About This Packaging
Nuts and snack packaging is one of the most demanding segments in flexible packaging for fat oxidation and aroma retention. Almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, cashews and pistachios are high-fat (50-70%) products; these fats become rancid in the presence of light, oxygen and temperature. Chips, crackers and extruded snacks are sensitive to moisture ingress — loss of crispness directly affects purchase decisions. MyPlast nuts and snack packaging is produced MAP (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) compatible, with high barrier and nitrogen-flushing integration.
A secondary challenge in snack packaging is filling speed. Chips and extruded snacks are packaged on high-speed VFFS lines producing 200-400 packs per minute; film strength, seal speed and print quality must keep pace. MyPlast optimises film properties for high-speed VFFS compatibility.
Barrier Requirements
Oxygen barrier (OTR): For high-fat nuts, OTR ≤2 cc/m²/day is mandatory; otherwise rancidity sets in within 3-6 months. PET/MET-PET/PE or BOPP/MET-BOPP structure is standard; aluminium foil is preferred for premium and long shelf-life products. In MAP packaging, nitrogen flushing keeps O₂ concentration below 2%.
Moisture barrier (MVTR): Chips and extruded snacks target MVTR ≤2 g/m²/day. Loss of crispness begins above 4% moisture content. Metallized laminate and EVOH barrier are used.
Light protection: In transparent or partially transparent packaging, UV oxidation accelerates fat rancidity. For premium nut brands, full light protection (aluminium foil or full metallization) is recommended.
Material Options
- 1Metallized PET/MET-PET/PE — the standard structure for nuts and premium snack segment. OTR ≤2 cc/m²/day and matte or glossy premium print surface.
- 2PET/Aluminium/PE — for long shelf-life nut export products. Absolute light protection and near-zero oxygen transfer.
- 3BOPP/MET-BOPP — preferred on high-speed VFFS lines for chips and extruded snacks. Excellent film strength and seal properties.
- 4Mono-PE recyclable structure — for sustainability-conscious snack brands. CEFLEX-compliant; routable to mechanical recycling streams.
Packaging Format Options
Pillow bag (chips and extruded snacks): High-speed production on VFFS lines in 25-200 g formats. Anti-static inner layer and nitrogen flushing as standard.
Doypack (premium nuts 100-500g): Stand-up doypack with reclosable zipper. Premium print quality and shelf visibility. Ideal for premium positioning.
Single-portion flowpack (20-50g): Snack single portion, treat and gift packs. High-speed HFFS compatible.
Side-gusset bag (1-5kg wholesale): Wholesale format for raw and roasted nuts. For restaurant and catering channels.
MAP doypack: Modified atmosphere (nitrogen 98%+, O₂ <2%) packaging; extends shelf life from 12 months to 18-24 months.
Certification & Food Safety
MyPlast packaging is produced under BRCGS AA Global Standard and ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System. All food-contact materials are migration-tested for compliance with EU Regulation 10/2011. These certifications ensure your products meet market entry requirements for the EU, GCC and Turkish markets.
MOQ & Ordering Process
Stock MOQ is 1,000 pieces with a 3–5 business day lead time. For custom-print orders, MOQ is 5,000 pieces with 10–15 business day lead time. For VFFS/flowpack reel supply, minimum 200 kg per reel specification applies.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is MAP (modified atmosphere) important in nut packaging?
In high-fat nuts under standard atmosphere (O₂ ~21%), fat oxidation is rapid; shelf life is limited to 6-12 months. MAP applies nitrogen flushing keeping O₂ below 2%. This practically halts fat oxidation, extending shelf life to 18-24 months. MAP is standard for premium export products.
How is crispness preserved in chips packaging?
Chip crispness is preserved when moisture content is kept below 4%. This requires metallized barrier with MVTR ≤2 g/m²/day (PET/MET-PET/PE or BOPP/MET-BOPP) and hermetic sealing. Additionally, nitrogen flushing fills 95% of internal volume — providing both oxygen control and pack appearance / chip-protection from crushing.
What is the MOQ for nut packaging?
For in-stock nut packaging, MOQ is 1,000 pieces. For custom-printed doypack, MOQ is 5,000 pieces; for MAP doypack, 5,000 pieces (nitrogen-compatible inner layer). For chips and extruded snack reel film, minimum 200 kg per specification.
Which film properties are tested for high-speed VFFS lines?
For high-speed VFFS compatibility, MyPlast film samples undergo: COF (coefficient of friction) 0.2-0.4 range, seal strength ASTM F88 minimum 25 N/15 mm, anti-static resistance <10¹¹ Ω, print surface DIN 53151 ≥38 dyn/cm. These properties guarantee both seal quality and print stability at 200-400 packs/minute speeds.
