Shipping is from our German warehouse – whether you need a sample for material testing or a pallet of bio-PE doypacks for series production. Stock items are usually available immediately, individual printing is arranged on an individual basis within the delivery time. All customers – B2B as well as B2C – receive graduated prices directly in the order table (no minimum order value) and bulk-pack terms.

Sustainable stand-up pouches – also called doypacks or stand-up pouches – are self-standing packaging bags made predominantly from recycled films (PCR-LDPE, GRS-certified) or from bio-based feedstocks such as bio-PE from Brazilian sugar cane, rather than from pure virgin material. When bio-PE is used, the plant captures CO2 from the atmosphere during its growth, so the finished film has a considerably better climate balance than conventional fossil polyethylene.

The classic stand-up pouch structure is retained: a foldable K-base ensures secure standing on the shelf, the side seams are sealed by heat-sealing and reliably protect the contents from oxygen, moisture and mechanical stress. Depending on the variant, mono-material structures are used that can remain in the recycling stream via the recycling bin, or PCR films that have already been recycled once and are returned to the cycle again after use.

Our sustainable stand-up pouches are suitable for food-grade applications, cosmetics, tea, powders, granulates and all products otherwise filled into doypacks. They can be printed with environmentally friendly inks and combined with a zip closure, window or aroma protection valve. This creates packaging solutions that unite brand storytelling, convenience for consumers and a clear sustainability promise – without compromising the protective function.

• Organic food & natural foods: coffee, tea, muesli, dried fruits and snacks in packaging that matches the organic claim
• Natural cosmetics & drugstore: bath salts, powder masks and refillable care products with a refill promise
• Food supplements: powders, granulates and capsules in mono-material or bio-PE doypacks
• Pet food & treats: sustainable premium packaging for dogs, cats and small animals
• Refill concepts: bulk refill packs for zero-waste-oriented brands
• Gift & artisan products: small runs with high brand value and visibly sustainable packaging

• Material: PCR-LDPE (post-consumer recyclate, GRS-certified) for maximum circular impact, or bio-PE from sugar cane for a bio-based story
• Size & fill volume: from the 100 ml sample pouch to the 5 kg bulk pack – standing stability must match the weight
• Closure: resealable zip for refill concepts or simple sealing for single-use applications
• Window: mono-material variant with a clear-view strip for visible product without composite aluminum
• Printing: water-based or mineral-oil-free inks, FSC-certified card inserts optional
• Certification: depending on the brand claim, check GRS, OK Compost, EU organic logo or EN 13432

Elke Plastic has been one of the largest importers of packaging bags in Germany since 1976. We bundle quantities directly at the manufacturer, check the material quality and so offer sustainable doypacks too at fair prices – without you having to take minimum quantities that only large corporations can manage. Our suppliers work with GRS, ISCC and OK Compost certificates, so you can properly document your sustainability claims in the specification.

Beyond the pure material advantage, you benefit from genuine advice: which variant actually recycles? Which closure stays tight when the PCR rate is at 80 %? Which printing system is compatible with mineral-oil-free inks? Over more than 40 years, our packaging specialists have supported thousands of projects and know the pitfalls between marketing claim and real machine compatibility on your filling line.

All sustainable stand-up pouches are shipped from our German warehouse – with short distances and low-CO2 logistics. We supply private customers as well as industrial fillers, offer free samples for advance testing and support individual printing with graduated prices for larger runs.
