Best Materials for Snack Food Packaging
Snack food packaging has come a long way in the past 30 years. Your company is no longer limited to a paper box or a plastic bag. Mylar packaging offers nearly unlimited versatility and functionality that can give your brand of snacks an edge in the market. Take a look at some of the Mylar options that might be right for your business.

Stand Up Pouches.
Stand up pouch packaging gives your snacks a great profile on the shelf. Lightweight yet durable, this packaging typically comes with a variety of features to better display your product, such as:
- Hang holes in round or sombrero style
- High vapour barriers to block moisture and oxygen
- Tear notches
- A variety of closure options
- Transparent or clouded windows
- Pouch bottom and gusset options
Mylar stand up pouches come in multiple sizes and print substrates. You can choose from PET, metalized PET, PE, recyclable PE, BOPP, and PCR. Your brand can have exactly the look you want thanks to Mylar’s flexibility and adaptability.
One of the best benefits of Mylar stand pouches is that they can be digitally printed. This allows all businesses, even small ones, to have their packaging quickly and affordably tailored to their brand. Image is everything, and your Mylar packaging can reflect that.
Custom Mylar Packaging.
You may think that custom Mylar bags are only for the big guns out there in the marketplace, but that is not the case. Everything from new packaging for a start-up company to limited edition packaging for an established company can be produced quickly and in low minimum orders.
Mylar packaging allows for spot embellishments, custom-printed labels and logos, and the inclusion of windows to reveal the product. With so many customizable options, your brand will have high-quality packaging that sets it apart.
Packaging That Connects.
Customers like to engage with their favourite brands and products in new ways. Encourage them to do so with smart packaging. By placing a QR code on your Mylar pouch, your customers can have instant access to information about the product and your company. Smart packaging can do the following for your company:
- Deliver interactive experiences to your customers
- Offer educational content
- Tell how your product is sourced
- Offer loyalty rewards and points
- Promote competitions and award prizes
- Share recipes featuring your product
QR codes do more than help your customers. They can also help your business. Use packaging QR codes to track your product from harvest to stockroom shelf. Learn important information about your supply chain this way, such as where the bottlenecks are or if recycling is happening the way you intended. Smart packaging allows you to gain knowledge about your products and your company that you have never had access to before.
Snack Food Packaging for the Future.
With all the benefits of Mylar packaging, there is no reason to return to the old methods. Mylar is versatile, affordable, and fully customizable. Customers appreciate the ease of use while store owners like the look on the shelf. It’s time for your company to say, “Go Mylar, or go home.”
