THINGS TO KNOW.

Hand Filling

For brands that are still getting traction in the marketplace, we conveniently offer our wrappers pre-formed for manual/hand-filling. This way you don’t need an expensive flow wrapper or a co-packer to get started. Once the end is sealed, it looks just like what you’d see in the store!

Food Safety

Food safety is our number one priority. Our SQF (Safe Quality Food) Level 2 certification is built into every bar wrapper we print. This assures brand owners that their bar or energy ball product can come in safe contact with our wrappers and stand up pouches.

Bulk Packing

It’s not just bar wrappers. We offer printed display boxes/cartons, stand up pouches, shrink sleeves, and pressure sensitive bar labels. Perfect for snack brands that have multiple SKU’s and products in their storefront.

Bar & Protein Wrapper: FAQ


Do You Offer Custom Sizes?

For automated filling, we can produce any size needed. For hand-filling, we offer one standard size that covers about 85% of the requests we receive. Tip: Download our wrapper template PDF and print to full size. If it looks like a match, request a sample kit to be sure.

Heat Seal vs. Cold Seal: What's the difference?

Heat seal film requires heat and pressure to create a bond. Cold seal film only requires pressure via a food-safe adhesive. Note: Cold seal is exclusive to automated filling, so heat seal is the only option for manual filling.

How do I prevent my bars from getting hard or oily?

We use multi-layer high-barrier laminates that block moisture and oxygen. This prevents protein bars from drying out and stops chocolate coatings from blooming or fats from seeping through the film.

What finishes are best for the "Energy" market?

Most bar brands prefer Matte or Soft-Touch finishes to signal a premium, healthy product. However, Metallic Spot finishes are incredibly popular for performance/energy bars to grab attention on-shelf.
