Pooki’s Mahi Launches New Standard Packaging for Teas, Sweetener, and Snacks Line With Packaging Partner Standup Pouches.net
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) May 15, 2014 -- Silicon Valley etailer startup of award-winning teas, top-notch brown rock sugar and 2013 Food & Beverage winner, Pooki’s Mahi, announced today a new partnership with packaging partner Standup Pouches.net. The partnership launched Pooki’s Mahi’s new packaging designs, support revenue growth and will expand brand awareness.
“We started our search for a packaging partner in 2012 soon after launching a pilot for one of our product lines. We started a review of a dozen packaging vendors. We short-listed this to five manufacturers. Fellow C-Level executives in my high tech network referred Standup Pouches.net to me in late 2012. Pooki’s Mahi finished a lengthy review of five packaging partners; none of them passed our minimum requirements (flexibility to work with high tech startups, product quality, schedule and cost). The quality of the standup pouches material is much higher than other vendors I’ve reviewed. For example, three pounds of brown sugar in a K Style Bottom Gusset will not fall down. The pouch did not burst during Pooki’s Mahi’s drop testing process. By early 2013 Pooki’s Mahi’s Design Leads completed initial designs and was ready to start manufacturing the new packaging form,” says Les Magsalay-Zeller, Founder/CEO of Pooki’s Mahi.
Les continues, “I’m impressed with Standup Pouch.net’s overall project management and operations team. The Project Manager assigned to Pooki’s Mahi provided a very realistic schedule with checkpoints along the way. The Standup Pouch.net team ensured the packaging would arrive in time for the 65th Emmy's Red Carpet Gift Suites. Even more impressive is the deep knowledge of which packaging type would work best, the marketing and overall understanding of what’s required to launch new products into the market. Standup Pouch.net’s pouches are the standard for Pooki’s Mahi’s pouch material. Standup Pouch.net’s collaboration style fits with Pooki’s Mahi’s culture.”
Dave Marinac, CEO, Standup Pouches.net remarks, “We will not race you to the bottom… there are plenty of other companies willing to bludgeon each other to be the 'cheapest price.' However, you get what you pay for and I guarantee you there will be a time and place (maybe not the first order… or even the second)… that you will get burned and wished you chose to work with StandUpPouches.net.”
Standup Pouches.net provided overall project management for the new line of standup pouches. There were no issues with the handling of schedule, resources and delivery points. The Project Leader provided risks and options to mitigate them.
Pooki’s Mahi piloted the new standup pouches at the 2013 65th Emmy's Red Carpet Gift Suites. Pooki’s Mahi provided Hollywood’s finest with brown rock sugars, 100% Kona coffees and award-winning teas. Celebrities and reviewers were impressed with the overall packaging designs and the sturdiness.
