What Are The Different Types of Chip Packaging?

When packaging chip products, choosing the right type of packaging is essential to maintain freshness, enhance shelf appeal, and meet sustainability requirements.

Common types of chip packaging in the market.

1. Bags: Bags are the most common form of packaging for crispy chips, usually made of aluminum-plastic composite film or aluminized composite film. This packaging form has good barrier and sealing properties, which can effectively maintain the crisp taste of potato chips. Bags of potato chips are usually filled with nitrogen to prevent the chips from being crushed during transportation and storage.

Also known as flat bottom bags, they combine the features of stand-up bags and boxes. They are sturdy and beautiful in appearance, making them ideal for high-end potato chip brands that want to stand out.	Roll film is used in form-fill-seal (FFS) machines for packaging potato chips on-site. The size and design of coiled film are highly customizable, and large-scale operations are cost-effective.
