Solution
Dried fruit and nut packaging has one job paper does better than plastic: it lets the product sell itself through a window while protecting it from light, moisture and the oils that seep out of nuts. The structure has to stand up on a retail shelf, reseal after the first handful, and survive the trip from our floor to yours without crushing the contents.
The kit we build for dry goods brands
| Kraft stand-up pouches | 100–150 gsm kraft with a heat-sealable inner layer and clear window, self-standing on shelf, zip-lock reseal option above 200 g. |
| Tin-tie & zip bags | Kraft or white kraft with wire tin-tie or press-close zip for nuts, cookies, coffee and tea — reopenable without losing shape. |
| Flat-bottom pouches | Self-supporting base for higher fill weights and better shelf presence, gusseted sides, optional degassing valve. |
| Counter & scoop bags | 80–120 gsm SOS bags for market stalls, refill stations and bulk-food sections. |
| Corrugated shipper cartons | E-flute with inner dividers sized to the pouch count, so dried fruit arrives uncrushed after container transit. |
| Sleeves & labels | Printed belly bands and labels that turn a stock pouch into a branded SKU without a full print run. |
Where it is used
Dried fruit & nut brands
Window stand-up pouches that show the colour and cut of the product instead of hiding it.
Granola & cereal makers
Flat-bottom and zip pouches with a fill-weight panel and batch coding space on the back.
Private label & supermarket ranges
One structure, several flavours — sleeves and label changes keep the range flexible.
E-commerce & subscription boxes
Pouches packed into printed shippers, drop-tested for parcel networks.
What decides the specification
- Oil migration: nuts release oils that stain plain paper, so the inner layer or grease barrier is matched to the product, not guessed.
- Moisture and aroma control — the structure keeps dried fruit soft and nuts crisp for the shelf life you claim on the label.
- Window film choice: PE as standard, PLA compostable film where your market's packaging rules allow it.
- Resealability engineered in — zip locks and tin-ties are quoted as structure options, not afterthoughts.
- Food-contact documentation for the exact paper, film and inner layer quoted, export-ready for your market.
- Pallet and carton maths done up front: pouches per carton, cartons per layer, so landed cost per pouch is known before you order.

Frequently asked questions
Are the stand-up pouches heat-sealable?
Yes. The inner layer is designed for heat sealing on standard filling lines or with a hand sealer for small batches. Tell us your filling setup and we will confirm the seal layer and temperature window.
Is the window compostable?
We can quote PLA compostable window film. It costs more than PE and has to match your market's packaging regulations, so tell us where the product will be sold and we will confirm what qualifies.
Will nut oils stain the kraft paper?
Not through the structure we quote. Oily products get a grease-resistant or heat-sealed inner layer so oils stay inside the pouch — the same principle we use for bakery packaging.
What is the minimum order?
From 5,000 pieces per item and size for printed pouches and bags. Printed sleeves and labels on stock pouches can go lower — send the SKU list and we will quote both routes.
