Popcorn Packaging
Custom Printed Popcorn Packaging to Beat the Competition
Popcorn is one of the most popular snacks in the United States. It's been enjoyed by humans for hundreds of years. In fact, scientists have found evidence of popcorn in 1,000 year old peruvian tombs. Popcorn first became an American staple in the late 1890's when an entrepreneur from Chicago invented the first popcorn-popping machine. Nowadays, popcorn, both in kernel form or fully-popped, is found in the snack aisles of supermarkets and other retail outlets across the country.
CarePac specializes in using high-quality flexible barrier film to create custom packaging for your popcorn products. Popcorn is considered a healthy snack, full of flavor and fiber. The last thing customers want is popcorn that's chewy and stale. Protecting your product from moisture and oxygen is what keeps your corn fresh and crunchy. We know how to layer different barrier films to create airtight packaging that locks in flavor and extends the shelf life of your popcorn so it's ready for your customers to enjoy.
Everything You Need to Know About Our
Flexible Frozen Food Packaging
Stand Up
Pouch
The stand up pouch is the most popular flexible barrier configuration we make. These bags are outfitted with a bottom gusset, that when deployed, allows the pouch to "stand up" on a shelf in a store. Add features such as a zipper closure and a tear notch for extra convenience. This pouch is great for both kernels and fully popped corn.
Single
Serving
With a 3 seal pouch configuration, you load the the popcorn in the same way your customer would remove it - through the top. Additionally, bags with a zipper closure could be used without heat-sealing. 3 seal pouches pack well in standard cardboard boxes, saving you money when shipping your product to retailers.
Pillow
Pouch
Save money on your Pillow Pouch tubing and roll stock with CarePac. Our tubing and VFFS roll stock is compatible with most filling and loading machines. But unlike your machine maker, we focus only on the consumables, so our pricing can be substantially better than theirs.

Avoid the
China Trap
Purchasing pouches from China does not provide cheaper or faster alternatives, like many small and medium sized businesses have been made to believe. In fact, many of our current clients have encountered problems when ordering from China due to the language barrier, the lack of compliance documentation, longer lead times and, above all, higher tariffs.
From Popcorn Kernals
to Kettle Corn
Popping Corn
Gourmet popping corn needs quality high impact packaging to get noticed and SELL. While popping corn is a naturally preserved product, the presentation of it to the consumer is extremely important. Flexible pouches save your company money over hard sided jars.
Popcorn Snacks
Popcorn is a grown snack food segment. But you need to your packaging to do a few things if you plan to grown. First, maintain freshness and shelf-life. Second, show off your brand so customers choose your pop corn over the competition.
Kettle Corn
Kettle Corn has unique moisture vapor transmission requirements. Soggy, or overly dried out Kettle corn won't make for happy customers, and if you're shelf-life is too short, you'll have endless supply chain problems. Luckily CarePac's got you covered.
Custom Flexible Barrier
Film Packaging
Here are some of the configurations available for custom food packaging.
Stock options can offer typical unit sizes for your food packaging, however, if you find your
company’s needs are different than stock sizes, flexible barrier packaging allows for creating
the size best suited to your needs.
Choosing the Right Flexible
Barrier Popcorn Bags
Flexible barrier packaging is a great solution for preserving the freshness of your popcorn products.
There are certain considerations that should be taken into account when deciding on the right type of barrier packaging bags for your popcorn. How long is your product going to be in the package? What is the required shelf life? How important is the freshness of your product?
Stand up bags offer many unique benefits over traditional popcorn packaging containers. First let's look at convenience. Customers want a package that easy to open and reseal to keep their favorite snack fresh. Configuring your flexible popcorn containers with a tear notch coupled with a recloseable zipper gives the end-user the best of both worlds. Plus, as a manufacturer, you get to save costs. Pouches and bags are flexible and lightweight - you can pack more items into a shipping container and less weight equals savings on shipping costs.

These are just some of the questions our packaging specialists will walk you through as we prepare to create your custom flexible barrier packaging. We are here to serve!

Q: Can I print my own design on my custom popcorn packaging?
Depending on your needs and preference, we offer custom printing both digitally and with the use of plates.
