Trail mix.  Dried fruit, nuts, seeds, pretzels, sesame sticks, banana chips, chocolate or carob.  A hearty snack for hiking, the beach, lounging or studying.  A snack made to be taken on the road, eaten on the go.  Which is what makes trail mix packaging important.  And what is perhaps the best type of trail mix packaging?  Stand up bags, also known as Mylar bags or stand up pouches.

Let's deal with the most obvious reason first.  If the packaging does not protect the contents, then bugs and other critters can help themselves to an all-you-can-eat snack buffet.  Stand up bags, with their scientifically designed multiple film layers, are puncture resistant, keeping moisture, vapor, odor and unwanted guests out while keeping freshness in.  Available with tear notches, they are easy to open.  Storing the trail mix is also simple with the available zip lock closures.

Trail mix is one of those products that people often buy because it looks good to eat.  Stand up bag trail mix packaging is a marketing department's dream.  The bags can be custom printed in up to 10 colors while leaving a transparent "window" through which the mix is visible.  Or, if preferable, custom labels can be applied to the wide front and back panels.

Trial mix packaging that stands up on the shelf is likely to really stand out from the competition.  The bags can also be ordered with hang holes, thereby providing the option of a hanging display.

Finally, and because it's trail mix packaging we are talking about here, stand up pouches will appeal to the outdoor types among us because they take up limited space in landfills and, even more significantly, because they are recyclable.

Count on stand up bag trail mix packaging to ensure a fresh, wholesome snack wherever the day takes you.  Want to learn more about trail mix packaging using stand up bags?
