Benefits of a Doypack
The Doyen seal significantly enhances the stability of heavier products on the grocery store shelf. This is achieved through its unique “U” shape gusset, which positions your product inside closer to the bottom of the pouch. As a result, your pouch gains a solid and stable base, ensuring it stands up more securely.
