Custom Snack Bags
Snacks go stale when moisture gets in and get crushed when the bag is weak. Custom snack bags use a barrier film and a strong zipper to keep chips, nuts, trail mix and popcorn crunchy from the first handful to the last, and a stand-up shape gives your brand a big, bold face on the shelf.
We print snack bags for snack startups, nut roasters, popcorn shops, bakeries and food brands across the US.
Sizes for Every Occasion
- Single-serve: small flat pouches for lunchboxes, vending and samples.
- Shareable: 5 × 8 × 3 inch stand-up pouches for 2–4 oz of most snacks.
- Family size: larger stand-up or flat bottom bags for pantry packs.
Mix sizes in one order with the same design.
Freshness Features
A metallized barrier keeps out moisture and light; a press-to-close zipper keeps opened bags crisp. Our film and seals are suitable for nitrogen-flushed filling, which is done at your facility or co-packer.
Shelf Appeal
Gloss makes bright, appetizing colors pop. Matte gives a premium, modern feel. A window shows texture and portion size, which is especially effective for nuts, dried fruit and granola.

Designing Snack Packaging
Snack shoppers decide in a second, so lead with flavor and appetite appeal. Big, bright product photography or illustration, a clear flavor name and a strong brand mark work best. Color-code flavors so customers can grab their favorite without reading the bag.
Use the back panel for nutrition facts, ingredients, allergen information and a barcode. If you sell online, a clean front design also looks good in thumbnails and social posts.
Planning Flavors and Quantities
Each design needs its own minimum, but they can all be printed in the same production run and shipped together. Many brands launch with three or four core flavors and add seasonal flavors later in a smaller run.
Questions Customers Ask
Are snack bags grease-resistant?
Yes. The inner film resists oils from chips and nuts, so grease does not soak through.
Can I print nutrition facts on the bag?
Yes. Most brands place nutrition facts, ingredients and allergens on the back panel.
Can I order multiple flavors?
Yes. Each flavor needs its own minimum, and all flavors can print in one run.
