Ours 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.  

Dried fruit is a convenient snack, perfect for those on the go or who just want something healthy to nosh on at their desks during the day.  Raisins, prunes, cranberries, pineapples, mangoes, pears and dates are all suitable for drying.  As consumers become more health conscious, dried fruit has become an increasingly popular snack because it is high in fiber (excellent aid to healthy digestion) and contains vitamins and minerals beneficial to the blood (such as iron and potassium).  With the many varieties now available and competition stiffer than ever, how can you build your dried fruit brand to position it as the preferred choice for these healthy snacks?

Consider rethinking your packaging.  If you aren't using stand up bags, perhaps you should, and for many reasons.  Also called stand up pouches, Mylar® stand bags, custom printed stand bags and barrier pouches, stand up bags are constructed by laminating together multiple layers of scientifically formulated film.  This bag design creates a durable, puncture resistant package that is sturdy and stable enough to stand up on the shelf (thereby standing out from your competition!).  Stand up pouches protect your dried fruit from vapor, odor, moisture, oxygen and any other environmental factor that might degrade your product.  Available zip seal closures ensure that the contents remain fresh, flavorful and vitamin-packed long after the bag is first opened.  Extending your product's shelf life will enhance the image of your brand with shoppers looking to stretch every purchasing dollar.

Stand up pouches appeal to retailers as well.  As mentioned, they stand up on the shelf.  They can also be displayed via available round or sombrero-style hang holes, giving the grocer the flexibility of another display choice.

And speaking of display, no packaging displays your branding better than stand up bags.  Wide front and back panels enable you to affix your labels with ease or you can order custom printing in up to 10 colors to be applied directly to the barrier.  Clear 'windows' are also available to display your dried fruit.

Consumers are becoming increasingly Eco-conscious.  Your brand will appeal to those 'green' shoppers because stand up pouches are recyclable and take up little space in landfills.

Trail mix.  Dried fruit, nuts, seeds, pretzels, sesame sticks, banana chips, chocolate or carob.  A hearty snack for hiking, the beach, lounging or studying.  A snack made to be taken on the road, eaten on the go.  Which is what makes trail mix packaging important.  And what is perhaps the best type of trail mix packaging?  Stand up bags, also known as Mylar bags or stand up pouches.

Let's deal with the most obvious reason first.  If the packaging does not protect the contents, then bugs and other critters can help themselves to an all-you-can-eat snack buffet.  Stand up bags, with their scientifically designed multiple film layers, are puncture resistant, keeping moisture, vapor, odor and unwanted guests out while keeping freshness in.  Available with tear notches, they are easy to open.  Storing the trail mix is also simple with the available zip lock closures.

It's often thought that granola packaging was the first to use stand up pouches, also known as stand bags or stand up bags.  While I have no proof of this, personally it is the first product I remember.  Bear Naked blasted onto the scene and soon I noticed not only the granola but interestingly I even noticed the packaging.  While the granola looked delicious, and I can now say with fresh fruit and 1% milk it was delicious, it was the granola packaging that interested me.  Trust me, at the end of the day taste is going to be the deciding factor, but packaging is critcal.

Granula (as it was originally spelled) was invented by Dr. James Caleb Jackson in 1894 for his prominent health spa, known as The Jackson Sanitarium.  A similar cereal was invented by John Harvey Kellogg (that's correct, from Kellogg cereal family) and the name was changed to granola to avoid legal problems.  But I digress.  Back to my consumer shopping and facination with granola packaging.

Here, the product was standing on a store shelf, not lying down flat, and I could actually see the granola.  I could see the time and effort the manufacturers took to make sure the granola fit into the stand up bag and filled the pouch so it stood erect on a store shelf and better yet filled the clear window of the stand bag so the granola was the star of the show.  I could actually see the rolled oats coated with honey and whatever yummy stuff they use that made my mouth water!

I could actually imagine myself grabbing a handful out of the bag for a snack or pouring a bowl for breakfast the next morning.  Yikes...what is happening to me?  It's true, packaging made a difference in my eyes as a consumer way back then.  To a larger extent, stand up pouches make a difference for granola packaging in so many ways.  Stand up bags can:

• *  Help Companies Build Their Brand
• *  Protect Granola and Keep It Fresher For Longer
• *  Save Granola Companies Money Over Other Types of Packaging
• *  Increase Sales

Look no further than coming posts to see each of these bullet points.  Stand up pouches changed granola packaging forever.  I believe using stand up pouches for your granola can change your product's future as well.
