Elk Packaging 16.0oz /473ml Recyclable Stand Up Pouch

What this packaging is

How2Recycle compliant and designed for storefront drop-off recycling, this 16oz stand-up pouch brings genuine end-of-life credibility to food brands navigating the sustainability shift. Built from a high-barrier HDPE/LDPE structure, the 473ml format holds its shape on shelf with a stable base gusset and pairs naturally with coffee, grains, snacks, spices, and condiments. Flexographic printing supports CMYK and Pantone spot colors, with options for matte or gloss coatings, zippers, and tear notches. Manufactured in Canada, it suits brands sourcing close to North American markets. For brands ready to back up their sustainability claims with certified packaging, this pouch delivers.

Why brands choose this

• Storefront recyclability with third-party certification: How2Recycle compliance gives brands a credible, consumer-recognizable end-of-life story — not just a recycling claim. As retailer sustainability mandates tighten, drop-off program eligibility is becoming a real shelf-listing advantage.
• High-barrier HDPE/LDPE structure built for demanding food categories: Coffee, spices, and snacks all need serious moisture and oxygen protection. This pouch's barrier spec handles the freshness requirements across that full range without forcing brands to compromise on sustainability credentials to get performance.
• Decoration flexibility that supports premium shelf positioning: Flexographic printing in CMYK and Pantone spot colors, combined with matte or gloss coating options, gives brand teams the visual range to compete at premium price points — whether that's a craft coffee aesthetic or a bold snack brand identity.
