Doypacks are a type of flexible packaging that is sustainable, easy to customise and offer an excellent solution for many products and industries. Doypacks can be created from a single or several layers of different types of materials, and they can include extra features such as spouts, valves, punched handles and more. Doypacks are sometimes also called stand up pouches, standing pouches, or doypack pouches. They’re essentially the same thing, but here’s everything you need to know about what a doypack is.
Doypacks are used as an all-encompassing packaging option for almost every industry. As doypacks come in many sizes and can be customised to fit the product, they solve all of the packaging needs for a single product without the need for extras such as labels, plastic framing or padding. Doypacks and stand up pouches are often adopted by companies looking for a sustainable approach to package their products. Compared to other options available on the market, they provide a solution that is easy to transport, efficient for storing goods and can be recyclable. Some of the key industries that utilise doypacks include:
One of the leading benefits of using doypacks as a packaging solution is how many different types are available and the additional customisation options you can choose from. Products have differing needs, such as liquids needing a spout for consumers to pour from and dog food that needs to be resealed between uses to keep it fresh for as long as possible.
Your doypack can be adapted to the type of product you’re storing within, with considerations for other factors such as your branding, where the item will be sold, and how your consumer will interact with them. Some of the most common types of doypacks available are:
Compared to other packaging options available, doypacks offer a more sustainable solution that can reduce the environmental impact of your products. There are many initiatives committed to improving the sustainability of doypack packaging, and we work with many industry partners to improve the way we work, which is a value that can then be passed on to your customers. We hold doypack sustainability at the heart of our business, and we’re on hand to advise you throughout the process of the various options you have and how this impacts the sustainability of your final doypack design.
By 2027, our goal is that all of the flexible packaging we offer is part of the circular economy. This is where throughout a product's lifecycle, it is reused and repurposed repeatedly, which will reduce the need for new materials to be made, help to minimise waste, and improve the sustainability of doypacks. We are currently pushing the UK government to roll out a national recycling program so that flexible packaging can be collected at kerbside. Here's a detailed blog we recently wrote about mono-material recyclable packaging.
Doypacks are lightweight, flexible and easy to store and transport. This reduces the amount of space and fuel needed to transport them throughout their lifetime, which means as they travel through the circular economy, they’ll be saving on resources at every stage.
Waste is one of the leading causes of environmental damage. Waste sites can produce high levels of methane gas and lead to wider ecological problems such as pollutants entering waterways. To combat this, product sellers should be doing as much as possible to reduce the waste caused after consumers purchase items.
Doypacks are made of materials that will keep products fresher for longer, which reduces the time it takes for them to spoil and become waste. They can also be customised with features such as resealable openings or spout caps, which means your customers can store goods between use. Doypacks are a single item that can be widely recycled, meaning it’s easy for customers to understand and properly recycle your packaging after use, which can help to reduce the amount of waste created.
We offer free expert advice and support for anyone who needs product packaging, and we’d love to hear about your project and help find the right pouch for you.
Your product can be the most competitive on the market, but it’s often marketing and branding that will set you apart and improve the likelihood of consumers trying your products. Doypacks are a fantastic solution for brands that want to make a difference and showcase who they are and why their product is the best. Some of the ways doypacks complement branding are:
Doypacks are quite simply one of the many ways you can package a product, although the benefits they offer may mean that they’re most suited to your product and your overall business. Even if you’re using other packaging solutions, doypacks should be considered when the time comes to review how your goods are packaged due to the many benefits they offer and the continual developments. If you’d like to understand more about what doypacks are, how they can be customised, and whether they’d be suited to your product, get in touch, and we’d be happy to help you.
