Granola and cereals have been packaged in bags or bags within boxes for decades but increasing numbers of cereal companies are switching to stand up packaging. This switch in packaging is happening for the same basic reasons that drive changes in just about any business; cost and customer satisfaction. In terms of cost, stand up bags are hard to beat for cereals, granola, and a wide variety of food products because they are the cheapest food packaging option on the market. Customers also like the bags because they are easy to use, store, and can be made with resealable zippers and spouts.
They can of course also be made with materials that keep food products fresher for longer periods of time. When we make flexible food packaging for granola and cereals, we take the time to pick out bag materials best suited for the product. Those materials might be clear film, metalized film, or even a foil pouch. No matter which materials are used, we also use high quality rotogravure printing for the bag to give it professional, crisp graphics (this is the same type of printing used by the big boys in the industry). One of the other advantages that we offer to clients is the ability to print as few as 5,000 pieces.
