Snacks are a part of our daily meals. From chips to cookies, snacks include a lot of things. And they have to be packaged properly to keep the quality intact. Because of the mass production, snack packaging costs are reduced to some extent. With standup pouches, things have become much easier.

One of the primary contents of these packages is gas. ‘Nitrogen flushing’ is used to prevent oxidation of snacks. Oxidation is bad as it can spoil the food. The packaging should be able to withstand the pressure exerted by the gas.

Various other innovative features can be added to improve snack food packaging. For example, holes are mostly punched at the top of the packets. They are useful for hanging and carrying around the packages easily.

An increasing problem these days is of waste accumulation. Customers pay attention to the packaging that they are using. Standup pouches take up just a little space in landfills, and thus give a greener packaging choice for manufacturers.

Lastly, one must focus on the packaging of such food pouches. Since these are mostly consumed by teenagers, designing should be done keeping that in mind. Stand up bags can be made with attractive designs and colors.
