Trail mix is a mixture of dried fruits, nuts, grains, and sometimes chocolate, which is usually consumed by people going for an outdoor hike. The trail mix is a favorite snack food for hikers due to several reasons – it’s easily portable, lightweight, nutritious, and a quick source of carbohydrates. To top it all, it tastes really great. As the trail mix is mainly used by hikers, its packaging should be tough and durable so that it can be carried during rough climbs.

Stand up bags are unbeatable when it comes to dry food packaging. These bags are lightweight, which makes them perfect for hiking purposes. They are robust and protect the mix from the environment, thus retaining its nutritional value. These bags are easily portable, unlike cans of plastic or tin. And to the hikers' delight, these bags are greener than most other packaging methods.

Food packaging pouches have several other qualities which make them a superior packaging method. They come with several add-ons that increase their utility. Once empty, you can throw them in a trash can, and if you can’t spot one, just crumple them up in a small pocket of your bag, which is not possible with cans and other packaging methods. Thus you do not end up littering the place you are hiking.
