Snack Packaging

Packaging Snacks

Snacks are a prominent part of the Indian diet with a wide array of snacks and namkeens being produced for the Indian market today. There are a wide range of snack-based products produced in different shapes and sizes that require different pouch formats for packaging. Snack based products require high quality packaging solutions and specific food packaging machines to ensure that the freshness, quality and consistency of the snack is maintained in the packaging. 

Handle With CarePackaging machines in India today, incorporate modern technology and international grade equipment to produce automatic machines that provide packaging solutions for a wide range of snack and namkeen products with dedicated design solutions. The products packed by these machines include chips, puffed snacks, dry fruits, wrapped candies, biscuits, cookies, nuts, soya chunks, Indian namkeens like chiwda, etc.. These products come in different shapes and consistency and the packaging has to accommodate for this and ensure that the snack doesn’t get damaged through tools like vacuum seal packaging.

    The Two main areas of concern for snack-based products are damage to the snack like chips and biscuits crumbling, and the product becoming stale before being eaten. Today’s machines have to ensure that from packaging to display on shelf and finally to consumption, the snack and namkeen product should remain intact and fresh.

It’s all About the PackageAlong with maintaining freshness, the packaging machines have to offer unique and attractive pouch formats that give the snack an attractive shelf presence. These goods are designed for daily consumption and the market is saturated with heavy competition across most of the snack products. Therefore it is vital for packing machines to be able to pack multiple pouch formats in various sizes. The center seal pillow and gusset pouch formats are common and popular for snack product packaging. The machines also offer packaging from small volume single sachet packs to large volume packs.
 

The MachinesFor packaging snack based food products, vertical form fill seal machines are preferred, allowing for quick packaging of food products in different sizes. Modern packing equipment adheres to stringent international quality standards.These machines also have to come equipped with a perforation system to produce a chain of pouches. 

    High output packaging is essential for the snack industry with machines required to package as many as 150 packs per minute. They are designed to package multiple product types in many different sizes and offer quick and easy tool less changeover of size parts for minimum product falling height.
 

Keeping it “Fresh”Namkeen Packaging Machines in India have to be accurate, efficient, fast and reliable for high speed and high output packing. Snack based products are easily perishable and require packaging that not only keeps it fresh, but also protects it from mishandling. 

    These products need to have a strong shelf life along with an attractive shelf presence.  The market today, has a lot of snack-based brands and subpar packaging will reduce the value of the product. Today, machines have to strive to provide the best packaging solutions for snack and namkeen products.
