Common packaging challenges
- Moisture absorption affecting crispness and texture
- Oxygen exposure causing rancidity in oily snacks

Recommended packaging types
Material structure suggestions
Common snack packaging material structures include BOPP/CPP for lightweight snacks and automatic packing, PET/PE for general dry snacks, PET/VMPET/PE for improved moisture, light and aroma barrier, PET/AL/PE for higher barrier requirements, and Kraft/VMPET/PE for kraft-style snack pouches.
Important: BOPP/CPP is suitable for lightweight snacks and automatic packing but may not meet barrier requirements for all high-barrier products. PET/VMPET/PE can improve moisture, light and aroma barrier. Aluminum foil structures are used for higher barrier needs but come with higher cost. The final structure should be confirmed based on product oil content, fragility, shelf life and packing machine.
