peanuts packaged in stand up bagsPeanuts!  Healthy, tasty and fun to eat.  Whether shelled, roasted, salted, flavored or simply in the shell, peanuts are an All-American snack food which has become even more popular as a healthy snacking alternative.  Of course, popularity breeds competition which, in economic times that are causing consumers to be more cost-conscious than ever, makes increasing sales more and more difficult.  It's a challenge, but it isn't impossible.

One way to build peanut sales is by using stand up bags.   When it comes to peanut packaging, stand up bags provide the ultimate in design, product protection and convenience.  Constructed by laminating multiple layers of scientifically formulated film together, stand up bags are stable, durable, water and puncture resistant, protecting your product from pests, vapor and odor as well.  Stand up bags are also known as stand up pouches, barrier bags, custom printed stand bags and Mylar® bags.



For convenience, tear notches for easy opening are available, as are zip seal closures to lock in flavor and freshness.

If you are looking for the most marketable peanut packaging, stand up bags are the solution.  The design of this packaging yields wide front and back panels, ideal for affixing your own company labels.  You can also order customized printing in up to 10 colors.  If you like, the two can even be combined.  And, to top it all off, clear film windows are available to better show off the quality of your products.

Sales are dependent on much more than quality, of course.  Something as simple as store display can make a measurable difference.  For the best display options in peanut packaging, stand up bags offer the most bang for the buck.  First, as the name suggests, stand up bags stand up on the shelf (and stand apart from the competition).  Round or sombrero-style hang holes are also available, giving the retailer two options for catching the consumer's eye.

Among the choices in peanut packaging, stand up bags provide perhaps the most Eco-friendly alternative.  Recyclable, the bags also take up very little space in landfills, giving your 'green' customers the comfort of knowing that you are conscious of your company's potential impact on the planet

If you are uncertain about what to use for peanut packaging, know that stand up bags offer your product the greatest value, convenience and protection.  In a nutshell, stand up bags are a great way to build your peanut sales.  In a hurry to learn more?

dried fruit in stand up pouchesOurs has become a more health-conscious country.  Although that doesn't mean we have become a healthier country, per se, it does mean that Americans are more aware than ever of health risks and other factors that have the potential to impact their well-being.  In few areas is this more apparent than that of food in general and snacks in particular.  
Snack food has become booming business with snacks often taking the place of meals. Healthy snacks are, therefore, becoming increasingly popular.   And among the most popular of these is dried fruit.  Whether it be dried cranberries, dates, pineapples, apples or the old standby raisin, more and more people are buying dried fruit to snack on.  So what can you do to make more shoppers buy your dried fruit?  
One simple way to build your dried fruit sales is by using stand up bags to package your products.  These bags are sometimes referred to as stand up pouches, Mylar® stand bags and custom printed stand bags.  
Designed to keep out moisture, vapor and odor, these bags are made from laminating together multiple layers of specialty film barriers.  Not only do these bags protect dried fruit from environmental factors, but they seal in flavor, fragrance and nutritional potency during storage via use of available zip seal closures. 
As indicated by the name, stand up bags stand up on the shelf and stand apart from the competition.  The retailer has the option of a hanging display if you order the availabledried fruit in stand bags sombrero-style or round hang holes.  Either way, your product's visibility will be increased in the store aisle.  
Speaking of visibility, your package will be as visible as you can make it.  The design of stand up bags yields front and back panels that have ample room for your company labels or for custom printing of your text and graphics in up to 10 colors.  The two can be combined to even greater effect. 
Not surprisingly, consumers who purchase healthy snacks routinely care about the health of the environment as well.  Stand up bags will help you build sales with that demographic because they are recyclable and because they take up little more room in a landfill than an empty shipping envelope.
When it comes to building your snack food sales, nothing satisfies like stand up bags to feed your need for a healthier bottom line.  Want to learn more?
