Dried and freeze dried snacks continue to grow in popularity as brands look for ways to offer convenience, long shelf life, and nutrient dense options. With so many new products entering the category, choosing the right packaging format is one of the most important decisions for both product quality and customer experience. The right pack keeps moisture out, protects delicate textures, and helps your brand stand out.
Below are the top packaging formats that work best for dried and freeze dried snacks and why each one matters.
Stand Up Pouches
Stand up pouches remain one of the most popular options for dried and freeze dried products. They are lightweight, flexible, and offer strong barrier protection against oxygen and moisture. Their upright shape creates space for bold branding and easy shelf display. Resealable closures also help maintain freshness once opened, which is ideal for snacks that are eaten over time.
Pillow Pouches
Pillow pouches are a great choice for single serve snacks and portion controlled packs. They offer strong protection while keeping packaging costs efficient. Because pillow pouches use minimal materials, they support sustainability goals and are perfect for grab and go items like fruit crisps or dehydrated veggie chips.
Flow Wrap
Flow wrap is a strong choice for dried snacks that need speed, efficiency, and tight sealing. This format creates a snug film around the product and offers a clean, uniform appearance. Flow wrap is ideal for individually wrapped fruit bars, clusters, or shaped snacks that need consistent protection during transport and display.
Bag in Box Formats
For large quantity snacks or food service applications, bag in box formats offer durability, long shelf life, and easy dispensing. They protect product quality during transport and are a strong fit for brands that serve both retail and wholesale customers.
Why Packaging Choice Matters
Dried and freeze dried snacks are sensitive to moisture, light, and oxygen. Selecting the wrong format can lead to texture loss, clumping, or reduced flavor. The best packaging not only preserves quality but also influences customer satisfaction, brand trust, and supply chain efficiency.
