Why Spice Packaging Is Different from Other Food Packaging
Spices and seasonings are highly sensitive to light, oxygen, and moisture. The wrong packaging can flatten aroma, fade color, and shorten shelf life — no matter how perfectly your blend is formulated.
Common spice packaging challenges we see every week:
Aroma and Color Fade Too Quickly
Thin or non-barrier bags let oxygen and light slip in, dulling the color of paprika, turmeric, and herb blends. As aroma disappears, your spices lose perceived quality and customers stop coming back.
Clumping and Moisture Issues
Inadequate moisture protection means spices can clump, cake, or absorb odours from nearby products. That leads to poor flow, messy pours, and more returns from unhappy retailers and consumers.
Labeling and Shelf-Life Compliance
Generic bags and labels make it hard to display ingredients, net weight, allergens, and best-before dates clearly. Inconsistent packaging puts you at risk of compliance issues and weakens trust with retailers.
Spice Bag Formats for Cooking
Stand-Up Pouches
Stand-up pouches are ideal for retail spice packaging. The front panel allows clear branding, while the bottom gusset keeps bags upright. Add zippers, tear notches, and windows to highlight your spices and keep them fresh on display.
Flat Pouches
Three-side seal pouches work well for sachets, samples, and refills. They use less material, ship efficiently, and provide reliable barrier protection. Choose from multiple seal widths, tear-open styles, and zipper options.
Box Bottom Pouches
Flat-bottom “box” pouches suit premium spice lines and larger volumes. Their sturdy shape stands upright, offers extra branding space, and provides strong barrier protection for long-lasting freshness.
High-Barrier Materials Engineered for Spices & Seasonings
Spices and seasonings need protection from moisture, oxygen, and light to keep aroma and colour locked in. We match film structures to your products, grind size, and fill weight so your spice packaging performs as well as it looks.
Moisture and Oxygen Barrier
High-barrier films help protect your spices from moisture pick-up and oxidation, reducing clumping, off-notes, and colour fade. We recommend structures based on your product type and shelf-life targets, from fine powders to coarse blends and whole spices.
Light and Aroma Protection
Opaque and metallised film options help shield light-sensitive spices while limiting aroma loss through the pouch wall. Optional clear windows let you showcase colour and texture without compromising overall barrier performance.
Food-Grade, Consistent Seal Quality
All materials, inks, and adhesives are food-contact suitable for major markets and are designed to run reliably on your filling equipment. Strong, repeatable seals help prevent leaks and pinholes, so your spices arrive in perfect condition.
Options for Recyclable and Compostable Structures
Where your product and distribution chain allow, we can offer recyclable mono-material films or certified compostable structures for selected spice applications — helping you balance barrier performance with sustainability goals.
Spice Packaging for Every Product Line
Whether you sell everyday staples or premium blends, we tailor spice packaging to your products, formats, and price points — so each line gets the right balance of protection, branding, and cost.
Dry Spice Blends & Rubs
High-barrier stand-up and flat-bottom pouches help keep bold, oil-containing blends from oxidising or clumping while giving you clear space for flavour callouts and usage ideas.
Herbs, Botanicals & Tea Ingredients
Delicate herbs and botanicals stay fresher in film structures that protect against light, moisture, and odours, with optional windows so customers can still see colour and leaf texture.
Ethnic, Gourmet & Gift Collections
Premium spice lines and curated gift sets benefit from flat-bottom “box” pouches or custom stand-up pouches that look high-end on shelf and support longer shelf lives.
Foodservice & Bulk Spice Packs
For foodservice, industrial use, or large refills, we scale up pouch sizes and barriers to handle heavier fill weights and tougher handling from warehouse to kitchen.

FAQ for “Spice Packaging”
What is the best packaging for seasoning?
The best packaging for seasoning is an airtight, light-protective container that blocks moisture and oxygen. High-barrier stand-up or flat-bottom pouches with reclosable zippers work well for most retail spices and blends.
Do I need FDA approval to sell spices?
In the United States, most spices and seasonings do not need individual “FDA approval” before sale, but they must comply with FDA food safety and labelling regulations. Your facility, processes, and labels must meet federal, state, and local requirements, so always confirm details with your local authorities or a qualified food safety advisor.
What is the best packaging material for spices?
The best packaging materials for spices provide strong barriers to moisture, oxygen, and light. Multi-layer high-barrier films or well-designed mono-material pouches are commonly used for spice packaging because they are lightweight, durable, and protect aroma and colour.
How to package spices for resale?
To package spices for resale, use food-grade, high-barrier containers or pouches, fill and seal them in a clean environment, and label each pack with required information such as product name, ingredients, net weight, allergens, and best-before date. Check local regulations to ensure your packaging and labelling meet all legal requirements.
Is it better to store spices in glass or plastic?
Both glass jars and high-barrier plastic pouches can work well for spices as long as they are airtight and kept away from light and heat. Glass offers a premium look and good inertness, while pouches are lighter, more impact-resistant, and often better for shipping and refill formats.
