1. Packaging with direct contact

It can be easily observed that plastic packaging is widely utilised for candies and snacks as the direct contact surface. Therefore, in this article, we will focus on the importance, materials and usage of plastic packaging in packing candies and snacks. In addition, you can also consult some of our existing packagings that can be used for snacks and cakes.

2. Structure & composition of plastic packaging

Due to the variety of candies and snacks, plastic packaging for them comes in many different sizes and shapes. In many cases, candies and snacks often have short to medium shelf life since they consists of certain characteristics such as crispiness, softness, and easily affected by oxidation when exposed to the environment with high moisture or high temperature. Therefore, the contents of candy and snack packaging require level of protection and preservation. Besides, there are some candies and cakes that are required to be kept in a certain shape of form. This means that the structure & composition of the plastic packaging has to be controlled in a much stricter manner so that the quality of the products are ensured when they reach the customers.

E.g. To preserve a package of Pia cake (a special cake come from South-Western Vietnam), the packaging manufacturer has to make sure that the packaging will seal and protect the cake from oxidation, moisture, and lighting at the highest level. This is to ensure that the color, smell, and taste of the cake is kept at the desired quality. Additionally, the packaging has to make sure that the shape and form of the cake is kept as it was made during the transportation and distribution process. For such products, at DN Pack, we usually opt for plastic packaging that is composed of PET/PE, or PET/MPET/PE, or PET/AL/PE to offer the most optimal performance.

Therefore, depending on the characteristic of the products, the packaging manufacturer has to make sure that the structure & composition of plastic packaging is the most optimal and cost efficient.
