Popular Configurations for Stand Up Pouches
2-Seal Pouches
Other nuts packaging options will allow your nut brand to stand out from the norm. We offer 2-seal and 3-seal packaging that ensure maximum freshness. They’re great options when you don’t need your nut package to stand upright.
For reference, a 2-Seal pouch is a configuration that resembles “ziplock” style packages, with the bottom of the bag folding over the body to form a continuous piece of material. From a manufacturing standpoint, 2-Seal pouches are easy to conform to fit as many nuts as possible.
Stand Up Pouches
Stand Up Pouches are the gold standard of the nut industry packaging landscape today. This type of package stands on a base known as the gusset, allowing it to be upright in store shelves and in pantries at your customers’ homes.
Our stand-up pouches are designed for long-lasting products like nuts. The heat sealable top keeps nuts fresh on store shelves, while the easy-to-use tear notch and zipper will ensure the customer can quickly open the package and reseal it to ensure maximum freshness until all their nuts are eaten.
3-Seal Pouches
3 side seal pouches are also popular nuts packaging options. With a lower cost than a stand-up pouch, 3 seals allow you to load in your nut product the same way your customers access it, from the top of the bag. It’s a great choice for all kinds of nuts–for example, many pistachio bags use seal options because they don’t necessarily need to stand up and are often found on grocery store shelves.
Material for Custom Printed Nut & Dried Fruit Pouches
When it comes to ensuring your product’s freshness, one part of the package is especially important: the barrier. “Barrier” is the name for the type of material that separates the product from the air. It’s this material that protects nuts from moisture and oxygen to make sure they’re tasty and fresh for longer.
As a nut manufacturer, you probably already know that barriers are especially important when it comes to storing nuts. Any food with a high fat content is more likely to spoil if exposed to oxygen, because the fats will go rancid. Roasted, flavored, or coated nuts are especially susceptible because they have a relatively high fat content. And flavor, texture, and odor may all change unpleasantly if nuts are packaged or stored improperly.
By contrast, trail mixes and nut-and-fruit mixes need different barrier considerations, because the moisture content of the dried fruit is important. Dried fruits need a barrier that keeps moisture out to stay fresh.
A final consideration is the size of your package and thus its expected shelf life. Large nut packages that are intended for long-term storage in a customers’ home will need a higher, more long-lasting and protective barrier than small packages that don’t need to stay fresh for as long. We offer multiple kinds of versatile and durable packaging barriers that work great for nut products.
Other Features for Your Nut & Dried Fruit Stand Up Pouches
Adding key features to your packaging can help make your product stand out on the shelves–and be easier for customers to open, re-open, and use at home. We offer customizable special features that allow your packages to perfectly match the optimal design you have in mind. Some of these features include:
Zippers
3 side seal retort pouches are a fantastic choice when you do not need the product to sit on a shelf. Frozen foods, jerky, and custom retort packaging are just a few examples where this would be a viable configuration.
Tear Notch
Stand up pouches have a wide face and back, which makes them perfect for custom printing and/or applying a label. Our stand up retort pouches can be custom printed and available features include heavy duty zippers, tear notches, hang holes, pour spouts, and valves for custom retort packaging.
Window
Square bottom retort pouches are an older configuration of pouch, still popular with the coffee industry, and many others. As the bottom gusset provides the stability and allows the pouch to stay upright, the proper choice of which style to use is important when design custom retort packaging.
Q: What if I have multiple flavors or nut products?
We’ll work with you to determine the best option for what we call SKUs, or stock-keeping units. We can accommodate many different SKUs for your nut product–whether you have a salted/unsalted version, honey roasted or raw, or additional nut flavorings and coverings. We usually advise digital printing if you have many different SKUs with relatively low quantities in each–but again, we’ll work with you to decide the best possible arrangement.
Q: What eco-friendly materials do you use?
We use two main types of recyclable bags. The first is a recycle-ready PE, meaning it has a lower barrier than traditional lamination but with visual clarity on the design and a capacity for matte varnish. The second type of fully recyclable bag is a cross-laminate material. The bags have a high barrier and high strength. They’re available in matte or gloss designs.
Q: I need packaging for a mixed nut product. What barrier should I use?
We can work with you to determine the best possible barrier for mixed products. Whether it’s nuts and fruit, nuts and seeds, trail mixes, chocolate-covered nuts, or nuts with special flavors, we’re very familiar with the benefits of different barriers, and the key axes that need to be considered: moisture, oxygen, and UV rays. We can work with you to determine a barrier that works best for a mixed nuts and fruit product, or any other nut assortment you’re looking to have packaging for.
Q: Can I get color matching?
Yes. We use the Pantone Matching System, an industry standard for packaging colors. We use visually appealing, nuanced colors that can be matched to create a comprehensive and unified look for your brand.
Q: My company sells multiple products in addition to nuts. What do your packaging solutions look like for other products?
We’ve worked with a range of food products and can provide custom packaging for many different types of goods. Some of the other products we typically work with include candy, tea, snacks, cannabis, coffee, dog treats, supplements, jerky, meat, and cheese. If you’re interested in learning more about packaging solutions for additional products beyond nuts, you can check out the product pages on our website, or call us for more information.
