FAQs

Food & snacks packaging FAQs

More answers on our FAQ page, or call (647) 494-7229.

Are your pouches suitable for food?

Yes. We build pouches and roll stock for food brands every day. Tell us about your product and we will recommend a structure and supply material specifications for it.

How do I choose between a stand-up pouch and a lay flat pouch?

Stand-up pouches stand on the shelf and hold larger fills; lay flat pouches use less material and suit samples, single servings and peg displays.

Can you help me extend shelf life?

Barrier films, resealable zippers and good sealing all help. We match the film structure to your product and target shelf life.

Do you supply roll stock for co-packers?

Yes. We supply printed roll stock for vertical and horizontal form-fill-seal lines and can ship straight to your co-packer.
