Build Your Brand of Granola That Is Built To Last

Thursday, May 17, 2012 by David Marinac

build your granola brand using stand up bagsGranola.  Once considered fruits and nuts eaten by...well, people that would eat fruits and nuts, granola is now a favorite conventional breakfast food.   www.wikipedia.org says "the names Granula and Granola were trademarked terms in the late nineteenth century United States for foods consisting of whole grain products crumbled and then baked until crisp."  Today, fruits, nuts, even chocolate are added to create many varieties.

Of course, increasing popularity and more varieties means greater competition.  A sluggish economy yields more cost-conscious consumers looking for value.  Building your brand of granola is, therefore, more challenging than ever before.

Building your brand of granola requires much more than simply offering a quality product.  You need effective marketing that tells a story which makes your brand distinctive.  Of course, marketing dollars are often a scarce resource and for many companies, extensive advertising is out of the question.  An alternative is readily available:  Innovative packaging.

While your primary focus may be to ensure the 'granola shopper' buys your brand, remember that your packaging may persuade someone just looking for any old breakfast cereal to buy your granola instead.  Fewer than half of all shoppers know which brand or product they are going to buy when they get to the store shelf.  The cereal aisle at any store is a prime example of just how many choices a consumer can have for one type of product.  Granola competes with adult cereal, cereal for kids, cereal with fruit and without fruit and made from a wide range of grains.  Your packaging must stand out.



Stand up pouches are the height of innovative packaging.  Multiple layers of specially-formulated film are laminated together, creating a barrier that is durable, puncture-resistant and protects the contents from vapor, odor, moisture and pests while locking in freshness, flavor and aroma.

Also called stand up bags and Mylar® barrier bags, stand up pouches have wide front and back panels that offer a blank canvas upon which to affix your labels or order custom printing of your product info, graphics, even a QR code or links to websites.  Transparent film is available to better showcase your brand.

Stand up bags stand on the shelf and apart from the competition.  Available round and sombrero-style hang holes offer an additional display option which increases your brand's visibility.

A Simple Guide to bird feed in stand up bags

Tuesday, May 15, 2012 by David Marinac

From full-fledged members of the National Audubon Society to school children with a pet parakeet, bird lovers come, as the saying goes, in all shapes and sizes.  And so does bird feed.  From black-oil sunflowers to red milo to white proso millet, there are nine primary seed types which are most appealing to our fine feathered friends.  And bird lovers are keenly aware of which ones are suitable for the birds they feed.  In order to build your sales with these niche consumers, you will need to distinguish yourself from the competition.  An effective way to get that done is by using stand up bags to package your feed.

A product such as bird feed requires packaging that not only protects it from moisture, vapor and odor, but from pests as well.  The construction of stand up bags yields a barrier that is puncture resistant.  Built by laminating together multiple layers of specially formulated film, a stand up pouch is stable, sturdy and prevents spoilage.   Also known as stand up pouches, Mylar® bags and custom printed stand bags, stand up bags perfectly transport your bird feed line from factory to feeder.  Available tear notches make for easy, spill-free opening and the zip seal closures create additional value for the consumer by extending shelf life.

Stand up bags also help build your bird feed sales by offering options for both package marketing and store display.  As the bag design creates wide front and back panels, there is ample room to affix your company labels.  You can also have the bags custom printed (in up to 10 colors) with your text and graphics, providing a package tailored to meet your needs and increase brand recognition.

When it comes to store display, a stand up bag provides the retailer with two choices:  Stand the bag up on the shelf (where it stands out from the competition) or suspend it via available round or sombrero-style hang holes.  Either way, the store will be able to maximize your product placement.



It's likely that most bird lovers are also very Eco-friendly.  Your bird feed will appeal to the environmentally conscious consumer because the bags are recyclable and take up little landfill space.

Stand up bags are the ideal solution to the problem of how to package your bird feed.  Effective, protective and attractive, they should help your sales soar.

Dog Food Packaging To Build Dog Food Sales

Wednesday, May 9, 2012 by David Marinac

dog food packaging to build dog food salesIt's a dog's life, or so the old saying goes.  If you're a dog, that isn't a bad thing at all.  Approximately 80 million dogs live the dog's life in American homes.  No surprise, then, that dog food constitutes a major portion of the pet supply industry in America.  Pet aisles in stores are lined with shelf after shelf of dog food options.   Competing in this industry is challenging and building sales is, of course, a daily task.  However, the challenge is not insurmountable; there is a  simple way to build your sales, and that's by changing your packaging.

When it comes to dog food packaging, stand up bags offer versatility, convenience and are the most effective vehicle for conveying your product from manufacturing plant to the home.   These bags, sometimes referred to as Mylar® bags, stand up pouches and barrier bags (among other things) are constructed from multiple layers of specially formulated barrier film that are laminated together.  This bag design creates product packaging that is resistant to puncture, moisture, vapor and odor while it locks in freshness and flavor, thereby extending the shelf life of your dog food.


Stand up bags have several convenient features.  First, as the name indicates, they stand up and dog food packaging to build dog food salesrequire less space in the home or store shelf than standard dog food bags.  Secondly, they can be ordered with tear notches, making opening both easy and tidy.  Third, zip seal closures are available, allowing the consumer to securely store your dog food without fear of spillage, spoilage or infestation from pests.

Get Rid Of Cereal Packaging Trouble Once and For All--Use Stand Up Bags

Friday, May 4, 2012 by David Marinac

Cereal Packaging With Stand Up PouchesBreakfast cereal.    Once simply corn or bran flakes, breakfast cereal now includes a variety of other grains and is often combined with dried fruits, nuts and other ingredients.  A walk down the cereal aisle at any grocery store presents customers with an almost mind-numbing array of choices.  Competing in this arena makes it difficult to capture a greater share of the market.  However, it is possible to distinguish your cereal line from the competition and build your sales.  Using stand up bags as packaging is one way to make it happen.

Boxes have traditionally been the preferred form of cereal packaging, with some obvious shortcomings.  One, customers have no idea how much is in that box on the shelf, often being "surprised" to find that the last person to eat cereal put an empty box back on the shelf.  Second, boxes don't fare well after they've gotten wet from, for example, a wet counter.  Third, the interior wax-like bag never really closes, allowing the cereal to get stale (and...shudder... bugs to dine).  Finally, the box always takes up the same amount of shelf space, no matter how little of the contents are left.

Stand up bags have none of these problems.  First, the bag design creates a sturdy, waterproof and puncture resistant container.  Multiple layers of specially formulated film are laminated together to create a barrier ideal for keeping things out while locking freshness and flavor in.



Stand up bags 'decrease' in size the emptier they get, which not only leaves more space on the shelf but lets your customer know just how much (or how little) cereal is left.  And no matter how wet the counter, your cereal will remain dry.

When it comes to extending the shelf life of your product, stand up bags are far superior to boxes cereal packaging using stand up pouchesbecause of the available zip lock closures which ensure that freshness and flavor are locked in (and bugs are locked out!).

Your sales will benefit from the versatile display options of stand up bags.  They can either be stood up on the shelf or suspended from round or sombrero-style hang holes.

Finally, the bag construction yields wide front and back panels, perfect for affixing your labels or ordering custom printing of your text and graphics in up to 10 colors.

Wide front and back panels offer you several branding choices.  First, you can affix your own labels.  You can also custom print your information in up to 10 colors instead.  You can even combine the two.  And you can add a 'transparent' window for those cookies you sell that look almost as good as they taste.

Available tear notches make opening the bag child's play (meaning that cookies aren't strewn all over the kitchen by being too forceful when opening!).  Zip seal closures are also available, allowing for a convenient way to lock in freshness and extend the shelf life of your cookies, something sure to appeal to households carefully watching their dollars in tough economic times. 

You can expect to increase your sales with the environmentally conscious consumer as well.  The construction materials of a stand up bag are recyclable.  Should your packaging make it to a landfill, however, it will take up very little room, compressing to a size no larger than an empty shipping envelope.

Build Your Sugar Sales With Stand Up Bags

Friday, January 27, 2012 by David Marinac
sugar and spice and stand up bagsThere is a reason, when describing what little girls are made of, the old nursery school rhyme stated that it was "sugar and spice and everything nice."  Because sugar is nice.  And sweet.  An ingredient in baking, a natural sweetener for coffee, a hand cleaner for extremely grimy hands (sugar is, after all, an abrasive), sugar is a constant in most homes.    It is, however, a rather generic product to most consumers.   Sure, there are refined, unrefined, and brown among other varieties but they are all still just sugar.   Which, if you produce, distribute or sell sugar, makes it very difficult to differentiate your sugar product from all the rest. 

One way to accomplish that goal and build your sales is by reimagining your packaging.   For sugar packaging, stand up bags offer a great mechanism for building your sales.  Sometimes referred to as Mylar® stand bags and custom printed stand up pouches, the design and construction of stand up sugar packaging in custom printed stand up bagsbags protects sugar from pests, vapor, odor and moisture while locking in freshness and extending your product's shelf life. 

Multiple layers of specially formulated film are combined via lamination to create a barrier that is also resistant to puncture.  The stable base and sturdy sides enable the bag to stand on a shelf.   Available tear notches make for easy, mess-free opening and the zip seal closures keep the sugar dry and pest-free.

When it comes to branding sugar packaging, stand up pouches offer the flexibility to allow you to custom design your package.   Labels can be affixed to the bag panels and information and graphics can be custom printed on the barrier sides as well.  The two can even be combined.  Regardless of which you choose, your sugar packaging will look exactly like you want it to, helping your product to stand out from those of your competitors.

For displaying your sugar packaging, stand up pouches provide two options.  Given their name, of course, they stand up on the shelf.  Available hang holes (either round or sombrero-style) give retailers another way to display your sugar. 

Finally, it must be noted that stand up pouch sugar packaging will appeal to the environmentally conscious consumer because the bags are recyclable and take up virtually no room in landfills. 

For sugar packaging, stand up pouches are the ideal way to build your sales figures and sweeten your bottom line.  Want to learn more about custom printed stand up bags?  Interested in our stock stand up pouches?

Building sales requires a quality product, to be sure, but it requires creative labeling and effective store display as well.  Stand up bags have wide front and back panels that offer the ability to affix company labels directly onto the barrier film.  The bags also offer the ability to order custom printing in up to 10 colors of virtually any text, graphics or design you wish.  Nothing can brand a product quite as well as a custom printed stand up bag.  pet food packaging

For store display purposes, stand up pouches stand apart from the competition because they stand up on the shelf.  A hanging display option is available through the use of optional round or sombrero style hang holes.

Pet food lovers are often folks who care about the environment as well.  Your sales can't help but be enhanced with that segment of the buying public that considers itself Eco-friendly because stand up bags are recyclable and landfill friendly

The pet food market can be a jungle.  Building sales is easier if you utilize the value, convenience and protection of stand up bag pet food packaging to build your brand while protecting your product too.  Want to learn more?
