Keeping your dry food from becoming stall or spoiled due to moisture, is important to ensuring that your customers continue purchasing your product. Let’s compare four different types of packaging and you can decide which one is the best fit for you. 
- Folding Cartons- Are made up of paperboard and are limited to containing 1.5 pounds of your dry food product. There is little to no barrier protection from the elements. Your estimated cost for the custom printed folding carton + the inner liner would be $.27.
- Heavy Duty Plastic Bags- This packaging offers the large ziplock style flat pouch from either a single layer or co-extruded types of plastic, still no barrier film. Since the plastic bag lays flat most likely to have the product stand up and to get noticed the plastic bag would be put into a carton. The estimated cost for the bag + carton would be $.25.
- Paper Sack-This packaging doesn’t offer barrier protection from moister or from becoming stall. The estimated cost is $.20 + $.02 for the tin tie= $.22.
- Stand Up Pouches- This packaging does offer heavy duty barrier film laminated together. Protecting the product from moister and from becoming stall. The Stand Up Pouches design allows your product to stand up on the shelf or hand from a handing hole. The estimated cost of custom printed pouches that has the heavy duty ziplock and/ or deep tear notches for only $.15.
