TPG-SSolutions / Stand-up pouches / Supplement powders
Stand-up pouches for supplement powders.
Protein, collagen and greens powders cake when they absorb moisture and need a large, legible Supplement Facts panel. A stand-up pouch is lighter to ship than a tub.
What supplement powders packaging has to do.
- 01Moisture barrierPowders clump and some ingredients degrade with moisture. Foil or metallised laminates protect best.
- 02Supplement FactsDietary supplements need a Supplement Facts panel (21 CFR 101.36) and the other required label elements. Plan the panel before you size the bag.
- 03Child resistance for ironSupplements with 250 mg or more of elemental iron per package must use child-resistant packaging under 16 CFR 1700.14.
- 04Scoop accessA wide opening and enough headspace let customers reach the scoop; flat-bottom bags help.

Questions.
01Pouch or tub for protein powder?
Pouches use less material and ship lighter; tubs are easier to scoop from. Flat-bottom pouches are a middle ground.
02Do supplement pouches need to be child-resistant?
Only certain products, such as those with 250 mg or more elemental iron per package, under federal rules. Check whether your formula is covered.
03How much label space do I need?
Supplement Facts panels for multi-ingredient products can be large. Lay out the panel first, then size the bag around it.
