We've become a nation of snackers. In fact, snacks aren't always called snacks anymore. "Meal replacements" and energy food are now used frequently as well. The types of foods considered snacks has changed as well. Snack food is now much more likely to be healthy and nutritious then in years past. Junk food snacking is passé.

Because snack foods have become an increasing part of the eating patterns of so many Americans, competition in the snack industry has heated up. And given the variety of snack foods available, the market for snack packaging has become more competitive too. Of all the options available, however, stand up pouch snack packaging is your best choice.

Each stand up pouch is a unique barrier bag made of multiple layers of special film that have been laminated together. Strong, puncture-resistant yet flexible, stand up pouches protect snack foods from vapor, odor, moisture, pests and pets(!). The pouch barrier also extends the "best by" date, sealing in freshness and flavor. Available zip lock closures provide further protection against spoilage.

Standing up on the shelf permits stand up pouches to store conveniently virtually anywhere: Kitchen, picnic table, on top of a beach cooler, even on the dash for that long road trip. Optional tear notches make the pouches easy to open and prevent the mess that so often occurs when pulling on the sides of a bag too hard the first time. The zip lock closures permit repeated opening and resealing and prevent spills.

Stand up pouch snack packaging provides you product marketing opportunities. Because your snack products will stand up on the shelf, they'll stand out from the competition. Optional round and sombrero-style hang holes give grocers, convenience stores and other retailers a product display alternative. With wide front and back panels, stand up pouches accommodate your labels, stickers, customized printing in up to 10 colors, even the use of clear film. Combining some or all of these features will make your brand even more likely to grab the attention of the undecided shopper.
