Sports Supplement Packaging, Powder and Bodybuilding Supplement Pouches:
With the growing consumption of bodybuilding powders and sports supplements, which require diverse packaging, flexible packaging, especially multi-layered pouches and wraps, play a significant role in delivering bodybuilding supplements to the market. As domestic manufacturers increasingly capture a larger share of the market from foreign competitors, packaging industries must meet international standards to offer appropriate packaging for these products.
Bodybuilding Powder Packaging (Sports Supplement Packaging) typically comes in: stand-up pouches (zippered) and flat-bottom pouches (box pouches), available in various sizes. Compared to packaging these products in bottles and jars, pouches have the following advantages:
- Multi-layered, zippered pouches are more cost-effective and affordable compared to bottles and jar containers (in a jug shape).
- Easy powder dispensing thanks to the zip closure on the pouch for frequent opening and closing.
- Easy transportation of flexible pouches, which are lighter and more convenient than plastic jugs. (GammaPak packaging industries can install various handles, such as two-hole, three-hole, and short or long oval handles on various pouches.)
- Advertising potential: Pouches offer a larger flat surface for more attractive designs and promotional content.
- Capability for matte, glossy, and UV spot printing on the bottom and side seams (gussets) of the pouches.
- Adherence to hygienic standards during pouch manufacturing, such as maintaining clean rooms and other GMP standards for packaging pharmaceutical, food, and hygiene products.
One of the dangers in the sports supplement industry is the activity of fraudsters who produce and sell unhealthy bodybuilding powders and supplements, including counterfeit and fake gainer products with similar brand names. These manufacturers, who cut corners on production costs and lack commitment to high-quality standards, use various tricks to counterfeit well-known brands. Unfortunately, this poses physical and health risks to consumers and causes significant financial harm to investors and professionals in the industry, potentially driving them to bankruptcy.
To combat counterfeiting and abuse, printing companies now employ security and anti-counterfeit measures such as holographic printing, matte and glossy printing, and UV embossing on flexible packaging materials. This strengthens the case for using flexible pouches as a suitable and impactful packaging choice, ensuring both manufacturers and customers that the products are authentic and of high quality.
