We are one of the eminent Suppliers of Flexible Stand Up Pouches in the UK. In many emergency situations involving water crises, water trucks are used to transport water to the premises, but its distribution to the public relies on usage of the public own containers. While partially solving the distribution problem, this approach can generate other problems such as diseases caused by use of contaminated or soiled containers or lead to uneven distribution.
Bottled water is an effective solution, but it is expensive, requires extensive storage areas and is more suitable for short term events. Distribution of jerrycans is yet another solution but has even greater implications on storing and transporting.
Flexup Was developed to solve problems of water distribution during emergency situations.

Extremely compact

• Flexup is a colliapsible, 4 to 5 L Container having near – zero volume when empty. This allows efficient storing and forwarding in massive quantities.
• In fact, Flexups occupy at least 20 times less storage place than jerrycans. This means that one truck only can carry as much as 120, 000 flexups to emergency grounds, enough to distribute 480, 000 L of water.
• The similar capacity would require at least 20 trucks to deliver 4L plastic jerrycans. Besides the effective aspects on storing and transportation, that's also a substantial relief on affected infrastructure.

Durable

• Flexup is efficient and environment friendly. After use, it can be washed with mild soapy water, dried and be reused countless times. It is made of resilient and flexible food-grade laminates that will not leach into the water (unlike plastic containers made of Pet, Hdpe or pvc).
• Flexup can hold water up to 100 ^oC and resists freezign (-20^oC). In proper conditions, flexups can be slored up to 5 years.

Ergonomic Flexup is easy to fill and use, featuring a carrying handle for carrying water safely over long distances and an adjustable spout for easy drinking and dispensing. Flexup is collapsible can be folded and stored in pockets, back packs or bags.

Strategic

• Flexups is an ideal solution where scarcity of containers is as significant as water shortage.
• Flexup – The ultimate link in water distribution chain.
• Flexup is officially approved and selected by the security unit of the israeli water authority to be used in future water crises. IWA purchased 3.7 million flexups tm enough to cover over half of israeli population.
