Chocolate.  Perhaps we should say, "Mmmmmm, chocolate!"    Originally a major part of the culture and daily lives of both the Mayan and Aztec peoples,  chocolate is such a treat for so many today that, in their minds, it lives up to the name of the tree from which it is derived, Theobroma cacao  ("food of the gods").  Doubtful that many among us don't love some kind of chocolate :  Milk, dark or otherwise.  Whether individually wrapped, contained within a hard shell or packaged in powder for baking or making hot beverages, we all have our favorite.

Because of the nature of chocolate (it melts and it's perishable), chocolate packaging is an important component of bringing this product to market.  Stand up pouches, also known as stand pouches, Mylar bags or stand up bags, are a great chocolate packaging option.  Made from specially designed multiple layers of film laminated together, stand up bags protect chocolate from odor, light (if necessary), vapor, moisture and, last but certainly not least, pests.  Puncture resistant, this chocolate packaging ensures that the last taste of the contents is as good as the first.

Stand up bag chocolate packaging is available in materials that range from metalized film and foil to super clear materials.   It is, therefore, ideal for all kinds of chocolate. Happily for chocolate lovers, available tear notches allow for easy opening. Heavy duty zip closures removes any worry that the freshness will be gone before the chocolate disappears.

When it comes to marketing chocolate packaging, nothing is better for the bottom line than stand up bags.  With wide front and back sides, standup pouches provide plenty of space to affix labels or print custom text and graphics in up to 10 colors.  And stand pouches stand out from traditional packaging because they stand up on the shelf.  Of course, if desired, hang holes are available, allowing for a hanging display instead.

It's obvious that stand up bag chocolate packaging combines the most attractive display, the greatest protection and the most convenient storage possible. How sweet it is!  Want to learn more?
