Most people think chip packets are made of aluminum foil. They’re wrong. The truth is more interesting—and it matters if you’re buying packaging for your product. Modern chip packets use metallized plastic film, not aluminum foil. Pure aluminum foil packaging1 for chips commercially died in the 1990s. Today’s bags are
You grab a bag of chips from the shelf. The package looks shiny and modern. You wonder where it goes after you finish the snacks. Traditional potato chip bags1 are not recyclable in most municipal systems. These bags use multi-layer films combining aluminum and plastic that cannot be separated by
Most people think flexible packaging wins because it’s cheaper. That’s only half the story. I’ve watched companies lose millions when rigid containers cracked during cold storage. The flexible pouches? They leaked sometimes, but that’s a customer complaint, not a legal disaster. Flexible packaging outperforms rigid packaging in supply chain resilience1
I watched a startup burn through $2 million developing a "superior" barrier film for chips. The lab tests were perfect. Oxygen transmission rates beat industry standards. But when they tried running it on Ishida filling lines, the film jammed every 50 bags. Most chips use metallized OPP (oriented polypropylene) films

Stand up pouches use 2-3 laminated material layers that work together as a protective system. The outer layer (PET, kraft paper, or metallized
You’ve probably pressed that little circle on a coffee bag to smell the beans inside. But that vent isn’t there for your sniffing pleasure. It’s there because without it, your bag would explode. Coffee bags have one-way degassing valves1 that release carbon dioxide while blocking oxygen. Roasted beans emit massive
Every coffee roaster faces the same dilemma: invest $10,000 in custom packaging or find a smarter way to build their brand. Stock coffee bags with customizable branding zones1 offer the perfect solution. They combine the cost-effectiveness2 of pre-made bags with the brand-building power of custom labels3 and sleeves. You get
The sustainability claims on coffee packaging often hide a complex reality. Many roasters struggle to find truly eco-friendly options1 that actually work. Custom matte laminate coffee bags can be eco-friendly, but only when all materials are compatible with the same waste stream. The key is choosing mono-material structures like PE/EVOH
