Smoked or cured meat snacks, like sausages, salami, or jerky, are great impulse buys to feature at checkout counters. But you can add great value for your customers with a step up to exceptional flexible packaging.
The most common packaging types used for meat snacks are very simple, with few features:
While basic packaging may be adequate for a quick snack, it can produce more waste in multi-serving packs and doesn’t provide any protection if the entire serving isn’t consumed all at once.
On the other hand, stand-up pouches are a significant upgrade for cured meat snacks.
The snack industry continues to thrive and grow—even with the booming healthy living movement. Health-conscious consumers are eating smaller meals and snacks multiple times per day, rather than just the traditional 3 primary meals. High-protein/low-carbohydrate meals and snacks are also popular as they support a number of prominent dietary approaches, including paleo and keto. This creates a great opportunity for snack meat manufacturers, especially if the products also have other health-conscious features, such as organic, non-GMO, or grass-fed sourcing. Additionally, flexible packaging features can support brand positioning and messaging through offering the features mentioned above, especially as they make the consumer experience better and can represent a responsible company making use of sustainable, recyclable, and low-impact supplies.
Our stand-up and other preformed pouches give meat snack manufacturers a number of ready-to-go choices—but the options don’t end there. Customized solutions take your packaging to the next level so you can stand out with a design uniquely yours.
