Custom Dry Food Bags Keep Food Fresh

Properly storing your food product is essential for any business. To do this, you will want to make sure your chosen pouch is able to maintain your food or product’s quality. With this in mind, we make our product packaging flexible with a protective barrier. This Flexible Barrier Packaging is part of a modified atmosphere packaging that protects product integrity while also allowing for a longer food shelf life.

Products such as dry food mixes or pet foods are extremely sensitive to moisture, which means they need to be packaged in enhanced barrier plastic films. This barrier allows no room for moisture to penetrate the product while contained within the package. Other foods, like chips, suffer from taste and texture change when exposed to oxygen. This is what many people refer to as a food item that is stale. In this case, chips would need to be packaged with our oxygen barrier packaging materials.

Camping Meals and Long Term Food Storage 

What was once a sleepy industry catering to the Military as MRE's - "Meals Ready to Eat" has bloomed into a multi-billion dollar industry serving all sorts of clients from campers,  and people living in remote areas to emergency preparedness. Pouches offer a great solution for these items. because they are versatile, strong, and well suited for this application. 


  • Reconstitute in Pouch: CarePac offers high-heat, retort style materials which can withstand having hot water added directly to the bag to reconstitute the product. 
  • High Barrier: You hear us talk a lot about barrier on this site, but for long term dried food storage barrier is not optional. CareFoil high barrier film is the solution to maintaining your dried food for the long term. 


When deciding whether or not you need Carepac’s Flexible Barrier Packaging for your dry food packaging, you should consider the physical capacity and durability of this product. Dried food packaging can often require much higher barrier than you might think.  Also consider the environment you're sending your pouch into.

 

Are these pouches going to be subjected to a lot of wear and tear (like on a multi-day hiking trip? If so, we'll help guide you to a strong durable material. We also always recommend that you consider performing testing to protect against external elements – and see how well our product holds up!

Dry Foods  like Dehydrated fruit can often be packaged well in Stand Up Pouches which are one of our most popular pouch configuration. 

Stand Up Pouches are used for all kinds of applications. Dehydrated fruit needs a strong barrier, so we recommend one of our CareFoil films to keep the moisture out, which means your food's packaging can help maintain the nutritional viability of your product!

/ Pancakes

Snack Food

Packaging


Nuts, chips, and other snacks are also great dried foods which can be easily packaged in custom pouches. These products don't typically require the same level of barrier as dehydrated or freeze dried products and can use any of our CareClear or CareSilver barrier films structures which provide quality economical barrier for all types of pouches. 

Beans and

Lentils


Rice, beans, and lentils require very little barrier. With our custom roll stock, tubing, and fin-seal pouches you can expand your marketing with better logos and graphics without going over-budget on your packaging costs. BOPP and PET clear films are good options for these types of food items.

Seeds

Our square bottom bags have a flat underside that is perfect for dry food items that requires a tight seal.

Our Easy Loading Tamper Resistant Bags are an excellent option you should consider when looking to create dry food packaging.
