  Most of the time, chocolate doesn’t degrade all at once. Instead, it deteriorates by steadily losing characteristics related to texture, flavor, aroma, and appearance. Because of this gradual degradation, some chocolate products may technically still be safe to eat but no longer enjoyable. Chocolate expiration dates are often meant to represent the quality of the product rather than safety; improper or sub-par conditions may cause deterioration well before the expiration date is reached. Chocolate in a deteriorated state may indicate aging (i.e., “bloom”) and may lose taste, develop different mouth-feel characteristics, or other indicators that suggest improper storage conditions affecting the product. Oxygen and water are the most common reasons for the gradual deterioration of chocolate. Even the smallest amount of air or moisture that enters the package over time can trigger unwanted chemical reactions between sugars and oils. This would happen more quickly with milk chocolate...

  Most customers do not consider packaging to be separate from the products inside. When it comes to Mylar bags, the product should exceed the customer’s expectations because they are perceived to be denser than regular plastic packaging. When printing on Mylar bags, clear printing and sharp edges convey an attitude of care and intent. When the printing on a Mylar bag is faded or uneven, sureness about the contents can be diminished, even if they are actually in good condition. With regard to defects and other problems with Mylar (e.g., alignment, color, smudging), their reflective nature makes them easier for customers to see versus using a matte paper or cardboard type of substrate. Thus, companies that do not understand the printing processes and setup will be more affected by the printing process than they typically expect. Another aspect of printing on Mylar bags that companies should consider is consistency among each production run. When companies order multiple production r...

  The custom Mylar bag manufacturing industry has grown beyond simply producing bulk amounts of packaged products. Brands that want to develop and test new products with minimal up-front commitments are reducing friction, enabling more independent or emerging brands to compete with traditional packaging sources, as well as an increasing number of independent brands challenging traditional packaging sources. The expectation of order volume has been reduced from making larger quantities of product packaging to smaller quantities to create and test new packaging concepts with minimal commitment, creating more innovation; lowering the time for production and enhancing design flexibility has transitioned linear order volumes from premium offerings to baseline expectations for brand owners.  Brand owners now expect to have their products packaged and have the packaging change quickly, owing to design decisions made prior to the completion of theproject. These evolving expectations h...

  Glow-in-the-dark package design is moving from novelty to strategy, and brands within the competitive e-commerce and retail markets are discovering that using visual differentiation will drive sales. Packaging will continue to provide an experience, even when the lights go out, that can't be replicated with traditional printing techniques. Glow-in-the-dark Mylar bags create the perfect combination of high-barrier protection and an interactive visual element that provide odor resistance and strength, along with blocking moisture, oxygen, and light. However, the experience of the product is different based on where the customer is using it. In low-light environments like bars, clubs, and dispensaries, glow-in-the-dark packaging has a natural competitive advantage. Additionally, packaging that glows creates a strong brand recall; thus, memorable packaging will encourage repeat purchases. Customers often share unique packaging designs on social media, allowing amplification of brand ...

  Resealable Mylar bags are very convenient for customers because their design integrates into their daily routines. Common sense would tell that using something that could be held together with clips, inside containers, or effort to keep from coming open is not an option when using food or other goods.  Resealable Mylar bags offer customers the ability to access products multiple times without compromising freshness. Resealable Mylar Bags will give consumers access to products consumed progressively, such as snacks, powders, dog food, or any specialty product being consumed a little at a time.  By simply resealing the bag, there is a lot less mess when the bag is sealed correctly due to any potential for spills, crumbs, or night air exposure when opening and closing the bags. Whether in your pantry, backpack, or retail display, resealable Mylar bags make it easier on you to store your product. Shoppers perceive value with the resealable Mylar bag packaging. Many shoppers...

  Even though dry dog food appears stable, it is very sensitive to oxygen. Once air enters the bag, fats oxidize and nutrients begin to break down. This is why kibble can smell bad long before the expiration date and why an animal may not eat it if it has smelled bad for a while. Normal storage containers will slow the oxidization of dog food, however they will not stop it completely. Most containers of dry dog food are not completely airtight at the molecular level. Using Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers, you can greatly reduce the exposure to oxygen. For an in-depth understanding about storing dog food in Mylar bags and whether or not it works for storing dog food, check out my article titled Can You Store Dog Food in Mylar Bags? for more information on how this method works and why you would want to use it.

  Selecting a storage bag that will serve your needs for the long term can be very rewarding. The choice of bag can also affect your food storage or product packaging with respect to the overall freshness, shelf life, and quality of that product. Two bags many people commonly evaluate for food storage versus packaging needs are Mylar bags and vacuum bags. Most people, however, do not understand how dissimilar the performance of these two bags really is. Mylar bags are made from multiple layers of various materials engineered to block the transfer of oxygen, moisture, light, and odor from the outside of the bag to the inside of the bag. Mylar bags are perfect for long-term storage when used in conjunction with oxygen absorbers. Foods placed in Mylar bags may have a shelf life of years rather than months. Due to their ability to preserve food for long periods of time, Mylar bags are widely used for emergency food storage, bulk dry goods, and sensitive products that require stable sto...
