Why Are Potato Chip Bags Always so Puffy?
The puffiness of snack packaging bags of potato chip bags isn’t due to “shortchanging the customer,” but rather because they are filled with nitrogen gas! This inert gas prevents the potato chips from oxidizing and becoming stale, while also acting as a cushion to prevent them from breaking into pieces during transportation.
Fun fact: Potato chip bags usually use a three-layer composite structure of PET//AL//PE. The aluminum foil layer can block 99% of light and oxygen.
Adapt OPP//VMCPP structure when you want to save costs. Although the CPP aluminum-plated layer doesn’t achieve the same effect as aluminum foil, its function is similar, and this structure maximizes cost savings! Next time you see a puffy bag of potato chips, remember that it’s protecting the delicious contents inside!
The “Click” Sound of a Zipper Bag Holds a Hidden Secret.
High-quality zipper bags feature precisely designed interlocking teeth with a tolerance of just 0.1mm, ensuring a perfect seal with every opening and closing. This design not only prevents snacks from spilling but also allows for easy tearing when sharing, while keeping the remaining snacks fresh.
Besides using small individual packaging, zipper bags can also be used for cookies to maintain their freshness.
Why Are Nuts and Dried Fruits Packaged in Aluminum Foil Composite Bags?
Nuts and dried fruits are relatively high-value products, and using an aluminum foil layer can block 99% of light and oxygen.
This allows the product to remain fresh for a long time. While the cost of using aluminum foil packaging is relatively low, it significantly improves the packaging’s quality and shelf life. The “rustling” feel of the nut bag: This is the special tactile sensation of the aluminum foil composite material. The middle aluminum foil layer acts like “sunscreen” for the nuts, blocking light and oxygen, preventing macadamia nuts from going rancid even after six months.
How to Assess the Quality of a Snack Packaging Supplier?
- Look at the structure: High-end snacks usually use a three-layer or more composite structure, such as PET/AL/PE, which provides better barrier properties. If the supplier can recommend suitable materials based on cost, printing, and functionality, then they are a qualified supplier.
- Feel the texture: High-quality packaging bags have a smooth feel, clear printing, and no strange odors. The zipper of a resealable bag should be smooth and close tightly. This indicates that the supplier has good quality control.
- Check the details: Pay attention to whether the sealing line of the packaging bag is even and whether there are any signs of leakage or damage. Good packaging bags have thin and even sealing lines without rough edges. If this supplier has strict quality control, they will be the best partner on your product journey!
