How to Fill Stand Up Pouches By Hand
Pouch packing is a popular packaging method for multiple reasons. As well as being highly versatile, pouches are also very strong, lightweight and lend themselves well to displaying your artwork and brand.

There are many advantages that come with choosing pouches for your products, such as:
- Wide-ranging applications
- Accurate filling
- Printable surface
- Lightweight materials
- Robust construction
- Airtight seal

Pouch packing machines
As well as the pouches themselves being a great choice, the machinery involved adds to their appeal. WePack uses only the very best equipment and systems for packing your products, and we’re particularly proud of our pouch packing setup. The procedure for filling pouches focuses on precision, hygiene, speed, consistency and quality of product, as you can rest assured that every unit will pass all of our stringent quality control tests.
As a brief overview of how a pouch packing machine works, the stages include loading, gripping, printing and branding, opening, filling, and then the final sealing. If you’re interested in finding out more about how it all works, read our article on the benefits of using a pouch packing machine.
Filling stand up pouches by hand at home
As mentioned above, we offer a resealable pouch option that’s very popular with the buying public. Even when the product has been consumed, the pouch can still be used for storing other products, which can add months or even years to its lifecycle.
Many people reuse our pouches by cleaning out the empty packaging and then using a container such as a jug, bowl or glass to pour another product into it. For instance, a pouch that originally contained nuts could be used for storing flour, raisins, chocolate chips, or even a single portion of cereal that can be taken to work. That’s the beauty of resealable pouches, as they’re built to last for a very long time and can be reused by the consumer as much as desired.
