Cereal and Granola Packaging

Eco-friendly cereal packaging and granola pouches that keep every bowl crisp.

Cereal and granola packaging for modern consumers

The shift towards active lifestyles and a more conscious approach to healthy eating has driven the growth in the cereal and granola market. While more cereal and granola brands are moving from traditional cartons to flexible packaging, the packaging itself has to work harder than ever in this competitive space.

Stand up pouches suit mid sized retail packs that need clear shelf presence and easy resealing. Flat bottom pouches give a more box like look with a stable base and clean side panels, which works well for premium granola and muesli. Side gusset bags are a practical choice for larger weights, refill formats or food service. For portioned offers we supply flat sachets or flow wrap films for bar and single serve lines.

Granola pouches that lock in flavor and crunch.

Cereal and granola packaging has to do one main job very well: keep the crunch. These products are light, bulky and full of fragile pieces that can break if the pack does not support them properly. They are also highly sensitive to moisture and oxygen.

Even a small rise in humidity is enough to flatten the crunch, dull the flavour and leave dusty crumbs at the bottom of the bag. That is why cereal and granola packs have to do more than simply hold volume. They need strong moisture and oxygen barrier, good aroma retention and resistance to grease.

Got questions about our cereal packaging?

From formats to materials, here are the essentials about our cereal and granola packaging solutions.

Have a different question?

For most cereals and granola, we use laminated films such as PET/PE or OPP/PE with good moisture and oxygen barrier. The exact structure depends on your recipe and shelf life target, so we normally review your ingredients first, then recommend a film that keeps crunch and flavour stable.

Yes. Stand up pouches with resealable a zipper are one of the most common formats for cereals and granola. They give you a good facing on shelf, plenty of print area and, once opened, customers can pour easily and close the pack again.

Loose granola and flakes are usually packed in pouches or bags, while bars are wrapped individually on a flow wrap film or bar line. Bar films are chosen for seal strength, speed and tight wrapping around the product so the bar does not move or break in transport. Both formats still need suitable barrier to protect coatings, nuts and inclusions.

Yes. We offer recyclable mono material pouches and films for many dry cereal and granola products, as well as more conventional laminates where needed. Our role is to balance sustainability with shelf life and line performance, then give you a clear view of which options are realistic for your range.

Yes. Single serve packs can be made as small 3 side seal sachets, mini stand up pouches or individual bar wraps. These work well for hotels, cafés, gyms and on the go breakfast offers, and can be specified in recyclable materials where the product and route to market allow it.

For repeat use, simple press to close zippers are usually the best starting point. For heavier or premium packs we can also look at different zip profiles or hook and loop style closures. The choice depends on pack weight, film structure and how often the pack will be opened and closed at home.
