Every week, I get calls from brands asking if they should switch to stand-up pouches. They’ve heard the success stories. They’ve seen competitors making the move. But here’s what most packaging suppliers won’t tell you: the answer isn’t about the pouch itself. The real question is whether your business understands
Most designers think custom pouch packaging design starts with creativity. But after 10 years in sustainable packaging, I’ve learned the hard truth: 80% of successful designs follow just twelve archetypal prompt structures.

Small business owners face a tough choice. They want to protect the environment but worry about costs eating into their profits. The best sustainable food packaging materials include compostable films (PLA-coated paper), recyclable mono-materials (PE or PP), plant-based bioplastics, and kraft paper laminates.

Choosing the wrong format for single-serve packaging can lead to higher costs, lower output, and unhappy consumers. But with the right data, the choice becomes clear. Stick packs use up to 25% less film than sachets and often integrate better with existing machinery, making them more efficient and sustainable for
Mylar bags are praised for long-term food storage1—but are they still the best option as packaging tech evolves? Mylar bags can preserve dry food for up to 30 years, especially in 7 mil thickness with oxygen absorbers2. However, sustainable industrial pouches3 now rival Mylar in shelf life, automation, and compliance.
Selling candy without the right packaging is like serving soup in a paper cup—it leaks customer trust and freshness. To maintain candy freshness and boost shelf appeal, custom packaging must balance material choice, structural integrity, and smart design. As someone who has worked with global confectionery brands, I’ve seen how
The moment a customer asks me, “What bag should I use for a zip of weed?” I see panic—rules, smell, and budget all collide in their mind. A one-ounce cannabis order needs a smell-proof, child-resistant, branded pouch that protects terpenes, keeps regulators happy, and still fits the budget. I have
