Asia-Pacific Snack Food Packaging Market – Overview
Snack food packaging offers oxygen, moisture, and light barrier qualities to safeguard snacks. Food spoilage and product damage are prevented or minimized through snack food packaging. They are utilized in the packaging of snack foods including potato chips, crackers, wafers, and others. The two primary types of snack food packaging are flexible packaging and rigid packaging. Flexible packaging is constructed of plastic, film, foil, paper bags, or pouches that are heat-sealed or pressure-sealed, making it lighter than rigid packaging. In bakery snacks, sweets and confections, savory snacks, nuts and dried fruits, and other uses, plastic, paper, metal, and other materials are employed.
