Dry food packaging is made by following special processes. It is made in such a way that it prevents the entry of moisture. The best type packaging for dry foods is barrier packaging as it keeps the contents totally dry. These pouches offer protection from dust and germs as well. They are mainly used for chocolate and coffee packaging.

From foil wrapping to stand up bags, chocolate packaging has undergone many changes. Stand up bags offer resistance to heat. This helps reduce the transportation costs as there is no need for air conditioned vehicles. They also ensure that the chocolate has a long shelf life. Special airtight packaging retains the aroma and flavor of the chocolate. New and trendy designs make the packaging look more attractive. Dry food packaging can have a little transparent portion on the pouch that can act like a window. This helps customers to take a look at the stuff they are buying.

Another application of dry food packaging can be coffee. The aroma of coffee beans or powder has to be maintained for a long time. This tempting flavor can be maintained using multi-layered stand up bags. Zippers can be added to make the pouch reusable. Thus, after taking a small quantity, the pouch can be resealed for later use.

Apart from all these benefits, standup pouches are also good for the environment as they don’t fill up landfills, and they can be recycled.
