Picking the Right Bag for Your Candy Packaging

Taffy, Caramel, Nougats

These candies should be individually wrapped to reduce clumping, and allow your customer to pick them out individually to eat. Clear cellophane or printed roll stock is a great choice for the candy packaging design for these sweet treats such as cookies. Especially if you’re looking to show off each delectable flavor, you’ll need individual wrapping to do so.

Moist Candies

Do not mix candies that absorb moisture such as caramels, mints and hard candies with candies that lose moisture such as fudge and creamy candies. While the barrier of your outer custom printed candy packaging will prevent the moisture from getting out of the bag, the moisture will migrate between the candies. Storing these sweets in the same container will cause the harder candies to become sticky. To make sure that hard candies stay hard, sprinkle with finely ground sugar and store in an air-tight jar.

Chocolate Candies

FAQs

Q: What type of candy can I package with your pouches?

The sky’s the limit! We’ve done pouches for gummies, chocolate covered pretzels, candy canes, chocolate, caramels, you name it, we can pouch it.

Q: Can I do a pouch with a place to see the candy?

Yes, that is known as a ”window”. Simply lay it out in your art file. Windows are commonly shaded light grey or blue to call them out.

Q: I want my pouch to hold 4 ounces of my candy. What size should I use?

This is tricky as different candies are different volumes. We recommend using pouch dimensions (width x length x gusset). You can order samples here, or if there’s someone in your market with a perfectly sized pouch, break out the measuring tape and let’s use those.

Q: Loading and sealing the bags is taking a lot of time. Any ideas?

If you’re using a three seal flat pouch, we recommend switching to what’s known as a “bottom fill configuration” that means everything is nicely sealed at the top and you put the candy through the bottom and heat seal there. It saves a lot of time.

Q: Can I print on both sides of the pouch?

Yes, of course. Our candy clients often have nutritional information, UPC codes and ingredients on the back of the pouch. You can even print on the bottom of a stand up pouch, that’s another spot for a UPC code or web address.
