Are recyclable packaging options suitable for food contact?
Yes, many of our recyclable options include documentation for food contact and are perfectly safe for direct contact with the right food products. The best choice depends on your product, shelf life and required barrier.
Which recyclable packaging does PouchDirect supply?
PouchDirect supplies monomaterial stand up pouches, monomaterial flat bottom pouches, paper block bottom pouches and custom packaging. Depending on your product, we recommend the most suitable material structure.
Do you also supply recyclable flat bottom pouches?
Absolutely, we supply flat bottom pouches made from monomaterial. You combine a recyclable option with the stable premium presentation of this model. This works exceptionally well for coffee, snacks, powders and pet food where shelf appeal is crucial.
What is the advantage of monomaterial packaging?
Monomaterial means the pouch consists of one main type of plastic. This makes recycling simpler than with many traditional multilayer options. Sorting and recycling facilities generally recognize and process this material much easier.
Does EVOH block the recycling process?
No. In our stock monomaterial stand up pouches, the EVOH barrier integrates so tightly into the PE structure that it does not hinder recycling. Instead, the layer strengthens oxygen protection and preserves the taste and quality of your product.
Are there recyclable packaging options with a window?
A window is certainly possible, depending on the pouch and material. With a recyclable structure, we carefully match the window to the rest of the film. Ask us directly about the exact options.
Can I get recyclable packaging custom printed?
Yes, you print recyclable packaging entirely according to your vision. Custom printed pouches start from 5,000 pieces per size. Together, we explore which printing technique and material structure highlight your brand the most.
What is the starting quantity for recyclable packaging?
You get unprinted pouches directly from stock starting at 100 pieces. For custom work and fully printed pouches, the minimum order quantity starts at 5,000 pieces.
Are block bottom pouches also recyclable?
Certain paper block bottom pouches fall under a recyclable option and work incredibly well for dry products. Does your product require higher protection against moisture, oxygen or aroma loss? Then a stand up pouch or flat bottom pouch with the right barrier is the smarter route.
Do you also develop fully custom recyclable packaging?
Certainly, custom work opens up countless options for you. Think of specific sizes, colors, barriers, zippers, valves and windows. Upon request, we also look into PP structures or metallized finishes.
