Croutons.  When bread becomes a key ingredient for salads, stuffing and soup.  No matter what seasoning or type of bread, croutons add flavor and texture to almost any dish.  With growing popularity due to convenience, flavor and variety, croutons are more readily available.  That availability is, however, due in large part to increased competition.  Building sales in a more competitive marketplace is difficult, but it's not impossible.

One way to build your crouton sales is by using stand up bags for packaging.  Also known as Mylar® barrier bags, stand up pouches and custom printed stand bags, stand up bags consist of several to many layers of scientifically formulated film that are laminated together to form a barrier that is attractive, durable and puncture resistant.  The bags also keep out vapor and odor (and pests!) while sealing in freshness and flavor.  Perhaps most importantly for crouton packaging, stand up bags keep the contents dry.   After all, soggy croutons are nothing more than mushy bread crumbs.

When it comes to marketing and displaying your crouton packaging, stand up bags are ideal.  Designed to stand up on the shelf, stand up bags can also be displayed via available round and sombrero-style hang holes.  When marketing your crouton packaging, stand up bags permit custom printing of your package in up to 10 colors because of the wide front and back panels or you can affix company labels directly on the bags instead.  If you like, you can even combine the two.

For convenience in crouton packaging, stand up bags will appeal to the consumer because of two unique features.  First, available tear notches make it possible to open the package without destroying the structural integrity of the bag.  And, with available zip seal closures, stand up bags provide the standard in protective packaging, helping your customers stretch their shopping dollars by extending the shelf life of your product line.

As more consumers are considering the environmental policies of producers, manufacturers, distributors and retailers when making their buying decisions, your crouton sales will be enhanced because, when it comes to crouton packaging, stand up bags are incredibly eco-friendly.  First, they are recyclable.  Secondly, should they make their way to a landfill, they take up very little room.  Either way, your croutons leave little behind but crumbs.  Want to learn more?
