Processing and sealing food airtight containers is called canning. Canning started in 1795 which has been used ever since for food preservation commercially and in our homes. However, over the years, research supports that metal cans can be extremely difficult to open and heavy to carry. Further, canning have a lot of disadvantages in using for food preservation such as; food contains high levels of sodium, improper methods can be dangerous, requires a significant investment of time and equipment and most especially has fewer nutrients.



Nowadays, a lot of companies have chosen to venture on using pouches for the preservation of their products. With the growing acceptance of stand up bags and pouches, this inventive packaging is now considered to be one of the lowest cost and quality options available in the marketplace today.
