the environment.

We have carefully chosen our suppliers, taking into account various factors such as shorter transportation routes, faster delivery times and high production standards and quality. In addition, we are able to further reduce the carbon footprint of our products because we have shorter transportation distances than other suppliers, where pouches can be transported very efficiently. In addition, our suppliers are leaders in innovation and technological advances in packaging.

Sustainability benefits:

HP printing presses ensure that the process of printing our sustainable packaging has a lower environmental impact than conventional printing and causes much less CO2 emissions and Global warming **(source LCA study Earth Shift Global)
The entire digital printing process requires much less power consumption than other conventional printing processes.
With our digital printing presses, we do not need to produce plates and cylinders for our printing process which also has a more positive impact in terms of CO2 emissions.
On the Pouch Factory printing presses, we produce mainly sustainable material constructions of recyclable mono material PE-PE films, which makes your packaging much better for the environment and easy to recycle.
Pouch Factory can print different types of materials, including paper, film, plastic and biodegradable materials. It is also possible to choose materials with special properties, such as barrier coatings, anti-static coatings or heat-resistant coatings.

In addition, you can choose from a wide range of inks, including white ink, fluorescent ink and metallic ink. Our inks use much less energy than solvent-based inks or UV curing inks.
We are happy to offer a no-obligation consultation with our Co2 calculator to identify the possible annual Co2 savings for your product packaging.

The advantages of Stand Up Pouches as a form of packaging:

Stand-up pouches have some advantages over PE pouches. A stand-up pouch
is a flexible package that can stand upright. It has the following advantages:

Space saving

Stand-up pouches take up less space than PE pouches because they are flexible and adapt to the contents( symbol truck 1 vs. 27 label slips)

Lightweight

Stand-up pouches are lighter than PE pots, making them easier to handle and transport. (80% less CO2 emission symbol)

Less material wastage

Stand-up pouches require less material for production than PE pots, resulting in less waste.

Better shelf life

Stand-up pouches can provide a better barrier against air, moisture and light, extending the shelf life of products.

More design options

Stand-up pouches offer more flexibility in terms of shape, size and design, allowing brands to stand out.

It is important to note that the choice between Stand-Up Pouches and PE jars depends on the specific needs and requirements of the product.Each type of packaging has its own advantages and disadvantages.
