The dry food market consists of extensive portfolio of product categories including rice, grains, dried fruit, nuts, pasta, granular sugar, flour, and spices. Barrier technology is increasingly being incorporated into packaged dried foods, providing protection against environmental elements such as oxygen, water vapor, and aroma. Many packaging formats are employed in this diverse range of dry foods – stand up pouches, block bottom bags, pillow bags, flow wrappers, as well as sachets for portion packs.
Packaging dry foods demands an excellent barrier to moisture to retain the product's properties. When compared to PET/PE structures, laminates based on Polysack’s Pack ‘N’ Cycle LC films offers a better moisture barrier for this market and enables the design of fully recyclable soft packaging.
Stand Up Pouches are ideal for food, liquids, powders, and many other products. These packages come in different sizes and shapes.
The Pillow Bag format is the industry standard for lower to medium weight packaging and will be mostly formed on VFFS lines.
The Flow Pack / Flow Wrap is used for food products such as snack bars and dry pastries and in the wet wipes market.
