The function of food packaging is quite simple. Keeping the freshness, crispiness, and taste of the food intact. But the design, the material, and the quality of the food pouches need to be top-notch as well. Because without using good food packaging supplies, there is no way to make good food packaging. Therefore, no way to keep the content intact and fresh.
Now, you may wonder whether food packaging matters much or not. If we were to list the decisive factors that indicate the freshness and quality of a food product, packaging will stay at the top. When a customer chooses a bag of chips or candy in a store, they check whether the food pouch is sealed or not along with other things. If the bag is sealed tight, it indicates safety and utmost freshness.
The ideal food packaging should be chosen based on the content inside and the purpose. All products don’t have the same shelf life, therefore don’t require the same protection for the same amount of time. Is the content inside liquid? Is it dry and can become stale without the proper barrier material? Is the pouch going to stand on a shelf?
After considering everything, we have created a wide variety of food pouches. From different shapes, sizes, to different protection levels and additional features, we have everything here, at PkgMaker. Let’s take a look at some of those options:
Stand-up Pouches are the most commonly used packaging for food. The name itself is self-explanatory. These pouches are ideal if you are going to display your product on a shelf in a store. A stand-up pouch is the ideal packaging to make customers notice your brand and the product.
These pouches have a bottom gusset which once deployed, creates a space sturdy enough to make the pouch stand. You can add zipper closure for extra user comfort.
Lay Flat Pouches are ideal for products that are not standing on a shelf. For example, if you are selling a pack of 12 contents, they can lay flat inside the box where they don’t need to stand. But there are some shelves that display flat pouches.
3 Seal Cannabis Pouches are excellent choices for weed and cannabis packaging. These Pouches with a bottom load configuration can keep up with your customer's busy schedule. They don't need to mess with zippers, and the top of bags come pre-sealed from our factory!
