Questions
Everything you need to know about snack packaging, compliance, and lead times.
No. HFSS placement rules and allergen labelling are industry-specific regulatory frameworks that change frequently. We design packaging that accommodates the labels and category positioning your regulatory team requires. For HFSS rules, retailer placement, and allergen claims, work with a UK food regulatory consultant. We'll make sure the pouch has the space and structure to meet their guidance.
Crisps, protein bars, and single-portion snacks use rollstock pillow packs and FFS wraps for high volume, low per-unit cost. Trail mix and granola (250g-500g) work best on stand-up pouches with window panels. Larger multi-serve packs (500g-1kg) suit stand-up with press-to-close closures. Specialist categories like pasta, rice, and organics use flat bottom pouches. We map your snack to the right format.
Plain stock on standard sizes starts at £250. Custom print on standard tooling is £1,000 minimum. Bespoke dimensions and custom sizes are £1,750 minimum. Rollstock for pillow packs and sachets is £1,000 custom print only.
