Foil Pouches

Hmmmm, chocolate.  With the exception of those few folks who don't like it or those that can't have it for health reasons, is there a candy (some would say food!) more appealing to the palate than chocolate?  Milk, white, dark, solid or filled with nuts, liquors and/or cremes, chocolate is something many just can't refuse.  We all have our favorites.  Varieties are almost endless and so, it seems, is the competition.  Building sales in a crowded marketplace is difficult, but not impossible, especially if some creativity in packaging is employed.  And there is perhaps no more creative packaging for chocolate than stand up bags.

Stand up bags are constructed by the lamination of multiple layers of specially formulated barrier film.  This process yields a package that protects your chocolates from odor, vapor, and moisture.  And, because of its unique design and available zip seal closures, a printed stand up bag also locks in the freshness, fragrance and, above all, flavor of your chocolates. 

Stand up bags, which are also known as foil barrier bags, Mylar® stand bags and stand up pouches, provide the option of tear notches for easy opening.  And, as the name would suggest, they stand up on the shelf, offering tidy and space-saving storage.

When it comes to displaying chocolate packaging, printed stand up bags are ideal.  First, as we've already indicated, they stand up on the shelf.  Available round and sombrero-style hang holes provide a second display option.

The sales of your product depend, in part, on the attractiveness of your packaging as well.  Stand up bags allow you to make your packaging as eye-catching as you like.  You can affix your labels directly on the wide front and back panels the bag design creates.  You can also have your information and graphics custom printed on the barrier bag in up to 10 colors.  You can even combine the two or add a clear 'window' to show your customer what awaits when they open the bag.

One additional factor that is impacting sales more than ever is how Eco-friendly manufacturers, distributors and retailers are.  Printed stand bags will appeal to those consumers who demand sound environmental policies in the marketplace because they are recyclable and take up very little space in landfills. 

Remember, then, as you consider your sales figures, that your packaging has a direct effect on your success.  And when it comes to chocolate packaging, stand up bags are the ideal choice.  Want to learn more?

Technology plays an ever-increasing role in our daily existence.  From electronics to automobiles, from advancement in medicine to food products, research and development departments constantly seek to make our lives easier, to make everything we deal with more convenient.   Some advancements are obvious and some involve products to which we hardly give a second thought, even when we use them.   An example?  Liquid packaging. 

Think of all the liquids that we drink or otherwise use.  Fruit juice, vegetable juice, wine and alcohol, cooking oils, sauces, salad dressing, beverage mixes, dairy products, syrups, honey, solvents, soap, detergent, oil and grease.  They are sold in bottles, bags, jars, jugs, cans and cartons. 

Spouted stand pouches, also called spouted stand up bags, function better than any other type of liquid packaging.  Spouted stand up pouches are made by laminating together multiple layers of barrier film. The make up of the layers vary, ranging from metalized film, foil, Mylar™, to super clear structures.  The final process protects bag contents from moisture, odor, vapor, light and, most importantly, puncture. 

Individually, the barrier films used in spouted stand up pouch liquid packaging aren’t sufficient to create a stable container; however, once they are laminated together they create the properties and strength necessary to stand  on a store shelf, thereby standing out from the competition.  This liquid packaging design creates wide face and back panels perfect for custom printing up to 10 colors.  Alternatively, product labels can be applied directly to the bags. 

There are several available pour spouts in any number of sizes and styles.  As always, rely on your spouted pouch supplier for guidance. 

Spouted stand pouch liquid packaging appeals to the 'green' consumer as well.  The pouches are recyclable, a factor those concerned about the planet consider most important.  Interestingly, however, lessening the impact on landfills has been found to be the most environmentally effective way to employ the "Three Rs" (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle).  And stand up pouches take up very little room in landfills. 

Spouted stand up bags are a great solution to the challenges of liquid packaging, providing for a steady flow of revenue that comes from a greater increase in sales.  Want to learn more?

Chocolate.  Perhaps we should say, "Mmmmmm, chocolate!"    Originally a major part of the culture and daily lives of both the Mayan and Aztec peoples,  chocolate is such a treat for so many today that, in their minds, it lives up to the name of the tree from which it is derived, Theobroma cacao  ("food of the gods").  Doubtful that many among us don't love some kind of chocolate :  Milk, dark or otherwise.  Whether individually wrapped, contained within a hard shell or packaged in powder for baking or making hot beverages, we all have our favorite.

Because of the nature of chocolate (it melts and it's perishable), chocolate packaging is an important component of bringing this product to market.  Stand up pouches, also known as stand pouches, Mylar bags or stand up bags, are a great chocolate packaging option.  Made from specially designed multiple layers of film laminated together, stand up bags protect chocolate from odor, light (if necessary), vapor, moisture and, last but certainly not least, pests.  Puncture resistant, this chocolate packaging ensures that the last taste of the contents is as good as the first.

Stand up bag chocolate packaging is available in materials that range from metalized film and foil to super clear materials.   It is, therefore, ideal for all kinds of chocolate. Happily for chocolate lovers, available tear notches allow for easy opening. Heavy duty zip closures removes any worry that the freshness will be gone before the chocolate disappears.

When it comes to marketing chocolate packaging, nothing is better for the bottom line than stand up bags.  With wide front and back sides, standup pouches provide plenty of space to affix labels or print custom text and graphics in up to 10 colors.  And stand pouches stand out from traditional packaging because they stand up on the shelf.  Of course, if desired, hang holes are available, allowing for a hanging display instead.

Stand up pouches, also known as stand pouches, Mylar bags or stand up bags, are a great candy packaging option for dealing with soft candy chews, hard candy, sugar free candy or treats that are extra sweet and gooey.  Made from specially designed multiple layers of film laminated together, stand up bags protect candy from odor, light (if necessary), vapor, moisture and, last but certainly not least, ants and other six-legged creatures when dealing with outside conditions!  The bags are also puncture resistant, ensuring that the candy stays as fresh as the day it's made.

Granola continues to be a hot retail product.  Granola packaging historically has tried to use packaging that reflected the all natural nature of granola itself.  However, that granola packaging failed miserably when it came to protecting the contents.  Paper pouches and paper packaging are about as natural looking as granola but they have no barrier protection.  Granola packaging using paper  must be lined with another substrate such as a layer of plastic to provide any type of protection from moisture and outside odor.  Further, many small granola manufacturers purchase stock paper pouches with a clear window from stocking distributors who service bakeries and convenience stores only to find out that not only is their granola packaging weak and flimsy, their product goes stale within a matter of days.

Granola packaging using paper is not nearly as strong and durable as other types of packaging such as stand up pouches made from flexible film, also known as stand up bags.  Paper pouches do not have the puncture resistance or the shelf stability on their own to withstand the handling and abuse dealt on retail store shelves.  If granola packaging using paper gets wet, it loses strength and the packaging is compromised. In a nutshell, granola packaging using paper must have additional layers or even additional types of packaging (like a bag in a box) in order to confidently protect and ship the granola.

Stand up pouches are made from multiple layers of barrier film laminated together to create  a pouch that can stand erect on a store shelf while handling the abuse of the retail environment.  Further, the film itself flexes...meaning if a pouch is folded, bent, tipped over, or even stepped on, the film will spring back to its original shape.  Stand up pouches for granola packaging will keep the contents fresher for longer and protect from moisture, vapor, and odor that can negatively affect the taste.  These layers of laminated film create a bottom gusset or base that allows the pouch to stand effectively on a store shelf.  Further, these layers are available in clear film to see the granola or metalized and even foil structures, each providing puncture resistance and strength without needing additional and more expensive types of packaging for a manufacturer to ship with confidence.

Stand up pouches are available with ziplocks and tear notches, even hang holes and pour spouts to increase the level of convenience for the consumer.  Paper granola packaging cannot make the same claim.

While paper has that "natural" look, it doesn't come with the strength, durability, and barrier protection of stand up pouches.  Without question, using stand up bags instead of paper will save money.  Either in the packaging itself, the convenience and consumer appeal, or the ability to keep the granola fresher for longer, using stand up bags will save money.

Using stand up bags for granola packaging isn't necessarily new for the big boys in the industry like Quaker Oats, but recent advances in technology have made custom stand up bags available to the small and medium size manufacturers as well.  Certainly stock stand up pouches with an applied label have been an approved style for small boutique stores, farmer's markets, and maybe through the internet.  However, if a company really wants to get on a store shelf, really wants to get their product noticed, really wants to build their brand, they need packaging that looks like they've arrived.  Without question, custom printed stand up pouches can vault a company's brand awareness and brand value like never before.  FYI, brand awareness = brand value which positively affects the bottom line.

• Custom printed stand bags for granola packaging provide a stable base so the product can stand on a store shelf versus laying flat.  Here the product pouch can be seen and encourages the consumer to "touch me" and feel how full I am, which does equate to value in a consumer's mind. 
• Custom printed stand up pouches are just that...they are custom printed, meaning that a manufacturer can match their existing logo and colors or use bold new ones to get attention.
• Granola packaging using printed stand up bags have a wide face and back by design which provides considerable room for the custom printing to describe what makes the product so good, unique, yummy, different, etc.
• Granola packaging using printed stand up bags are available using clear or transparent film so the granola can be seen or completely opaque using metalized film or even foil.  Further, custom printed stand up pouches can be made using one side with clear film and one side with metalized film or foil.  Even laminated paper can be used to create printed stand up pouches for granola packaging that looks "natural" and still protects the contents.  Once again, count on your packaging professional for guidance and direction.
• Custom printed stand bags for packaging granola are made from multiple layers of barrier film laminated together which keeps the product fresh and assures that the consumer tastes the flavors and ingredients the manufacturer intended.  Further, these film layers protect the contents from moisture, vapor, UV rays, and even odor if needed.
• Stand up bags can be made with ziplocks and tear notches as well as hang holes and even pour spouts increasing consumer convenience which ultimately helps build brand value.

It's true, there are lots of choices when it comes to types of granola.  However, as far as granola packaging, only custom printed stand up bags can protect the contents and build awareness and value at the same time.
