Sports nutrition has gone mainstream and this is evident from the increase in the number of gyms and fitness clubs that have sprouted up over the years. In today’s market, a supplement product's packaging is more important than ever. It’s important for consumers to have a good experience as they unwrap their box. There are various types of packaging options available for sports nutrition supplements, the most popular is tubs and flexible pouches.
Flexible pouches is lightweight sealed using heat or pressure. For example, stand up pouches, side gusset pouch, flat bottom pouch , etc. In keeping with the name, flexible pouch can be modified or customized with ease. They are manufactured at low costs but offer minimal protection from compression or perforation.

Actually, pouches packaging is able to provide a high barrier performance for nutrition which can guarantee the shelf life but in lower pricing than tubs. Tubs better protects its contents.
