Pouches Provide Added Safety Precautions
Label Academy Hosts Virtual Master Class
Single-serve, snack packaging is more popular than ever, especially among today’s emerging generations who desire convenience and portability above all.The recent COVID-19 outbreak has fast-tracked this trend for single-serve packaging as consumers want extra as- surance that their favorite snacks are safe to eat and have been handled by as few people as possible. Pack- aging is now recognized as a valued tool in ensuring product and consumer protection, increased shelf life, and safe delivery. GreenSeed, a contract packaging operations compa- ny that designs and manufactures custom packaging solutions for dry foods and supplements in the natu- ral products category, can accommodate all types of applications, including small or large format pouches, stand-up, easy tear, and zippered designs, all with hori- zontal form fill seals.The company reported increased demand in single-serve pillow pouches since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to their safety features, pouches are easy to customize. GreenSeed has worked with numerous CPGs to redesign and“right-size” their pouches,which were bigger and bulkier than necessary.
